Fully Funded PhD Studentships in Pancreatic Beta-Cell Regeneration, Protein Design and Neural Signal Control University of Exeter in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Leicester in AI-designed binders, secretome research, and discovery proteomics . This funded CASE PhD project explores whether AI-designed mini-binders can be made selective enough to recognize the right protein target in complex biological samples. The work focuses on the secretome and aims to create new tools for discovery science and future diagnostics. You will use existing proteomic datasets to identify secreted proteins of interest, design binders with ...

PhD opportunity: Connectomics across sexes, species and states at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom . This project sits at the intersection of neuroscience , biology , molecular biology , biophysics , bioengineering , and computational analysis. The research focuses on connectomics —synaptic-resolution wiring diagrams—to study how neural circuits generate behaviour in Drosophila and related species. The group has already contributed to majo...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the Institute for the Science of Early Years and Youth (ISEY), University of East London, Stratford Campus, United Kingdom. The project focuses on shared reading , early cognitive development , attention , language development , and dual-brain EEG . It asks how caregiver-child interactions support learning, how moment-to-moment neural activity becomes coordinated during shared reading, and how interpersonal neural coordination relates to children’s attention, enga...

PhD opportunity in Psychiatric Nutrigenomics focused on gene–diet interaction, FADS2, and psychiatric risk. This fully funded doctoral project is offered through the GW4 BioMed MRC Doctoral Training Partnership and is part of an interdisciplinary supervisory team across Cardiff University , University of Exeter , University of Bath , and collaborators at Maastricht University . The research asks how genetic variation and dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) interact at the molecular and c...
