Funded PhD in Free Fatty Acid Regulation of Beta-Coronavirus Infection at the University of Bristol University of Bristol in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute with Dr Peter Rosenthal on cryomicroscopy of lipid-enveloped virus entry and assembly . The project sits at the intersection of structural biology , virology , cell biology , and biophysics , with a strong emphasis on cryo-EM , cryo-ET , and related imaging/computational methods. The research aims to directly image key steps in infection by lipid-enveloped viruses such as influenza and retroviruses . Topics include virus entry, receptor binding, mem...

Research Associate on the structural biology of bacterial secretion systems at Imperial College London (South Kensington Campus, London, UK). This is a postdoctoral research opening in the Department of Infectious Disease , working with Prof Harry Low and the Low Lab on the molecular mechanism of bacterial secretion systems, including the Tad and Type 4 pilus systems. The project is strongly focused on structural biology , cryo-electron microscopy (SPA, in-situ SPA, tomography), TIRF microscopy ...

PhD opportunity in Engineering Biology at the University of Bristol , offered in collaboration with Prof Dek Woolfson through the SWBio DTP . The project is titled Engineering co-translational protein assembly using de novo designed proteins (Project ID: 3544). It asks how proteins assemble while being synthesised on the ribosome, building on advances in protein structure prediction such as AlphaFold and focusing on the folding and assembly of de novo designed coiled-coil proteins during transla...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of Birmingham in cardiovascular/biomedical research. The project is titled “Decoding IL-17-mediated immune-cardiac signalling and electrical remodelling during cardiorenal stress” and is advertised by Professor Davor Pavlovic together with Asif Iqbal . This PhD is a strong fit for students interested in cardiac pathophysiology , immune-cardiac signalling , electrical remodelling , cardiorenal stress , and IL-17 -related mechanisms. The post explicit...

Keele University’s School of Life Sciences is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Arbovirus Refractory Team and contribute to a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship research programme. The project addresses the burden of mosquito-borne infectious diseases by developing a novel technology to limit the dissemination of Alphaviruses by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The research uses genetic modification of both viruses and mosquitoes to investigate virus function and develop approaches to c...
