Funded PhD in Host-Pathogen Interactions of the Cryptosporidium Parasite The Francis Crick Institute in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute / Teichmann Group, focused on genomics, bioinformatics, immunity, single-cell genomics, spatial genomics, immunology, cell biology, developmental biology, and genetics . The project sits in Professor Sarah Teichmann’s group, which studies how human cells are organized, how they communicate, and how these processes shape health and disease. The lab is a major contributor to the Human Cell Atlas and is especially i...

PhD project: How TB-infected macrophages are cleared This PhD opportunity is based at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge) / Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the United Kingdom . The project is supervised by Dr Roni Levin Konigsberg and Prof Lalita Ramakrishnan . The research focuses on tuberculosis , macrophages , granulomas , and efferocytosis . Mycobacterium tuberculosis can infect macrophages, drive granuloma formation, and manipulate host cell death and clearance pathways. This projec...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, United Kingdom, focused on single-cell multi-omics , enhancer biology , and the developmental control of blood and cardiovascular fate . The project investigates how enhancer activity changes as blood, endothelial, and cardiac lineages emerge in the chick embryo. You will combine single-cell RNA-sequencing and ATAC-sequencing to reconstruct gene-regulatory networks, identify candidate enhancers, and study how hematoendothelial progenit...

Funded PhD opportunity at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, United Kingdom, on spatial and three-dimensional genome regulation during zygotic genome activation (ZGA) . This project explores how chromatin architecture, promoter-enhancer communication, boundary formation, insulation, and spatially restricted transcriptional states are coordinated as the embryonic genome becomes active. The work sits at the intersection of developmental genomics , chromatin biology , genomics ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Oxford in the Department of Paediatrics on developing a precision RNA editing platform for therapeutic applications . This funded DPhil project focuses on RNA editing , antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) , genetics , genomics , molecular biology , molecular genetics , and cell biology . The project aims to identify disease-causing mutations amenable to RNA editing, engineer ASO conjugates that target endogenous RNA editors, and test lead candidates in reporter...
