Funded PhD in Host Receptor Evolution and Viral Spillover University of Edinburgh in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the Radcliffe Department of Medicine, University of Oxford in Oxford, United Kingdom . This project, Mapping and Editing Gene Regulatory Networks to Develop Therapies for Genetic Disorders , focuses on genomics , human genetics , molecular genetics , functional genomics , cell biology , and genetic engineering . The research aims to understand how inherited diseases can arise from variants in regulatory DNA rather than only from mutations in protein-coding genes. The student w...

Imperial College London is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Bioengineering , Faculty of Engineering, to join the Ballester group on an AI-driven project in antifungal drug discovery . The role focuses on building an integrated functional genomics and chemoproteomic platform to improve therapies against the fungal pathogen Candida auris . The successful candidate will develop AI models to predict whole-cell antifungal activity across ultra-large synthesis-on-dema...

PhD opportunity at the University of Edinburgh in Host Receptor Evolution as a Barrier to Viral Spillover , offered through the EASTBIO BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership . This project sits at the intersection of cell biology , genetics , molecular biology , and evolutionary analysis . The research aims to identify and characterise viral entry receptors and host factors that influence whether viruses can cross species barriers and cause zoonotic transmission. The student will focus on viruses ...

PhD opportunity at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS), London, United Kingdom This funded PhD project, “Mutate, model, predict: uncovering how regulatory elements encode gene expression dynamics,” brings together developmental biology, genomics, human genetics, bioinformatics, statistics, and mathematical modelling. The project asks how non-coding cis-regulatory elements control when, where, and how strongly genes are expressed during development. You will work across three complementa...
