About this position

Funded PhD opportunity at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS), London, United Kingdom.

This project, supervised by Dr Chi Kin Wong and Dr Will Scott, investigates the long-term effects of GLP-1 medicines on immunometabolic fitness. The research asks how GLP-1 receptor signalling influences chronic inflammation, immune function, and metabolic stress beyond its established effects on weight loss and glucose control.

The project will use mouse models, diverse transgenic approaches, and clinically relevant obesity therapeutics, combined with physiological, cellular, and molecular methods. Key themes include neuroscience, immunology, metabolic physiology, tissue and cell biology, and multi-omics. Students will explore whether GLP-1 medicines act through brain-immune communication, peripheral neural pathways, direct effects on immune cells, or a combination of these mechanisms.

This is a funded PhD project open to students worldwide. Funding covers all tuition fees and provides a tax-free stipend of £26,500 per year paid in monthly instalments. The funding is available for both Home and Overseas students.

To apply, follow the LMS studentships application instructions and submit the official application form on the LMS website. The FindAPhD “register your interest” option is not an application.

Research keywords: GLP-1 medicines, immunometabolic fitness, obesity, inflammation, neuroscience, immunology, pharmacology, physiology, endocrinology.
