Funded PhD in Spatial Single-Cell Genomics, Tissue Lineage Tracing, and Exposure Screening MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at Cardiff University in the Cardiff School of Biosciences on glioblastoma stem cells , multi-omics , proteomics , protein turnover , and therapy resistance . The project asks how glioblastoma stem cells evade therapy and drive tumour recurrence, with a focus on how FGF2-FGFR1 signalling regulates protein homeostasis and how the downstream ZEB1-HECTD4 axis may control proteostasis and stemness. The work combines computational and experimental approaches, including analysis of exi...

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 opportunity at the University of Cambridge / Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute in tumour-initiating states , cancer biology , cell biology , genetics , genomics , molecular biology , molecular genetics , and related bioinformatics / epigenetics approaches. The project, supervised by Prof Masashi Narita , focuses on the biology of preneoplastic cell states and how cell identity, plasticity, chromatin organisation, and gene regulation are reshaped by oncogenic and metabolic signalling. Th...

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...

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...
