GlaxoSmithKline-funded PhD studentship in Immune Ageing at the University of Cambridge University of Cambridge in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in DNA replication origins, genome language models, and synthetic biology at the Earlham Institute, Norwich, United Kingdom. This interdisciplinary project explores how DNA replication origins are encoded and regulated in genomes, and how artificial intelligence can be used to design new genetic elements that control replication. The work combines computational biology, genomics, synthetic biology, machine learning, genome engineering, CRISPR-based genome editing, next-generation...

The University of Birmingham in Birmingham, United Kingdom, is advertising a PhD studentship on machine learning for plasmid risk assessment and genomic surveillance, with a focus on respiratory disease and the microbiome. The project will analyse large-scale metagenomic sequencing data from patients across the respiratory disease severity spectrum, including people presenting with respiratory symptoms in emergency care and patients with severe pneumonia in intensive care. Researchers will chara...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of Birmingham within the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP) , a BBSRC-funded doctoral training partnership. The project is titled “A multi-omics approach to characterise brain-specific biological ageing” and is supervised by Archana Sharma-Oates in collaboration with Vinton Cheng . The research focuses on how the brain ages differently from the rest of the body, using multi-omics data integration , genomic data analysis , ...

The University of Birmingham is offering a full-time PhD studentship in the School of Biosciences investigating drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis using national genomic surveillance data and advanced machine learning. This joint project with the UK Health Security Agency will analyse a national collection of drug-susceptible and drug-resistant M. tuberculosis genomes from England, together with enhanced surveillance records and epidemiological data. The research will characterise res...
