Master by Research / PhD in lipid- and mRNA-based therapies for Friedreich ataxia heart disease University of Melbourne in Australia

Felipe Court, Director of the Center for Aging Research and Healthy Longevity at Universidad Mayor (Santiago, Chile), is advertising 3 research positions in the Court Lab for an international project running 3–5 years . The project focuses on translational neuromuscular regeneration with hands-on work using rodent models of nerve injury and repair . The team will collaborate with partner labs in the United States, making this a strong opportunity for candidates interested in aging research, rege...

PhD opportunity at the University of Melbourne on A population reference resource to decode repeat expansion disorders . This research degree project focuses on repeat expansion disorders , including Huntington disease , fragile X syndrome , and hereditary cerebellar ataxias . The project addresses a key challenge in clinical genetics: determining the normal range of DNA repeat sizes in healthy populations so that disease-causing thresholds can be interpreted more accurately. The opportunity is ...

Research Degree Opportunity at the University of Melbourne in modelling diabetic heart disease using human cardiac microtissues . This project investigates diabetic cardiomyopathy , a condition where diabetes increases the risk of heart failure through chronic metabolic stress. The research uses human iPSC-derived multicellular cardiac microtissues to study cellular and molecular pathways involved in cardiac dysfunction under diabetic-like conditions such as hyperglycaemia and lipotoxic stress. ...

University of Queensland is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Neuroscience at the Queensland Brain Institute , based at the St Lucia Campus, Australia . The project focuses on novel monoclonal antibody therapies for Alzheimer’s disease , with work on tau-targeting antibodies , neurodegeneration, and translational neuroscience. The role is research-intensive and includes designing and conducting in vitro and in vivo studies, including mouse models, analysing data, preparing manuscript...

Funded PhD project at the University of Bristol in the School of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences on GPCR signalling, proteostasis, receptor trafficking, and neuropsychiatric genetics . The project, supervised by Dr Adam Grieve and Prof I Collinson , investigates how disease-associated variants in G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) alter receptor folding, intracellular trafficking, turnover, and signalling in neuronal systems. It combines molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, funct...
