PhD in Cell-Type Specific RNA Processing Defects in Neurodegeneration University of Cambridge in United Kingdom

Postdoctoral Research Associate at Queen Mary University of London , United Kingdom. This full-time postdoctoral role sits in the Centre for Preventive Neurology within the Wolfson Institute for Population Health . The project is part of a major international research programme aimed at accelerating Parkinson's disease research, with a focus on establishing the expression and instability of short tandem repeats (STRs) in Parkinson's disease brain tissue. The successful candidate will work with a...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in preclinical human neural organoid and computational/AI model development . This project sits at the intersection of neuroscience , neural organoids , single-cell transcriptomics , spatial transcriptomics , and computational AI . The aim is to combine patient-specific iPSC-derived human neural organoids with postmortem CNS samples to build large-scale AI frameworks that can identify disease-associated cellular states, molecular biomarkers, and pot...

MRC-funded PhD studentship at the University of Exeter in an interdisciplinary project on developing blood tests for the early detection of neurodegeneration following traumatic brain injury (TBI) . The project focuses on how traumatic brain injury, including repetitive head impacts in contact sports, may trigger early molecular changes linked to later neurodegenerative disease. The research will use liquid biopsy approaches and combine cell-free DNA (cfDNA) , neuron-derived extracellular vesicl...

University of Cambridge is hiring for 2 Postdoc and 1 Research Assistant positions in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences , within an Aligning Science Across Parkinson's (ASAP) -funded project. The project focuses on Parkinson’s disease progression and aims to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying disease progression using cutting-edge spatial multi-omics approaches in human post-mortem brain tissue . This opportunity sits at the intersection of neuroscience , neuropathology , molecul...

Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship in the lab of Professor Rahul Roychoudhuri . The project investigates how regulatory T (Treg) cells control immune responses and how their antigen specificity shapes immune suppression and immune tolerance. Using TCR-transgenic mouse models , the research will directly test models of antigen-specific suppression and explore the mechanisms by which Tregs suppress conventional T cells. This is an interdi...
