PhD in Cellular Coordination of Ribosome Levels and Growth Rate in Budding Yeast University of Edinburgh in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in Drosophila morphogenesis, cell contractility, and developmental biology at the University of St Andrews. This EASTBIO-funded project investigates the mechanisms underlying pulsed contractions during morphogenesis, with a focus on how rhythmic cytoskeletal contractility drives apical constriction and tissue shaping in Drosophila larval epithelial cells. The project combines cell biology , genetics , and molecular biology with advanced imaging and manipulation approaches. You wi...

PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick in pharmacology, cell biology, molecular biology, and metabolic disease . This funded PhD project, hosted by the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership , is supervised by Dr Cathy Slack and Dr Andre Pires da Silva . The research uses Drosophila melanogaster as a genetically tractable model to study how poor diet disrupts insulin/IGF-like signalling and metabolic homeostasis, and how the pharmacological inhibitor trametinib may protect a...

Funded PhD project at the University of Cambridge , Department of Chemistry, in the Mateo Sanchez Lab . The project sits at the interface of chemistry, cell biology, neuroscience, protein engineering, synthetic biology , and molecular biotechnology. The research will focus on developing new molecular tools using directed evolution , protein design , and novel selection/screening strategies to create new protein chimeras. Depending on the candidate’s interests and project progress, the work may i...

PhD opportunity at the University of Edinburgh in Host Receptor Evolution as a Barrier to Viral Spillover , offered through the EASTBIO BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership . This project sits at the intersection of cell biology , genetics , molecular biology , and evolutionary analysis . The research aims to identify and characterise viral entry receptors and host factors that influence whether viruses can cross species barriers and cause zoonotic transmission. The student will focus on viruses ...

Coventry University’s Centre for Discoveries in Life Sciences is advertising a funded PhD project within the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP), a BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership supported by UKRI. The project is titled Decoding class B G-protein-coupled receptor structure and function for drug and focuses on G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) , calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR) , RAMPs , receptor folding and trafficking, cell-surface expression, and signall...
