PhD in DNA Repair at Stalled Replication Forks Medical Research Council (Cambridge) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in Structural Biology , Molecular Biology , Biochemistry , and Human Genetics focused on the human replisome and the mechanisms of DNA replication. The project is hosted by the Medical Research Council (Cambridge) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the United Kingdom and is supervised by Dr J Yeeles . The lab studies how the human replication machinery is assembled, how it functions during normal DNA duplication, and how it responds to obstacles such as DNA damage and protein bar...

PhD opportunity at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom on mTORC2 activation , AKT signaling , and related biochemistry , cancer biology , and molecular biology questions. The project focuses on how mTORC2 integrates activating inputs to control anabolism, survival, and cytoskeletal remodelling, with emphasis on positive feedback loops and upstream activation mechanisms. The student will help elucidate natural mechanisms of mTORC2 activation a...

PhD opportunity in mechanism of transcription-coupled splicing at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom , supervised by Dr Suyang Zhang . The project focuses on how RNA polymerase II and the spliceosome communicate during co-transcriptional splicing to ensure accurate gene expression in eukaryotic cells. The lab studies the molecular mechanisms coordinating transcription and pre-mRNA splicing in human cells, including direct interactions betwee...

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Molecular Mechanisms of Transcription-Replication Conflicts at the University of Oxford , Department of Biochemistry, Oxford, England. This funded postdoctoral opportunity is in the Jones Lab and focuses on how DNA replication and transcription machinery interact, with an emphasis on the molecular mechanisms that protect genome integrity . The project uses biochemical and structural biology approaches, and the role includes independent research, experimental de...

PhD opportunity at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom on structural and cellular approaches to understand microtubule motors . This project sits at the intersection of cell biology , molecular biology , and structural biology , with a strong focus on microtubule motors such as dynein and kinesin . The research asks how motors are linked to cargos and coordinated to deliver organelles, RNAs, and proteins to the correct destination, especially...
