PhD opportunity in AMPA receptor structure and function at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the United Kingdom . This project sits at the intersection of neuroscience , molecular biology , and structural biology , focusing on how AMPA glutamate receptors (AMPA-Rs) and their auxiliary proteins shape excitatory synaptic transmission, plasticity, and information storage in the brain. The lab aims to decode AMPAR signalling complexity from atomic structure...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) , with a focus on identifying shared mechanisms and therapeutic targets across genetic and sporadic disease forms. The project will use patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) models to study vascular cell phenotypes in the neurovascular unit. The research combines cellular biology , molecular biology , functional assays , and transcriptomics/omics to un...

PhD opportunity: How the embryo gets its shape at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology, with Dr K McDole. This project focuses on cell biology , developmental biology , and molecular biology , asking how complex 3D structures arise from initially homogeneous cell populations during early mammalian development. The lab studies how tissues fold, tubes involute, organs form, and how physical forces and changing mechanical environments influence cell behavior, ge...

King’s College London is recruiting a PhD student for a project on folate supplementation for neuroprotection in glaucoma at the Wolfson SPaRC (Sensory, Pain and Regeneration Centre) in London, England. The project is led by the Tribble and Eva labs and focuses on glaucoma, one-carbon metabolism, folate biology, retinal delivery, genetic variants in folate metabolism, and personalised medicine approaches to neuroprotection. The successful candidate will investigate the mechanism of action of fol...
