PhD in Engineering Broad-Spectrum Phage Cocktails and Synthetic Depolymerases Against Uropathogenic Escherichia coli University of Warwick in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the Radcliffe Department of Medicine, University of Oxford in Oxford, United Kingdom . This project, Mapping and Editing Gene Regulatory Networks to Develop Therapies for Genetic Disorders , focuses on genomics , human genetics , molecular genetics , functional genomics , cell biology , and genetic engineering . The research aims to understand how inherited diseases can arise from variants in regulatory DNA rather than only from mutations in protein-coding genes. The student w...

Funded PhD opportunity at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, United Kingdom, on spatial and three-dimensional genome regulation during zygotic genome activation (ZGA) . This project explores how chromatin architecture, promoter-enhancer communication, boundary formation, insulation, and spatially restricted transcriptional states are coordinated as the embryonic genome becomes active. The work sits at the intersection of developmental genomics , chromatin biology , genomics ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Oxford, Department of Biochemistry, in the laboratory of Rebecca V Berrens. This project focuses on how human genetic variation shapes transposable element silencing and epigenetic regulation. The successful candidate will explore why some transposable elements remain silent in the genome while others escape repression and potentially affect gene regulation. Research methods and themes include single-cell and long-read sequencing, specifically CELLO-seq and F...

PhD opportunity at the University of Oxford in the Radcliffe Department of Medicine on Reprogramming Human Envelope Proteins for Neuronal Genome Editing . This project focuses on neuronal genome editing , CRISPR RNP delivery , human endogenous retroviruses (hERVs) , protein engineering , genomics , and viral vector development . The aim is to discover and engineer endogenous human envelope proteins into programmable delivery modules for selective targeting of disease-relevant neuronal cell types...
