PhD in Engineering Human CYP Reporter Hepatocytes for Screening Xenobiotic Metabolism Disruption University of Edinburgh in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Edinburgh in RNA therapeutics , renal tubular cell biology , and luciferase reporter assay development . This EASTBIO/BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership project focuses on building a stable, quantitative screening platform to test RNA therapies in human renal tubular cells. The work aims to solve a key bottleneck in RNA medicine: rapidly and sensitively measuring whether an RNA therapeutic has entered the target cell and silenced its intended gene. The proje...
