PhD in Golgi Function in Brain Organoids Medical Research Council (Cambridge) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge / Cambridge Stem Cell Institute in neuroscience , stem cells , developmental biology , and cell biology . The project, “Neurotransmitter signalling to central nervous system progenitor cells,” is led by Professor Ragnhildur Thóra Káradóttir (Káradóttir Group). The research focuses on how oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) sense neuronal activity and neurotransmitter signals, decide whether to differentiate into myelin-producing oligodendrocytes ...

PhD opportunity in stem cells and limb regeneration at the University of Cambridge , hosted by the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and the Storer Group . The project focuses on cell biology and developmental biology , especially how mammals regenerate the digit tip and why humans can regenerate only limited tissues. The lab studies blastema formation , the transient proliferative cell mass that rebuilds the digit, and aims to uncover the cellular and molecular mechanisms that coordinate regenerati...

PhD opportunity in pathological protein assembly in neurodegenerative diseases at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, United Kingdom . The project is centered on the molecular pathology of neurodegeneration, with a focus on amyloid filament formation by disease-associated proteins such as TDP-43 , annexin A11 , and TAF15 . Two PhD project directions are described. One aims to reproduce pathological protein filament structures in vitro using protein biochemist...

A funded PhD opportunity is available in mitochondrial biology , intermembrane space biology , and parasitology at Lancaster University . The project is titled “Rewriting the (mitochondrial) rulebook: exploring unusual intermembrane space biology in a deadly parasite” and focuses on the unique mitochondrial biology found in trypanosomes. This is a BBSRC NorthWestBio funded PhD studentship based in Caroline Dewar’s lab at Lancaster University, with collaboration from Prof Konstantinos Tokatlidis ...

The University of Birmingham is recruiting a full-time Research Fellow in the Department of Pharmacy, School of Health Sciences, College of Medicine and Health. Based in Edgbaston, Birmingham, UK, the fixed-term Grade 7 post runs until April 2029. The Research Fellow will work on an MRC New Investigator Research Grant titled “Targeting lysine metabolism for treatment of epilepsy in tuberous sclerosis complex.” The project involves neurobiology, stem cell biology, metabolism, biochemistry, pharma...
