PhD in Host–Microbiome Interactions in Cardiorenal and Metabolic Diseases at Imperial College London Imperial College London in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Dundee in the area of cell biology , biochemistry , biophysics , genetics , and molecular biology . The project, supervised by Prof Tomo Tanaka , investigates how cells achieve correct chromosome biorientation during mitosis by regulating kinetochore-microtubule interactions . The work focuses on the outer kinetochore complexes Ndc80 and Dam1 , the role of Aurora B kinase in error correction, and how mechanical tension stabilises proper chromosome segregation...

The programme is research-focused and highlights strengths in genetics , molecular biology , biochemistry , cell biology , and especially computational biology . This is a postgraduate research programme with both PhD and MScR routes. Study options include full-time and part-time modes, with multiple start dates. T...

PhD opportunity in plant chemical defence, single-cell biology, genomics, and metabolomics at The Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich, United Kingdom, working with the Osbourn group at the John Innes Centre . This project asks where plants make their medicine: how different cells in infected leaves activate distinct chemical defence pathways, how those cell states are organised around infection sites, and how this organisation may reveal new biosynthetic pathways. The research combines plant biology...

Funded PhD project at The Francis Crick Institute in collaboration with King's College London on quiescence-associated metabolic programmes in two related yeasts, Schizosaccharomyces japonicus and S. pombe . The project is supervised by Prof Jürg Bähler and Dr S Oliferenko and sits at the intersection of cell biology , genetics , genomics , microbiology , molecular biology , and bioinformatics . The research asks how cells enter and maintain quiescence, how metabolic flexibility shapes survival ...

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...
