PhD position in the EU Doctoral Network PANDORA at the Institute for Ophthalmic Research, University of Tübingen, Germany . The project focuses on age-related macular degeneration (AMD) , with emphasis on factor H-related proteins (FHRs) , extracellular matrix (ECM) stability, endothelial cell homeostasis, choroidal endothelial cells, retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, complement biology, retinal degeneration, and translational biomedical research. The successful candidate will build recomb...

Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship in the lab of Professor Heike Laman . The project investigates how ubiquitin regulates secretory trafficking in dopaminergic neurons , with a focus on how the E3 ubiquitin ligase subunit FBXO7 controls protein movement through the secretory pathway. The research uses human stem cell-derived neurons as a model system and combines live-cell imaging , RUSH assays , proteomics , and functional experiments....
