PhD in Lysosomal TMEM106B in Brain Ageing and Disease Medical Research Council (Cambridge) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in protein maturation, quality control, and disease at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology with Dr R Hegde . This project sits at the intersection of cell biology , molecular biology , and structural biology . The group studies how mammalian cells produce, insert, fold, and assemble membrane proteins such as GPCRs, transporters, receptors, and ion channels, and how cells recognize and degrade unassembled “orphan” proteins to maintain cellular...

PhD opportunity in Structure-Function Analysis of Stress Signaling at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology, with supervision by Dr A Bertolotti. The lab studies stress signaling and the integrated stress response (ISR), with a strong focus on how cells protect themselves from misfolded proteins and how these pathways may be harnessed to improve resilience in disease. The project is especially relevant to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease,...

PhD opportunity in AMPA receptor structure and function at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the United Kingdom . This project sits at the intersection of neuroscience , molecular biology , and structural biology , focusing on how AMPA glutamate receptors (AMPA-Rs) and their auxiliary proteins shape excitatory synaptic transmission, plasticity, and information storage in the brain. The lab aims to decode AMPAR signalling complexity from atomic structure...
