PhD in Molecular Characterisation of the Protein S-Acylation Machinery Coventry University in United Kingdom

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....

Funded PhD project in telomere biology , cancer biology , peptide design , protein biochemistry , molecular biology , cell biology , and synthetic/pharmaceutical chemistry at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences and Imperial College London in London, United Kingdom . The project asks how cells replicate chromosome ends while preserving telomere protection. You will study the shelterin complex, TRF2 interactions, and the origin recognition complex (ORC), with a focus on how disrupting these int...

📢 The MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) is inviting prospective PhD students to explore its doctoral opportunities in molecular biology and related biological sciences. Applications are now open for October 2027 entry. The post does not specify funding, supervisor names, or detailed eligibility criteria, but it clearly targets PhD applicants interested in research training at a leading molecular biology institute. Interested candidates should review the linked opportunity page for the fu...

PhD opportunity: Investigating CDK control of the eukaryotic cell cycle at The Francis Crick Institute in London, United Kingdom. This funded PhD project is with Dr P Nurse and focuses on how cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) regulate the eukaryotic cell cycle. The project uses fission yeast as a model system to study how CDK activity rises through the cell cycle, how it coordinates S-phase and mitosis, how it is linked to cell growth, and how phosphorylation timing and substrate specificity are c...

PhD opportunity at the University of Dundee in the Faculty of Life Sciences on the project EASTBIO - Uncovering the non-canonical proteolytic activity of Deubiquitinating enzymes . This discovery-driven PhD sits at the interface of biochemistry , structural biology , cell biology , biophysics , and proteomics . The project focuses on ubiquitin-deconjugating enzymes (DUBs), especially the USP family, and their newly identified non-canonical “cleave-to-modify” activity. The research aims to define...
