PhD in Proteome Interaction Networks, Mass Spectrometry and Machine Learning University of Dundee in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in AI-Guided Discovery of Immunotherapy Resistance Mechanisms . This funded project sits in the Faculty of Medicine and combines cancer biology , immunology , bioinformatics , machine learning , and single-cell RNA sequencing . The research aims to understand why anti-cancer immune cells lose effectiveness inside tumours, with a focus on T-cell exhaustion , the tumour micro-environment , and resistance to therapies such as CAR-T . The student will...

PhD opportunity at Durham University in AI protein design, structural biology, plant immunity, and bioinformatics . This fully funded four-year Gatsby Sainsbury PhD project in the Department of Biosciences and the Centre for Programmable Biological Matter (CPBM) aims to design synthetic plant immune receptors from first principles. The project combines generative protein design (including RFdiffusion, ProteinMPNN, and BindCraft), structural bioinformatics, structural biology, and plant functiona...

PhD opportunity at the University of Dundee in post-transcriptional control of the segmentation clock and somitogenesis . This project sits at the intersection of developmental biology , molecular biology , cell biology , biochemistry , and bioinformatics . The research investigates how RNA-binding proteins and microRNAs regulate clock gene expression during early embryogenesis, with a focus on the segmentation clock, somite formation, and disease relevance such as congenital scoliosis and T-cel...

PhD opportunity at King’s College London in the Randall Centre for Cell & Molecular Biophysics on molecular mechanisms of RNA–protein interactions and their dysregulation in human disease . This project focuses on how RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) recognize structured RNA elements, how their conformations are remodeled, and how post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation regulate translation and complex assembly. The research combines structural biology , biophysics , RNA biochemistry...

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...
