PhD in Regulatory Elements, Gene Expression Dynamics, and Mathematical Modelling MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences in United Kingdom

Funded PhD project at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, United Kingdom on reading tissue history and exposures using spatial single-cell genomics . The project is based in the newly established Tissue Biology Group and focuses on building and applying technologies that can read cellular history while preserving spatial context in intact human tissue. Research themes include spatial lineage tracing , single-cell and spatial genomics , DNA methylation , somatic mutations , ex...

PhD opportunity at The James Hutton Institute in Dundee, United Kingdom, on Decoding Dynamic Plant Meristems . The project sits at the interface of plant biology , developmental biology , molecular biology , genomics , bioinformatics , biotechnology , and computational modelling . The research focuses on the shoot apical meristem (SAM) , a dynamic population of pluripotent cells that drives aerial plant development and floral transition. The project asks how carbon availability is linked to meri...

PhD opportunity: Cross-Species determinants of stress susceptibility in PSC-derived Neural Progenitors and Spinal Motor Neurons. This funded PhD project is based at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, United Kingdom , and is part of the Babraham Institute Graduate Programme / BioSCaPe iDLA Studentship . The project is supervised by Dr Teresa Rayon and is conducted in collaboration with Axol , offering both academic and industrial research exposure. Research focus: developmental biology, stem ce...

Funded PhD opportunity at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, United Kingdom, on spatial and three-dimensional genome regulation during zygotic genome activation (ZGA) . This project explores how chromatin architecture, promoter-enhancer communication, boundary formation, insulation, and spatially restricted transcriptional states are coordinated as the embryonic genome becomes active. The work sits at the intersection of developmental genomics , chromatin biology , genomics ...

Funded PhD project at The Francis Crick Institute with Dr Margarida Cardoso Moreira in London, United Kingdom. This project asks how maternal immune systems evolved to support the placenta and tolerate genetically mismatched embryonic tissue. The research combines developmental biology , evolution , genomics , immunology , reproductive biology , and bioinformatics , with a strong emphasis on analysing large single-cell datasets. A key comparative angle is the study of pregnancy in mammals and in...
