PhD in Retinal Neuroscience and pH Signaling at University of Manchester and Université Côte d'Azur The University of Manchester in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in Drosophila morphogenesis, cell contractility, and developmental biology at the University of St Andrews. This EASTBIO-funded project investigates the mechanisms underlying pulsed contractions during morphogenesis, with a focus on how rhythmic cytoskeletal contractility drives apical constriction and tissue shaping in Drosophila larval epithelial cells. The project combines cell biology , genetics , and molecular biology with advanced imaging and manipulation approaches. You wi...

PhD opportunity: Epithelial Cell Fate and Plasticity at the University of Cambridge , hosted by the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and led by Dr Maria P. Alcolea . This project sits at the intersection of cell biology , developmental biology , and cancer biology . The Alcolea Group studies how epithelial progenitor cells behave in the mouse oesophagus and how squamous epithelial cell fate changes during homeostasis, injury, and preneoplastic mutation. The research aims to understand mutant clonal...

PhD opportunity in stem cells and limb regeneration at the University of Cambridge , hosted by the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and the Storer Group . The project focuses on cell biology and developmental biology , especially how mammals regenerate the digit tip and why humans can regenerate only limited tissues. The lab studies blastema formation , the transient proliferative cell mass that rebuilds the digit, and aims to uncover the cellular and molecular mechanisms that coordinate regenerati...

Funded PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick in the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership. This project, Determinants of bacteriophage host range among Salmonella serovars , focuses on bacteriophage biology, Salmonella serovars, phage therapy, and microbial host-range specificity. The research addresses an important challenge in treating Salmonella enterica , a food-borne pathogen and WHO priority pathogen, especially as antibiotic resistance increases. The student will in...

PhD opportunity in pathological protein assembly in neurodegenerative diseases at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, United Kingdom . The project is centered on the molecular pathology of neurodegeneration, with a focus on amyloid filament formation by disease-associated proteins such as TDP-43 , annexin A11 , and TAF15 . Two PhD project directions are described. One aims to reproduce pathological protein filament structures in vitro using protein biochemist...
