PhD in Retrograde Mitochondrial Signalling, Epigenetic Reprogramming, and Neuroinflammation in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis University of Cambridge in United Kingdom

We are hiring a Postdoc Research Associate at the University of Cambridge in the Pluchino lab / Centre for Myelin Repair . The project focuses on progressive multiple sclerosis , patient iPSC/iNSC models , functional genomics , and glial biology . This is a strong opportunity for researchers interested in neuroscience , medical science , and regenerative neuroimmunology. The post is a postdoctoral opening, and the announcement indicates a fixed-term research associate role. No scholarship or stu...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on Mitochondrial Genetic Determinants of Multiple Sclerosis . This project investigates how mitochondrial genetic variants influence the outcome of multiple sclerosis (MS) . The research builds on prior genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that have identified more than 200 autosomal variants associated with MS, while extending the analysis to the mitochondrial genome. Using a dedicated mitochondrial var...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on neuroinflammatory mediators in the pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) . The project investigates how maladaptive inflammation contributes to TBI and aims to identify mechanisms leading to brain swelling, raised intracranial pressure, and neuronal injury . The research integrates protein assays in biological fluids , neuro-intensive care monitoring , and patient outcomes , making it a strong...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge / Cambridge Stem Cell Institute in neuroscience , stem cells , developmental biology , and cell biology . The project, “Neurotransmitter signalling to central nervous system progenitor cells,” is led by Professor Ragnhildur Thóra Káradóttir (Káradóttir Group). The research focuses on how oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) sense neuronal activity and neurotransmitter signals, decide whether to differentiate into myelin-producing oligodendrocytes ...

Research Associate position at the University of Cambridge in a collaborative project across the labs of Professor Clémence Blouet and Professor Ragnhildur Thóra Káradóttir. The project sits at the interface of neuroscience and metabolic science , focusing on oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, remyelination, and brain repair in progressive multiple sclerosis. The work will test whether targeting incretin receptor agonists can promote remyelination and support repair in neurodegenerative disease. ...
