PhD in Rewiring Photosynthetic Pathways in a Purple Bacterium University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in mechanism of transcription-coupled splicing at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom , supervised by Dr Suyang Zhang . The project focuses on how RNA polymerase II and the spliceosome communicate during co-transcriptional splicing to ensure accurate gene expression in eukaryotic cells. The lab studies the molecular mechanisms coordinating transcription and pre-mRNA splicing in human cells, including direct interactions betwee...

PhD opportunity in DNA repair at stalled replication forks at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the United Kingdom . The project focuses on DNA repair , replication stress , and the Fanconi Anaemia (FA) pathway , with particular attention to how cells respond to DNA crosslinks and stalled replication forks. The research aims to understand the molecular mechanisms of crosslink repair and the role of the FANCD2-FANCI heterodimer and FA core complex in mai...

PhD opportunity at the University of Dundee in the area of gut microbiota, glycan metabolism, microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, structural biology , and bioinformatics. This EASTBIO BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership project is titled “Understanding the genetic and molecular basis of complex glycan metabolism by the human gut microbiota.” The research focuses on how beneficial gut microbes such as Bacteroides and Prevotella break down complex dietary glycans, and how...

PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute, London, United Kingdom This funded PhD project with Dr Alessandro Costa focuses on the in situ structure of the replication machinery inside a vertebrate nucleus. The project sits at the intersection of molecular biology , biochemistry , and structural biology , with a strong emphasis on DNA replication initiation, chromatin-associated replication complexes, and the structural mechanisms that control replication once per cell cycle. The research ai...

PhD opportunity in Structural Biology , Molecular Biology , Biochemistry , and Human Genetics focused on the human replisome and the mechanisms of DNA replication. The project is hosted by the Medical Research Council (Cambridge) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the United Kingdom and is supervised by Dr J Yeeles . The lab studies how the human replication machinery is assembled, how it functions during normal DNA duplication, and how it responds to obstacles such as DNA damage and protein bar...
