PhD in Type VII ABC Transporters and Bacterial Cell Envelope Biology University of Warwick in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in protein maturation, quality control, and disease at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology with Dr R Hegde . This project sits at the intersection of cell biology , molecular biology , and structural biology . The group studies how mammalian cells produce, insert, fold, and assemble membrane proteins such as GPCRs, transporters, receptors, and ion channels, and how cells recognize and degrade unassembled “orphan” proteins to maintain cellular...

🧬 PhD opportunity at the University of Leicester in microbial genomics , bacterial evolution , and antimicrobial resistance . This BBSRC MIBTP PhD project explores bacterial evolution and antimicrobial resistance using genomic and evolutionary approaches . It is a strong fit for students interested in microbiology, genomics, evolution, and computational/analytical approaches to biological data. Supervisor/announcer: Dr Sandra Beleza, Lecturer in the Department of Genetics, University of Leiceste...

PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute with Dr Peter Rosenthal on cryomicroscopy of lipid-enveloped virus entry and assembly . The project sits at the intersection of structural biology , virology , cell biology , and biophysics , with a strong emphasis on cryo-EM , cryo-ET , and related imaging/computational methods. The research aims to directly image key steps in infection by lipid-enveloped viruses such as influenza and retroviruses . Topics include virus entry, receptor binding, mem...

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...
