Funded PhD project at De Montfort University (Leicester, United Kingdom) on the effect of mesenchymal stem cells-derived extracellular vesicles in the treatment of leukaemia . The project sits at the intersection of cancer biology , cell biology , microbiology , and molecular biology , with a strong translational focus on acute myeloid leukaemia . The research will characterise extracellular vesicles from healthy mesenchymal stem cells and refractory leukaemia cells, identify molecular markers a...

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 studentship at Newcastle University in cardiovascular development , focused on pharyngeal endoderm transcriptional networks regulating aortic arch artery development and malformation . The project addresses the molecular basis of congenital cardiovascular malformations , a major cause of infant morbidity and mortality. The research will combine single-nucleus RNA sequencing , spatial gene expression analysis , molecular biology, cell culture, imaging, and molecular genetics. The student will...

University of Cambridge is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Associate (Fixed Term) in the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research (CIMR), based on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus in the United Kingdom. The project investigates how ribosomes become licensed to enter the actively translating pool and how defects in this process contribute to human disease. The research combines yeast genetics , CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in mammalian cells, ribosome purification , translation assays , Ribo-seq...
