PhD opportunity in immunology and molecular biology at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology. The project, supervised by Dr Patrycja Kozic, asks whether perforin-2 (Mpeg1) forms pores in two orientations and how this ancient MACPF/CDC family protein is regulated during immune responses. The research focuses on perforin-2 function in dendritic cells and macrophages, especially its roles in attacking intravacuolar pathogens and enabling cytosolic antigen deliver...

About this position

New PhD opportunity in the University of Glasgow lab of Carmen Huesa as part of the NorthWest Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership.

The project will investigate how mechanical stimulation regulates mature osteoblasts, with the broader aim of developing low-cost strategies to improve bone and joint health. This is a strong fit for students interested in bone biology, mechanotransduction, biomedical engineering, and molecular biology.

Training and research experience will span bioreactor design, cellular biomechanics, tissue culture, microscopy, gene expression analysis, and bioinformatics. The project is especially relevant for applicants who want interdisciplinary training at the interface of engineering and life sciences, with translational relevance to animal and human health.

This is a PhD opening. The post does not specify a deadline or detailed funding/stipend information in the text, but it does direct applicants to the project page for full details and application instructions.
