PhD Position in Cell Biology of Salmonella Infection University of Cambridge in United Kingdom

PhD project: How TB-infected macrophages are cleared This PhD opportunity is based at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge) / Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the United Kingdom . The project is supervised by Dr Roni Levin Konigsberg and Prof Lalita Ramakrishnan . The research focuses on tuberculosis , macrophages , granulomas , and efferocytosis . Mycobacterium tuberculosis can infect macrophages, drive granuloma formation, and manipulate host cell death and clearance pathways. This projec...

PhD opportunity: Golgi function in brain organoids at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology, UK. This project investigates how the Golgi apparatus organizes membrane trafficking and how Golgi proteins contribute to tissue function and neurodevelopment. The research uses brain organoids derived from stem cells to model tissue formation in vitro, with a focus on the YIPF5 protein complex and related proteins implicated in microcephaly, epilepsy, and diabetes (ME...

PhD opportunity: Epithelial Cell Fate and Plasticity at the University of Cambridge , hosted by the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and led by Dr Maria P. Alcolea . This project sits at the intersection of cell biology , developmental biology , and cancer biology . The Alcolea Group studies how epithelial progenitor cells behave in the mouse oesophagus and how squamous epithelial cell fate changes during homeostasis, injury, and preneoplastic mutation. The research aims to understand mutant clonal...

Postdoctoral Research Fellow opening in ER-phagy and ER homeostasis at the MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit. The lab of Jin Rui Liang is advertising a funded postdoctoral position to investigate how ER-phagy maintains endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis and how dysregulation of this pathway contributes to disease. This is a strong fit for candidates with interests in cell biology , autophagy , membrane trafficking, and disease mechanisms. The post is explicitly described as an M...
