About this position

PhD opening at the National University of Singapore in the research group of Associate Professor Long Nguyen.

The project is centered on nutrient transporters in the brain, with a strong focus on the blood-brain barrier, brain development, and brain diseases. The lab studies how small molecules are delivered to different cell types and organs, including the roles of lipid transporters, nutritional transporters, and lysosomal transport pathways.

Research themes highlighted in the lab include sphingosine-1-phosphate transport and signaling, nutrient transporters at the blood-brain barrier, and lysosomal membrane transporters. The group uses gene-knockout mouse models, molecular and cell biology, biochemical assays, lipidomics, and metabolite analysis to understand transporter function and disease mechanisms.

This opportunity is for the January 2027 PhD intake. The post does not mention funding details, tuition support, or formal test waivers. Interested candidates should contact the lab directly by email and review the research page for more information.
