PhD: Role of Plasma Membrane Deposition in the Adverse Effects of Fentanyl University of Nottingham in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Dundee in the Faculty of Life Sciences on the project EASTBIO - Uncovering the non-canonical proteolytic activity of Deubiquitinating enzymes . This discovery-driven PhD sits at the interface of biochemistry , structural biology , cell biology , biophysics , and proteomics . The project focuses on ubiquitin-deconjugating enzymes (DUBs), especially the USP family, and their newly identified non-canonical “cleave-to-modify” activity. The research aims to define...

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...

Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship in the lab of Professor Heike Laman . The project investigates how ubiquitin regulates secretory trafficking in dopaminergic neurons , with a focus on how the E3 ubiquitin ligase subunit FBXO7 controls protein movement through the secretory pathway. The research uses human stem cell-derived neurons as a model system and combines live-cell imaging , RUSH assays , proteomics , and functional experiments....

Fully funded competitive PhD studentship available in the team of Professor Aga Gambus at the University of Birmingham. The project focuses on regulation of p97 unfoldase in the context of DNA replication and ubiquitylation. The research is interdisciplinary and combines biochemistry, structural biology, and cell biology, making it a strong fit for candidates interested in DNA metabolism and protein regulation. The studentship is offered through the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Part...
