PhD student opportunity for Chinese Nationals in the UK: Decoding the Secrets of Ageing through RNA Modifications University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at Cardiff University / Cardiff School of Medicine on UPF3B, DNA repair, autism, ADHD, neurodevelopmental disorders, genetics, biochemistry, genomics, neuroscience, and bioinformatics . This funded project investigates how mutations in UPF3B , a gene linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, may impair DNA repair in neurons. The research uses CRISPR gene-editing , biochemical assays, nanopore DNA sequencing , and stem cell-derived neurons to uncover a novel mechanism connecting gen...

Funded PhD opportunity at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, United Kingdom, on spatial and three-dimensional genome regulation during zygotic genome activation (ZGA) . This project explores how chromatin architecture, promoter-enhancer communication, boundary formation, insulation, and spatially restricted transcriptional states are coordinated as the embryonic genome becomes active. The work sits at the intersection of developmental genomics , chromatin biology , genomics ...

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....

PhD opportunity: Cross-Species determinants of stress susceptibility in PSC-derived Neural Progenitors and Spinal Motor Neurons. This funded PhD project is based at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, United Kingdom , and is part of the Babraham Institute Graduate Programme / BioSCaPe iDLA Studentship . The project is supervised by Dr Teresa Rayon and is conducted in collaboration with Axol , offering both academic and industrial research exposure. Research focus: developmental biology, stem ce...

PhD Studentship in the Biochemistry and Chemical Biology of the Genome and Epigenome at the University of Cambridge , Department of Chemistry. This funded PhD project is offered in Professor Sir Shankar Balasubramanian’s group and focuses on biochemistry , chemical biology , genomics , molecular biology , biophysics , and structural biology . The research explores fundamental mechanisms of genome function, with a strong emphasis on DNA secondary structures such as G-quadruplexes (G4s) , chromati...
