PhD Studentship: How Neurons Shape Astrocytes: Decoding Cell-to-Cell Communication in Brain Development University of Exeter in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at Cardiff University in placental function, fetal programming, transcriptomics, imaging, and bioinformatics , with a focus on Prader–Willi syndrome and how placental abnormalities may alter development of the fetal brain. This interdisciplinary project is based at Cardiff School of Medicine and is designed to give the successful student hands-on experience in preclinical lab-based methods , bioinformatic analysis , and data handling . The topic sits at the intersection of medica...

PhD Studentship: Multiomic Insights into Mitochondrial Disease at Newcastle University . This fully funded PhD project sits within the LifeArc Centre for Rare Mitochondrial Diseases and the Newcastle Mitochondrial Research Group. The project will use single-cell proteomic and genomic technologies to study mitochondrial disease mechanisms, clinical heterogeneity, tissue vulnerability, mtDNA variant levels, and molecular pathways that may serve as biomarkers or therapeutic targets. Research intere...

Postdoctoral Researcher opportunity at the University of Oxford focused on Parkinson’s disease , innate immune pathways , iPSC models , co-cultures , and high-content imaging . This is a research-intensive postdoctoral opening for candidates with strong interests in neurodegeneration, cellular disease modeling, and inflammatory mechanisms. The post highlights work on Parkinson’s inflammation models and suggests a translational, lab-based project using advanced imaging and stem-cell-derived syste...

PhD opportunity in astrocyte biology and molecular neuroscience at Cardiff University This funded PhD project, titled Silent Architects: Uncovering How Astrocytes Shape Brain Health , is based at Cardiff University, Cardiff School of Medicine, in the United Kingdom. The project investigates how astrocytes regulate brain function, including neuronal activity, metabolism, extracellular matrix organisation, and resilience to disease. The research will focus on novel astrocyte-enriched genes and sig...

PhD position in the Artegiani & Hendriks group at the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology in Utrecht, the Netherlands. This doctoral opening focuses on the use and development of human brain organoids to study mechanisms of human brain development and disease, and to understand how developmental processes relate to brain disorders. The project sits within the EU-funded Marie Curie doctoral network VISI-ON-BRAIN, which aims to develop advanced human in vitro and in silico biomedical too...
