PhD Studentship in Blood Tests for Early Detection of Neurodegeneration After Traumatic Brain Injury University of Exeter in United Kingdom

[Home tuition fees plus a Doctoral Stipend for up to 4 years.] PhD Studentship at the University of Exeter in Editing the Alzheimer’s Epigenome: From Human Brain Variation to Functional Mechanisms . This studentship addresses a major question in Alzheimer’s disease research: which epigenetic changes observed in human brain actually alter gene regulation and contribute to disease biology. The project builds on cell-type-specific epigenomic datasets generated from human post-mortem brain using flu...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in cell-type specific RNA processing defects in neurodegeneration . This project, hosted by the Department of Clinical Neurosciences and linked to the Ryten Lab , focuses on how RNA processing changes in vulnerable brain cell populations contribute to neurodegenerative disease. The research is centered on Parkinson’s disease , Lewy body dementia , and Alzheimer’s disease , with emphasis on RNA splicing , transcript isoform use , RNA editing , and 3′...

This postdoctoral position is based at the CNRS in Paris within the Institut Curie research center , UMR3244, in the group Chromosomes sexuels, Développement et Pathologies led by Dr. Claire Rougeulle . The project is focused on finalising a research programme on the regulation of X chromosome gene expression during human brain development . The appointed researcher will contribute to a multidisciplinary study combining molecular, cellular, and computational approaches. The core research activit...

PhD opportunity in Oxford on RNA dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease, offered through the UK Human Functional Genomics Initiative FGx-DLA programme. The project, titled “One gene, many transcripts: decoding RNA dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease using single-cell ‘omics, CRISPR, and stem cell models” , combines single-cell genomics, bioinformatics, CRISPR-based experiments, and stem cell models to investigate how genetic variation shapes RNA regulation in disease-relevant cell types and how these...

PhD Studentship at the University of Oxford in Oxford, England , focused on the double life of E. coli as a benign commensal and a deadly pathogen. The project is part of the COHORT-Microbiome study, in collaboration with the Oxford Vaccine Group and the Ellison Institute of Technology . It is led within a team associated with Prof Susanna Dunachie and aims to understand how E. coli strains colonise and persist in the gut, and how this relates to future invasive infection risk. The student will ...
