PhD Studentship: Role of non-canonical autophagy in liver lipid metabolism in response to unhealthy diets University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at Quadram Institute Bioscience in Norwich, United Kingdom, within the Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Programme (NRPDTP). The project is titled Role of non-canonical autophagy in liver lipid metabolism in response to unhealthy diets and sits at the intersection of autophagy, liver lipid metabolism, fatty liver disease, obesity, hepatocyte biology, LC3-associated phagocytosis, cell biology, molecular biology, immunology , and translational biomedical research....

PhD opportunity in immunology and molecular biology at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology. The project, supervised by Dr Patrycja Kozic, asks whether perforin-2 (Mpeg1) forms pores in two orientations and how this ancient MACPF/CDC family protein is regulated during immune responses. The research focuses on perforin-2 function in dendritic cells and macrophages, especially its roles in attacking intravacuolar pathogens and enabling cytosolic antigen deliver...

PhD project at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology with Dr F Randow on non-protein ubiquitylation in infection and physiology . This project explores how ubiquitylation extends beyond proteins to non-protein substrates such as LPS on invading bacteria and poorly branched glycogen . The research connects bacteriology , immunology , molecular biology , and selective autophagy , with implications for host defense, biomolecular quality control, and disease-relev...
