Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of Glasgow in the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research on virome dynamics in wastewater . The project combines viral genomics , next-generation sequencing , bioinformatics , and artificial intelligence to detect and characterise WHO priority viruses and study how viral communities change across urban, rural, hospital, and airport settings. The doctoral project (DC12) is part of the EU-funded DETECTIVE MSCA Doctoral Network. Research o...

PhD opportunity at the University of Bristol within the MRC GW4 BioMed Doctoral Training Partnership on using genetics to understand early and midlife causes of cardiovascular disease . This project sits at the intersection of genetics , genetic epidemiology , Mendelian randomization , statistics , and medical science . The research asks how age- and trajectory-specific GWAS results can be used in causal inference, how interaction effects across ages or trajectories can be identified from GWAS s...

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...
