PhD/MPhil in Development of PET Radiotracers for Neurodegeneration University of Cambridge in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on programmed axon death , SARM1 , NMNAT2 , and protein design . The project focuses on understanding the mechanism of programmed axon death, an intrinsic axonal death pathway implicated in neurodegenerative disease and injury. The work will use rational protein design to create variant forms of SARM1 or hybrid reporter constructs to study activation, stability, enzyme activity, and post-translational modi...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on retrograde mitochondrial signalling, epigenetic reprogramming, glial toxicity, and neuroinflammation in progressive multiple sclerosis . The project focuses on how mitochondrial dysfunction and mitochondrial stress trigger nuclear signalling and epigenetic changes that may drive astrocytes toward a dysfunctional disease-associated radial glia-like (DARG) phenotype. The work is strongly research-oriented...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on Fluid Biomarkers of Inflammation in Frontotemporal Dementia . This project focuses on neuroscience , neurology , neuroinflammation , frontotemporal dementia , and related neurodegenerative disorders, with additional relevance to Alzheimer’s disease , biomarkers , proteomics , neuroimaging , and clinical data analysis. The research aims to characterise inflammation signatures in blood and CSF from people...

PhD opportunity in Psychiatric Nutrigenomics focused on gene–diet interaction, FADS2, and psychiatric risk. This fully funded doctoral project is offered through the GW4 BioMed MRC Doctoral Training Partnership and is part of an interdisciplinary supervisory team across Cardiff University , University of Exeter , University of Bath , and collaborators at Maastricht University . The research asks how genetic variation and dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) interact at the molecular and c...
