Postdoctoral Research Associate in Molecular and Cellular Biology of Mitochondrial Disease Models University of Cambridge in United Kingdom

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...

PhD opportunity at the University of Birmingham in the lab of Sofia Ahola , Assistant Professor in the Department of Metabolism and Systems Science. The project asks why some cells tolerate mitochondrial DNA mutations while others develop severe disease, with a focus on mitochondrial dysfunction , tissue-specific disease , and the identification of therapeutic targets . The studentship is part of the newly established MRC Centre of Research Excellence in Mitochondrial Genome Therapeutics (MitoGT...

PhD/MPhil opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences with Prof R Horvath. This project focuses on inherited neuromuscular diseases , including mitochondrial disease and other childhood-onset neurological disorders. The research aims to identify novel disease genes , understand molecular and mutational mechanisms, and develop targeted treatments for children with disabling, progressive, often fatal conditions. Research approaches include next-generation...

Research Associate in Structural Cell Biology at The Rosalind Franklin Institute (Harwell, United Kingdom). This is a postdoctoral opening focused on structural cell biology , cryo-electron tomography , in-situ structural biology , and computational reconstruction of macromolecular structures from human tissue data. The Grange group is developing tools to image the 3-dimensional organisation of macromolecular complexes within brain tissues, using fast vitrification of surgical biopsies, cryo-foc...

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...
