Postdoctoral Research Associate in Plasmodium vivax TRAg Protein Structure and Function University of Cambridge in United Kingdom

The Deane and Rayner laboratories at the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research, University of Cambridge, are recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate for a fixed-term, full-time project in biology , medical science , structural biology, and parasite-host interaction research. The project investigates a multi-gene family expanded in Plasmodium vivax and related neglected human malaria parasites, with a focus on tryptophan-rich antigens (TRAgs) and their lipid-binding activity. The successf...

PhD project: The life cycle of ecDNA at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom . This project focuses on ecDNA (extrachromosomal DNA) in cancer, with emphasis on DNA replication , mutagenesis , replication stress , genomics , and molecular biology . The lab is interested in how ecDNA circles replicate, how stalled forks are rescued, and how ecDNA can reintegrate into the host genome to form homogenously staining regions (HSRs). The work also con...

Fully funded PhD studentship at the University of Cambridge in parasite biology and structural cell biology. The project, in Aakash Mukhopadhyay’s lab, investigates how parasites remodel their flagella and adapt these conserved cellular machines to specialised lifestyles. The work compares flagellar systems across Leishmania , Trypanosoma , and Plasmodium to understand how parasite-specific molecular innovations shape flagellar function. This interdisciplinary PhD combines AI-assisted structural...
