Funded DPhil/PhD opportunities are available in Therapeutic Genomics through the MRC Centre of Research Excellence in Therapeutic Genomics (MRC CoRE-TG), with projects at the University of Oxford and Newcastle University . Projects combine experimental and translational research and may involve molecular and cellular biology , genomic technologies , disease models , CRISPR , antisense oligonucleotides , computational analysis, and therapeutic development aimed at advancing genome-targeted therap...

Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship in the lab of Professor Heike Laman . The project investigates how ubiquitin regulates secretory trafficking in dopaminergic neurons , with a focus on how the E3 ubiquitin ligase subunit FBXO7 controls protein movement through the secretory pathway. The research uses human stem cell-derived neurons as a model system and combines live-cell imaging , RUSH assays , proteomics , and functional experiments....

PhD opportunity at Hospital del Mar Research Institute in Barcelona, Spain, focused on neuroscience , human neural circuits , and epilepsy . The project investigates the properties of human circuits using surgically resected human brain tissue . The selected PhD student will use either advanced imaging or patch-clamp electrophysiology to study how human neural circuits function and how they are altered in epilepsy patients. This is a 4-year funded predoctoral position supported by the Spanish St...

Postdoctoral opening at the University of Padova in the HSC Gene Therapy Laboratory , Istituto di Ricerca Pediatrica, Department of Women’s and Children’s Health. The project focuses on HSC gene therapy for Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency (MKD) , including development and preclinical validation of an autologous hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy approach for a rare autoinflammatory disease caused by MVK variants . Research activities include restoring MVK function in patient-derived hematopoietic...

KU Leuven in Belgium is advertising a PhD position in a research project on LINE-1 transposition , host factors , and their role in human disease. The group is internationally known for work on HIV host factors , including LEDGF/p75 and Transportin-SR2, and has extended this expertise to LINE-1, a human retrotransposon implicated in neuroinflammatory diseases . The project investigates how host factors facilitate LINE-1 transposition and aims to identify inhibitors of LINE-1 transposition in cel...
