Research Degree Opportunity at the University of Melbourne in Australia : Therapeutic development for a neurodegenerative metabolite repair disorder caused by NAXD deficiency . This project is a PhD opportunity focused on therapeutic development , inborn errors of metabolism , neurodegenerative disease , and paediatrics . The project addresses major gaps in understanding NAXD deficiency , a febrile-induced infantile neurodegenerative disease, with emphasis on disease mechanisms, metabolic disrup...

Barrow Neurological Foundation shares news from the Hashimoto Lab at Barrow Neurological Institute about two postdoctoral fellows who recently received grants from the Barrow Aneurysm and AVM Research Center. The research topics include aneurysm rupture prevention , a potential non-surgical target for reducing rupture risk, and an age-related blood condition linked to aneurysm rupture risk. These projects sit at the intersection of neuroscience , medical science , and biology , with a strong tra...

PhD opportunity at the University of Melbourne in optimising hearing screening and early detection to improve child outcomes . This research degree project will investigate how hearing screening and early detection can be improved to support better developmental , educational , and health outcomes for children. The project is offered by the Department of Paediatrics , Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, and is located at the Royal Children’s Hospital / Murdoch Childrens Research ...

Research Degree Opportunity: PhD in Early fetal neural markers for infants with congenital heart disease using advanced MRI This opportunity is offered by the Department of Paediatrics , Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, University of Melbourne , with supervision from Prof Deanne Thompson (Principal Supervisor) and A/Prof Clare Whitehead (Internal Co-supervisor). The project investigates how fetal MRI can identify early neural markers linked to later neurodevelopmental impairme...

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...
