PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge / Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute in tumour-initiating states , cancer biology , cell biology , genetics , genomics , molecular biology , molecular genetics , and related bioinformatics / epigenetics approaches. The project, supervised by Prof Masashi Narita , focuses on the biology of preneoplastic cell states and how cell identity, plasticity, chromatin organisation, and gene regulation are reshaped by oncogenic and metabolic signalling. Th...

PhD opportunity at the University of Oxford in the Department of Paediatrics on developing a precision RNA editing platform for therapeutic applications . This funded DPhil project focuses on RNA editing , antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) , genetics , genomics , molecular biology , molecular genetics , and cell biology . The project aims to identify disease-causing mutations amenable to RNA editing, engineer ASO conjugates that target endogenous RNA editors, and test lead candidates in reporter...

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...
