Research Fellow in Gene Regulation, Vertebrate Development, Organoids and Zebrafish University of Warwick in United Kingdom

Exciting fully funded 4-year PhD opportunity in the UK Human Functional Genomics Initiative , advertised by Professor Laura Andreae (Centre for Developmental Neurobiology, King’s College London) in collaboration with Juan Burrone and Nicholas Clifton at the University of Exeter . The project is titled Cellular phenotypes of in vivo grafted human neurons with autism risk mutations . It sits at the intersection of developmental neuroscience , functional genomics , and neurobiology , with a focus o...

PhD opportunity in enhancer biology, developmental genomics, and vertebrate evolution/disease at the Institute of Genetics and Cancer, with co-supervision from the University of Birmingham. The project, led by Shipra Bhatia and Wendy Bickmore and co-supervised by Ferenc Mueller, will investigate how enhancers control gene expression during development and how enhancer organization shapes vertebrate evolution and disease. The work focuses on the regulatory landscape of PAX6 , a master regulator o...

The BioMind Lab at the University of Cambridge is advertising two fully funded PhD opportunities focused on the brain-immune interface, functional genomics and immunogenetics. The first project, “Developing extracellular vesicle assays as molecular readouts of brain biology and drug action,” is a Cambridge Biosciences iCASE project. It offers full funding for UK and international students and includes co-supervision and collaboration with Xin-hui XIE, Richard Dear and Helen Dooner of Compass Pat...

Funded PhD project at the University of Warwick in the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership, focused on how ancient gene regulatory programmes may govern both neural and pancreatic fates throughout vertebrate evolution. The project sits at the intersection of developmental biology , genetics , cell biology , and neuroscience . It builds on comparative functional genomics work identifying highly conserved non-coding elements (HCNEs) associated with transcription factor genes invo...

[Home tuition fees plus a Doctoral Stipend for up to 4 years.] PhD Studentship at the University of Exeter in Editing the Alzheimer’s Epigenome: From Human Brain Variation to Functional Mechanisms . This studentship addresses a major question in Alzheimer’s disease research: which epigenetic changes observed in human brain actually alter gene regulation and contribute to disease biology. The project builds on cell-type-specific epigenomic datasets generated from human post-mortem brain using flu...
