Understanding how anaerobic bacteria cause prostate cancer University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

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 in pathological protein assembly in neurodegenerative diseases at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, United Kingdom . The project is centered on the molecular pathology of neurodegeneration, with a focus on amyloid filament formation by disease-associated proteins such as TDP-43 , annexin A11 , and TAF15 . Two PhD project directions are described. One aims to reproduce pathological protein filament structures in vitro using protein biochemist...

Postdoctoral Research Scientist opportunity at the Babraham Institute in the United Kingdom , focused on protein metabolism , developmental timing , stem cell biology , proteomics , and related molecular biology / biochemistry approaches. The project sits in a lab studying the molecular mechanisms that control biological timing in mouse and human stem cells, with an emphasis on how protein metabolism controls developmental timing under perturbed proliferation conditions. The successful candidate...

PhD opportunity at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom on mTORC2 activation , AKT signaling , and related biochemistry , cancer biology , and molecular biology questions. The project focuses on how mTORC2 integrates activating inputs to control anabolism, survival, and cytoskeletal remodelling, with emphasis on positive feedback loops and upstream activation mechanisms. The student will help elucidate natural mechanisms of mTORC2 activation a...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Biochemistry (with Department of Pathology involvement) focused on the cell biology of Salmonella infection . The post is shared by Camilla Godlee , Assistant Professor at Cambridge, and invites interested applicants to apply for a PhD position. The project sits at the intersection of biology , medical science , microbiology , and infectious disease , with a strong emphasis on host-pathogen interactions and cellular mechanisms. ...
