PhD Studentship at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Pathology on functional effects of dysregulated microRNA-mediated cellular pathways in malignant germ cell tumours . The project, led by Dr Matthew Murray , focuses on cancer biology and translational biomedical research. It builds on prior work targeting over-expressed miR-371~373 and miR-302/367 and replenishing downregulated miRNAs such as let-7 and miR-100-5p/125b-5p in malignant germ cell tumour cell lines. The new students...

PhD opportunity at Warwick Medical School for students interested in Physics , Biology , and Biophysics . The project focuses on developing artificial, cell-mimicking lipid vesicles to uncover the physical mechanisms that drive the development of zebrafish and other organisms. This is a strong fit for applicants who want to work at the interface of physical sciences and life sciences, with research themes spanning soft matter, membrane systems, developmental biology, and biomimetic models. The o...
