[Full tuition fees plus a stipend of £21,805 per annum for 2026/7.] PhD studentship at the University of Exeter on developing a new variant effect predictor for multiple missense variants in the same protein molecule. This EPSRC-funded project tackles an important challenge in clinical genomics: most variant interpretation tools assess missense changes one at a time, even though many patients carry multiple variants in the same gene or protein. The project will develop and validate a new computa...

The University of Birmingham is offering a PhD studentship in metagenomic insights into respiratory microbiome dynamics across the disease severity spectrum. Based in Birmingham, United Kingdom, the project investigates how bacterial, viral, and fungal communities change from respiratory symptoms presenting in emergency care to severe pneumonia requiring intensive care. The research will use large-scale metagenomic sequencing data and advanced computational biology methods for microbial profilin...
