PhD Studentship: Mapping and functional interrogation of mitochondrial DNA modifications in Parkinson’s disease University of Exeter in United Kingdom

[Funding of fees plus a stipend of £21,805 per annum for 2026/7.] This is a fully funded PhD studentship at the University of Exeter focused on decoding cellular diversity in the human brain and functionally annotating neuronal subtypes across development and disease. The project addresses a major challenge in neuroscience: while single-cell RNA sequencing has revealed many excitatory and inhibitory neuronal subtypes, the regulatory mechanisms that establish and maintain these identities are sti...
