PhD Opportunities in Cell Biology in France

A 3-year PhD position is available at the Institute for Research on Cancer and Aging of Nice (IRCAN), within the Université Côte d’Azur / CNRS / Inserm environment and the IHU RespirERA structure in Nice, France. The project, supervised by Dr Patrick Brest, focuses on antigen–RNA complexes and how they may overcome immune tolerance in cancer vaccination. Therapeutic vaccination against established cancers is often limited by tolerance to self antigens, and this PhD will investigate how protein a...

Fully funded 3-year PhD position in the team of Mathilde Guzzo at MMSB (Molecular Microbiology and Structural Biochemistry), CNRS / Université Lyon I. The project focuses on molecular microbiology , bacterial genetics , signal transduction , biochemistry , and cell biology . Using Caulobacter crescentus as a model organism, the research will investigate how bacteria regulate growth in response to environmental changes and uncover molecular mechanisms of bacterial adaptation. Ideal candidates sho...

Call for a PhD opportunity in cardiac metabolism and epigenetics under the MSCA COFUND BEST doctoral programme . The proposed project is hosted at the University of Toulouse – I2MC (Inserm UMR1297) and is supervised by Caroline Conte , in collaboration with Marion Laudette (University of Gothenburg, Sweden). Research topic: Epigenetic mechanisms at the interface between metabolism and cardiac dysfunction. The project aims to understand how cardiac metabolism, epigenetic regulation, and gene expr...

PhD thesis opportunity at Institut Curie, Paris in the Baffet lab, located in the Department of Cell Biology (UMR144). The project focuses on human neural stem cell lineages and the mechanisms that generate neuronal and glial diversity in the developing human neocortex. The student will investigate how radial glial cells make fate decisions across cortical regions using a combination of human fetal tissue , regionalized cortical organoids , live/fixed correlative imaging, immunostaining, and sin...
