8. <\/strong><\/span>Fully Funded PhD Position in RNA Stability in Mammalian Development<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Early mammalian development is underpinned by a series of cell state transitions as multiple lineages form with distinct transcriptional programmes. There is accumulating evidence that post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms play a key role in these developmental transitions. Currently this is an understudied facet of developmental biology, but several publications have reported embryonic lethality with an embryonic or placental phenotype in mice where an RNA binding protein or decay factor has been knocked out. However, detailed phenotyping and in-depth molecular analysis is lacking in most of these examples.<\/span><\/p>\n

11. <\/strong><\/span>Fully Funded PhD Position in Mapping DNA damage and genome replication in malaria parasites with artificial intelligence and long-read sequencing<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Applications are invited for a fully-funded 4-year PhD studentship based in the Department of Pathology at the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Dr Michael Boemo starting October 2025. Malaria parasites replicate their genomes very differently to human cells, making genome replication an attractive therapeutic target for antimalarial drugs. The purpose of this research is to develop artificial intelligence software that leverages the power of long-read DNA sequencing to determine the genomic loci of DNA damage caused by these drugs and how this damage changes the movement of replication forks throughout the genome.<\/span><\/p>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Applications are invited for a fully-funded 4-year PhD studentship based in the Department of Pathology at the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Julia Kenyon starting October 2025. HIV-1 has a compact genome containing multiple, often overlapping, RNA structures that it uses to control its lifecycle. Such structures and structural switches have been shown to be effective antiviral drug targets. This project will use cutting-edge techniques such as Nanopore direct RNA sequencing, SHAPE and in-gel SHAPE, to identify and model important RNA structures used by the virus during different phases of the lifecycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Applications are invited for a fully-funded 4-year PhD studentship based in the Department of Pathology at the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Dr Andrew Blagborough starting October 2025. Malaria, caused by Plasmodium parasites and transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes, remains a devastating infectious disease. Within the mosquito, the malaria parasite undergoes a complex and delicate lifecycle that can be successfully targeted using transmission blocking vaccines (TBVs). The most promising lifecycle stages to target with TBVs is the parasitic ookinete, a motile zygote that is essential for transmission.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

This exciting project will focus on addressing two fundamental challenges in physics-enhanced machine learning strategies for Digital Twins development: (i) develop Machine Learning models that can be trained with multi-modal data, i.e. simulation and measurement data that embody different fidelities and uncertainties. (ii) account for non-linearities that are common in many engineering systems. During this project you will carry out dynamic tests on a laboratory setup in a newly created integrated laboratory space, process data and develop advanced physics-enhanced machine learning techniques for the effective combination of simulated and real-world sensor data, especially in handling non-linear dynamical systems.<\/span><\/p>\n
