Other funded PhD positions

We accept students with other government funding sources such as China Scholarship Council, Commonwealth PhD funding, etc. Please get in touch for more information.

Masters by Research students

Are you interested in doing a masters in RNA biology? You can join our lab as a Masters by Research student. Masters by Research is a 2-year postgraduate degree where students conduct research during their first year and write their thesis during their second year.
Important information:
– Students only pay tution fees for 1-year (UK home fees are £5k and international fees are £25k)
– Unlike many other universities, tuition fees include £4k towards bench fees offering significant saving to students.

We have multiple research projects focusing on RNA biology, biochemistry, genetics and metabolism
RNA biology and genetics – using animals with mutations in key RNA processing and modification enzymes
RNA biochemistry, method development and therapeutics – developing new assays using nanopore sequencing
Metabolism – regulation of gene expression through dietary metabolites
Data analysis – analysis of sequencing data
