PhD Opportunity | African Trypanosomes | University of York
Multidisciplinary PhD opportunity in the fields of
infectious diseases, gene regulations and molecular signalisation.Fully Funded 4-Year PhD at the University of York
A fully funded PhD opportunity is available at the University of York through the Medical Research Council (MRC) DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP).
This multidisciplinary project brings together the fields of infectious diseases, gene regulation, and molecular signalisation.Research Focus
Join the University of York to investigate the biology of African Trypanosomes (Trypanosoma brucei) — parasites responsible for Sleeping Sickness and Nagana, which together cost the global economy more than $4.5 billion each year.
This project sits at the intersection of molecular biology and infection research.
T. brucei depends heavily on post-transcriptional gene regulation for its survival and life cycle progression, as it lacks extensive transcriptional control.Project Goal
You will use cutting-edge technology to study the diversity, architecture, and regulation of biomolecular condensates, essential membraneless organelles.
Recent findings suggest that these condensates play a key role in the parasite’s adaptability and transmission to diverse hosts.Why Apply
