Taming the Hippo – revealing fundamental insights into the cellular aging process

Supervisors: Dr Carsten Gram HansenDr Paul Andrews

Project Description:

The general population is aging and to improve life-quality during the full life-course, a fundamental understanding of the underlying mechanism that controls normal physiology and homeostasis across the lifespan is needed. So far how this is achieved and regulated at the cellular level is poorly understood.

Bovine enteroids (‘mini-guts’) as novel systems to analyse host-pathogen interactions in the intestine

SupervisorsLiam MorrisonNeil Mabbott

Project description:

We seek an enthusiastic student with experience in cell biology or immunology for an exciting four year Ph.D. studentship which aims to use bovine enteroid (‘mini-guts’) cultures as novel systems to analyse host-pathogen interactions in the intestine.
