A number of 3 year PhD scholarships are available for domestic and/or international students to investigate mechanisms leading to neurodegeneration in Motor Neuron Disease (MND)/Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA).
The first project will involve the use of transgenic mice and zebrafish, and biochemical and cell biology approaches to probe cellular signalling pathways including protein degradation, RNA dysfunction, and cellular trafficking pathways.
