Research Interests
We are looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic students to embark on a PhD project that addresses questions in the fields of messenger (m)RNA localisation and local translation in the context of angiogenesis. Your work will help to answer how and why particular mRNAs are translated into proteins at the front of endothelial cells as they migrate to form new blood vessels. Your project will be carried out in an exciting and collaborative environment at the Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine, where you will work next to worldwide experts in the field of vascular research.
Current Research Opportunities
