BBSRC CASE PhD Studentship in Pharmacology: Defining the role of Death Associated Protein Kinase 1 in cell fate using genomic and proteomic analysis

University of Reading - School of Pharmacy

Qualification type:PhD

Location:Reading

Funding for:UK Students, EU Students

Funding amount:13,726 stipend + tuition fees

Hours:Full Time

Placed on:6th January 2015

Closes:13th March 2015

Reference:GS15-015

Supervisors: Dr Patrick Lewis, Dr Ben Whalley, Dr Anni Ahonen-Bishopp

Project Overview: Death associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1) is key regulator of cell fate in human cells, acting as a control point for autophagic cell death, and has been implicated in cancer and neurodegneration. Despite two decades of research, the molecular pathways coordinated by DAPK1 remain poorly defined.

The aim of this project is to use new advances in genomic and proteomic technology, coupled with novel insights into the enzymatic function of DAPK1, to dissect the pathways downstream of this protein. This will, in turn, help define the cellular role of this important protein and aid in the development of new drugs to modulate DAPK1.

This four year studentship, funded by an Industrial CASE award from the BBSRC, will be based partly at the University of Reading School of Pharmacy and partly at BC platforms, a leader in the field of bioinformatics. The student will use cellular and biochemical methods to characterise DAPK1, leading on to genomic and proteomic analysis of the cellular impact of modulating the enzymes activity. Bioinformatic investigation of the latter will be carried out with BC platforms, providing industry experience. During the course of the PhD, the student will have the opportunity to register for a Certificate in Business Administration at Henley Business School, part of the University of Reading.

For a recent publications on DAPK1 from the Lewis group, see http://doi.org/10.1038/srep00695 orhttp://doi.org/10.1016/j.chembiol.2014.05.010 

Eligibility: 

The student should hold a minimum of a UK Honours Degree at 2:1 level (or equivalent from other EU countries) in a relevant subject such as Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, Pharmacology or Biochemistry.

Due to restrictions on the funding this studentship is only open to candidates from the UK/EU.

Funding Details: 

October 2015 start date

Fully funded, 4 year studentship including industrial placement

Tuition fees (UK/EU) and stipend at standard Research Council rate (£13,726 per annum in 2014) included
