I am recruiting four fully funded PhD students to join my lab at King’s College London from October 2026. Our group combines structural biology, biophysics and AI-driven molecular design to understand and manipulate RNA-binding proteins and RNAs.
All projects will be based in the Randall Centre for Cell & Molecular Biophysics at King’s College London, with access to state-of-the-art structural, biophysical and computational facilities, and to international synchrotron (ESRF) and NMR infrastructures. Students will join a vibrant, collaborative environment and benefit from close supervision, tailored training and strong mentoring for their future careers.
Below are the projects currently available for October 2026 entry.
multiscale RNA Networks and Pathways King’s Prize Doctoral Programme (mRNP-DP)
The overarching aim of this project is to understand how RNA molecules and RNA-binding proteins interact across different spatial and temporal scales to regulate cellular decisions, and how these networks are rewired in disease.
Eligibility & funding:
This studentship is opened to highly motivated students (UK nationals only) with strong backgrounds in biochemistry and biophysics who are keen to pursue interdisciplinary work.
Application route:
Projects will be advertised on the mRNP-DP website on 5th January (deadline 20th February).
