Cell Biology is a branch of biology that concentrates on understanding cell physiology, structure and behaviour. Cell Biology research has implications for the understanding of disease states such as cancer, diabetes, bone health and cardiovascular diseases, as well as for the construction of medical devices, food security, synthetic biology and biotechnology. We adopt a multi-disciplinary approach to Cell Biology within our Research Institute of Molecular, Cell and Systems Biology (MCSB) that covers topics such as protein folding in the secretory pathway, regulation of membrane traffic, control of cell cycle, cytokinesis, compartmentalization of cellular signalling and cell engineering.

Course programme

PhD programmes in Cell Biology last 3-4 years with research topics being allied to ongoing research within the Institute, the majority of which are basic science projects. A variety of multi-disciplinary research approaches are applied, including biochemistry, molecular biology, molecular genetics, materials science, polyomics (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics etc), bioinformatics, structural biology, microscopy and imaging techniques. Specific areas of interest include:

  • Control of transcription and translation
  • REDOX signalling
  • Mitochondrial biology
  • Vesicular trafficking
  • Stem cell biology
  • Protein structure/function
  • Biomaterials and Nanotechnology
  • Structure, function and drug targeting of G-protein coupled receptors
  • Photobiology
  • Cell division and growth (cytokinesis and the cell cycle)
  • Validation and exploitation of anti-diabetic drug targets
  • Compartmentalisation of signalling responses
  • Membrane protein folding and targeting
  • Ion Transport
  • Insect Molecular Physiology

Additional information

All Postgraduate Research Students are allocated a supervisor who will act as the main source of academic support and research mentoring.You may want to identify a potential supervisor and contact them to discuss your research proposal before you apply.
