PhD STUDENTSHIPS (2)
Cell Biology Laboratory
Department of Biochemistry
BioSciences Institute, UCC
Two PHD studentships are available on Science Foundation Ireland funded projects to explore the actions of a novel protein and the IGF-I signalling system in cell survival and cancer.
One project with address a new IGF-I-regulated protein called EVA that is essential for cell survival and regulation of cellular acidification. The other project is aimed at determining how a motif in the IGF-I Receptor acts to control IGF-I signalling responses in cancer cells.
The Cell Biology Laboratory is made up of an international group of 12-15 researchers who are recognized leaders in the study of IGF-I Receptor-activated signalling pathways and the characterization of new IGF-I-regulated genes using protein, molecular, and cell culture models.The research group is located in the BioSciences Institute at UCC and has much international collaboration.
