    PhD Studentship

    UNIVERSITY OF ULSTER

    PhD Studentship in Biomedical Sciences

    Applications are invited for a funded PhD studentship tenable in the Faculty of Life and Health Sciences at the Coleraine and Londonderry Campuses.

    All applicants should hold a first or upper second class honours degree in BSc in any quantitative science, e.g. mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science, engineering.

    Successful candidates will enrol as of September 2014, on a full-time programme of research studies leading to the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

    The studentship will comprise fees together with an annual stipend of £13,863 and will be awarded for a period of up to three years subject to satisfactory progress.

    The closing date for receipt of completed applications is 28th February 2014.

    Interviews will be held during March 2014.

    This project investigates how cholesterol metabolism and the processes leading to cardiovascular disease vary from person to person. Using data taken from large patient groups across the world we will explore this variation geographically, examining global trends and the variation within continents, and we will examine the impact of different disease types.

    This will produce the first analysis of how cholesterol metabolism and the associated cardiovascular disease processes vary across large patient groups and the first geographical break-down. The project will require mathematical and computational skills. An understanding of systems biology and/or bioinformatics would be advantageous.

    Please see http://www.science.ulster.ac.uk/grad...meatablism.pdf for further details.

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
