PhD opportunities: Garvan Institute of Medical Research

Compare 2 doctoral research opportunities connected with Garvan Institute of Medical Research, including project summaries, funding and application deadlines.

Bioinformatics

Developing algorithms for single-cell long-read nanopore sequencing

Garvan Institute of Medical Research

About the Project Project Description Alternative splicing (AS) is one of the most powerful mechanisms generating protein diversity in the human brain. Dysregulation of splicing is increasingly recognised as a major driver of neurodegenerative disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP).

Location: Sydney, Australia, Australia
Deadline: Year-round applications
Funding: Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Bacteriology

Discovering Therapeutic Targets for ALS Using CRISPR-dCas9 Single-Cell Perturb-Seq in Patient-Derived Motor Neurons

Garvan Institute of Medical Research

About the Project Project Description Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease with no effective cure. Although several causal mutations (e.g. SOD1 , C9orf72 ) have been identified, why some mutation carriers remain symptom-free while others develop severe disease remains unknown. This suggests the existence of genetic and epigenetic modifiers that determine neuronal vulnerability.
