About This Opportunity
The University of Bath is offering a GW4 BioMed3 MRC DLP PhD project on peptide activation of TFEB to enhance cellular recycling pathways in neurodegeneration. The programme deadline date is 21 October 2026.
The project develops peptide-based approaches to activate TFEB, a regulator of lysosomal and autophagy pathways, with the goal of improving cellular clearance in neurodegenerative disease. Research combines peptide design, biochemical screening, structural or biophysical analysis and cell-biology validation.
