University of Exeter invites applications for a PhD studentship focusing on how APOE genotype influences human sensory neurons and Schwann cells under diabetic stress. The project builds isogenic neuron-glia co-cultures and uses MEAs and patch-clamp to assess network activity and neuron function.
Long-read RNA sequencing will identify transcript-level changes and isoform switching, helping to pinpoint pathways and candidate genes for therapeutic targeting.
