Doctoral Student

PhD opportunity in our research group at Cardiff University

We are recruiting a PhD student for an exciting interdisciplinary project:

“From Risk Genes to Biomarkers in Schizophrenia:
Striatal–Immune Signatures for Patient Stratification”

The project will investigate how genetic risk for schizophrenia translates into cell-type-specific changes in striatal and neuroimmune systems. It combines statistical genetics, single-cell data, UK Biobank analyses and experimental validation using CRISPR-based approaches and stem-cell models.

This opportunity would suit candidates with a background in biomedical science, biochemistry, cell biology or a related discipline who are interested in psychiatric genetics, neuroscience, immunology and translational research. Previous research experience is not essential.
