PhD – Social Ageing: Social environment effects on senescence – Netherlands
The Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences offers a 4-year NWO M1-funded PhD position for a project on “Social Ageing: Social environment effects on senescence, using an epigenetic clock”, with the Seychelles warbler (Acrocephalus sechellensis) as a model system. The project is supervised by Prof. Hannah Dugdale (University of Groningen), Prof. David S. Richardson (University […]
PhD – Protein Structural Biology and Biophysics – Switzerland
Proteins must fold correctly to function, and this process is tightly regulated by a network of chaperone proteins. At the heart of this network is Hsp90, a molecular chaperone essential for the folding and maturation of at least 20% of all cellular proteins. Hsp90’s malfunction is implicated in cancer, neurodegenerative, and metabolic diseases. Despite its […]
PhD – Clinical-translational neuroimmunology of Parkinson’s disease – Belgium
The Gut-Immune-Brain Axis Lab and the Parkinson’s disease Research Team are hiring a full-time (100%) PhD to map how peripheral and circulating immune cells reflect early Parkinson’s disease (PD) biology. The project focuses on high-risk individuals and PD patients and aims to identify circulating immune signatures that anticipate disease onset and progression. Their lab studies how […]

The mystery of why diseases do not affect men and women in the same way
It is no secret that men and women face unique health challenges because of their genes. But to truly understand and address these challenges, are we relying too much on genetic factors that affect diseases, symptoms and health outcomes? Beyond genetics and medical factors, what role do other factors play in the evolution of our […]
