PhD students are hosted across REACT at our partner universities.
New and upcoming studentship opportunities, as well as updates from our current postgraduate cohort, will be shared here.
RNA-binding proteins and alternative splicing in cardiac regeneration
The University of Edinburgh
Location: Edinburgh, UK (onsite)
Funding: fully funded 4-year studentship
Application deadline: Friday 17 April 2026
Dr Appie Beqqali is recruiting a PhD student to work on a project to understand molecular mechanisms that regulate regeneration in the injured and failing heart, with a particular focus on RNA-binding proteins and alternative splicing programmes that control cardiomyocyte plasticity.
The studentship will be integrated with the MRC Precision Medicine Doctoral Training Programme.
