PhD position - Gut feeling: an exploration into how neural sensing of organ volume controls animal physiology and behaviour

Posted by , on 5 November 2021

Many internal organs fill and empty periodically while carrying out their normal physiological function. Associated peripheral neurons act as specialised mechanoreceptors to detect changes in organ volume, and relay this ...

PhD position - Emergence of functional polarity in a tubular epithelium

Posted by , on 11 November 2019

Epithelial tubes often have a functional polarity written along their proximo-distal (P-D) axis, with different segments of specialised cell-types carrying out distinct physiological activities. With a handful of notable exceptions, ...
