A BBSRC-funded PhD studentship is available for a joint project between the labs of Steffen Scholpp, Living Systems Institute, University of Exeter (s.scholpp@exeter.ac.uk) and Robert Kelsh, University of Bath (bssrnk@bath.ac.uk). Dissecting the function of Wnt signalling in zebrafish neural crest development. Project Description The neural crest (NC) is a stem-cell-like cell population, which is unique to[…]

Modern scientific innovation involves the integration of diverse disciplines and the bridging of pure and application-oriented research. This requires a new generation of bioscientists who are trained to think and experiment beyond traditional boundaries. The recently established Living Systems Institute (LSI), University of Exeter, provides this opportunity by housing world-leading Biologists, Physicists, Mathematicians, Computational Scientists[…]

Several MRC-funded positions are available in the Scholpp lab in the Living Systems Institute (LSI) at the University of Exeter to elucidate various aspects of cytoneme-mediated Wnt trafficking in vertebrates. We are looking for a Postdoc (3years, starting in Spring 2019), two PhD students (3.5years, starting in Autumn 2019, UK/EU only), and a Tech (2years,[…]

by Lauren Porter and Steffen Scholpp Living Systems Institute, University of Exeter, UK The importance of Wnt signalling in developmental processes, wound healing and stem cell control has long been established. Historically, scientists attributed the transport of Wnt proteins from the source to the receiver cell to simple diffusion, however, this explanation did not[…]

The process of subdividing a tissue into functional units represents a classic problem in pattern formation. Signalling proteins – so-called morphogens – orchestrate this process. The traditional view is that morphogens are released from local source and slowly diffuse through a neighbouring tissue to build up a gradient. As Wnt signals act as a key[…]

8-15 September 2013, Karlsruhe, Germany We would like to welcome applications to the EMBO zebrafish workshop that will take place at KIT, Karlsruhe (Germany) in the fall of 2013. The objective of this EMBO Workshop is to provide theoretical and practical background on the zebrafish model system for direct assessment of open questions using modern[…]

We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to study development and regeneration of the thalamus in zebrafish. Stroke is a prevalent and devastating disorder, and no treatment is currently available to restore lost neuronal function after stroke. In 10% of all stroke patients, a remote damage of the thalamus has been documented. We[…]
