How cells decide what to become: exploring diversity in the developing spinal cord

Key information

Research topics

This is a summer student position supervised by Eleftheria Parasyraki in James Briscoe's lab.

Introduction to the science

In our lab, we study how embryos produce the right cells in the right place at the right time. To do this, we work on the developing spinal cord—a key part of the central nervous system that gives rise to many different types of neurons and glia in a highly organised manner. We investigate how genes interact to control cell identity, and how these interactions build the structures of the nervous system. Understanding these processes not only reveals fundamental rules of neural tissue formation, but also helps guide the design of better treatments for nervous system diseases.

About the project

In this summer project, you will explore the spatial and temporal cues that shape cell identity in the developing spinal cord. Although many individual factors have been identified, we still do not understand how positional information (“where a cell is”) and timing signals (“when it develops”) work together to produce specific cell types. This project aims to uncover some of the key transcription factors and epigenetic regulators that help cells “know” what to become and when.

You will gain hands-on experience with a range of widely used and cutting-edge techniques, including embryonic stem cell culture and directed differentiation, gene knockouts, molecular biology assays, immunofluorescence, advanced microscopy, and flow cytometry. This project will give you direct exposure to developmental biology, stem cell models, and molecular biology—providing a strong foundation for future research in cell and developmental biology.[1, 2]

Candidate background

The post holder should embody and demonstrate the Crick ethos and ways of working: bold, open and collegial. The candidate must be registered at a UK Higher Education Institution, studying in the UK and must have completed a minimum of two years’ undergraduate study in a relevant discipline, and on track to receive a final degree grade of 2:1 or 1. In addition, they should be able demonstrate the following experience and key competencies:

• This project is suitable for a someone studying biology or biomedical sciences
• Good knowledge in relevant scientific area(s)
• Good written and spoken communication skills
• Ability to work independently and also capable of interacting within a group

Immuno-Genetics: How do different variants of a gene impact immune cell function?

Key information

Research topics

This is a summer student position supervised by Siddhartha Sharma in Carola Garcia de Vinuesa's lab.

Introduction to the science

Systemic lupus erthyematosus (Lupus) is an autoimmune disease that mainly impacts women. It causes tissue and organ damage that can have significant impact on quality of life. In most cases lupus is the result of multiple genes acting together (polygenic). But there are rare instances when a single gene can cause lupus (monogenic). In the Vinuesa Lab, we study how people with these rare single gene cases develop lupus with the hope of better understanding how particular genes may contribute to the polygenic form of lupus.

About the project

In lupus, one gene that might play an important role in how the disease starts and progresses is the gene, TLR7. This gene is a type of pattern recognition receptor, and recognises distinct molecules in biology, called RNA, based on their unique patterns. We are going to study how different types of TLR7 genes (variants) may influence the severity of lupus. To do this, we will use molecular cloning techniques to assemble DNA copies of different TLR7 variants. Next, we will force cells to express a single TLR7 variant, and then test how these cells respond to RNA. With this information, we will compare the cell responses of each TLR7 variant. Knowing how each variant of TLR7 responds to RNA can help us better understand why some TLR7 variants cause disease in people.

Candidate background

The post holder should embody and demonstrate the Crick ethos and ways of working: bold, open and collegial. The candidate must be registered at a UK Higher Education Institution, studying in the UK and must have completed a minimum of two years’ undergraduate study in a relevant discipline, and on track to receive a final degree grade of 2:1 or 1. In addition, they should be able demonstrate the following experience and key competencies:

• This project would suit someone good with their hands and patient. Molecular coning is a laborious process, with a high chance of failure. But, with enough patience, and attention to detail, it usually works. Successful assembly of DNA can be quite rewarding.
• Good knowledge in relevant scientific area(s)
• Good written and spoken communication skills
• Ability to work independently and also capable of interacting within a group

Comprehensively defining determinants of mutation rate and spectrum in bacteria

Key information

Research topics

This is a summer student position supervised by Hannah Pugh in Eachan Johnson's lab.

Introduction to the science

In our group (the Systems Chemical Biology of Infection and Resistance Laboratory), we are interested in understanding how clinically relevant pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis cause infection and develop resistance to antimicrobials. Our aim is to identify new clinical targets through the development and use of chemical biology and genetic tools.

About the project

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the biggest global public health challenges of the 21st century. By 2050, an estimated 10 million people will die each year. How bacteria respond to both external and internal stressors, and DNA damage underpins this resistance.

To further understand regulators of bacterial genome stability, we have developed a fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) based assay that utilises 12 “dead” superfolder-GFP reporters, each of which reverts to fluorescence following one of the 12 possible mutations at a specific site [1]. Combined with CRISPR interference (CRISPRi), we are able to perform whole genome screens in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, to identify genetic modulators of resistance [2, 3].

Using an E. coli library, we will determine the conditions under which bacterial mutation rate changes. FACS will be utilised to isolate mutated cells, with exact mutations confirmed by sequencing. Targeted CRISPRi knockdowns will be generated to help understand the role individual genetic factors have on genome stability.

The project is constantly evolving but will include:

• Designing experiments

• Microbiology techniques

• Molecular microbiology techniques including CRISPRi/dCas9 technology

• Performing high-throughput phenotypic assays

• Assisted flow cytometry/FACS analyses

• Next generation sequencing

Candidate background

The post holder should embody and demonstrate the Crick ethos and ways of working: bold, open and collegial. The candidate must be registered at a UK Higher Education Institution, studying in the UK and must have completed a minimum of two years’ undergraduate study in a relevant discipline, and on track to receive a final degree grade of 2:1 or 1. In addition, they should be able demonstrate the following experience and key competencies:

• The project would suit a student studying a biological or biomedical based degree. Previous experience in microbiology or molecular biology is not needed, though an interest in microbial genetics, AMR or chemical biology is needed.
• Good knowledge in relevant scientific area(s)
• Good written and spoken communication skills
• Ability to work independently and also capable of interacting within a group

Profiling gene expression in early vertebrate embryos

Key information

Research topics

This is a summer student position supervised by Arsham Nejad Kourki in James DiFrisco's lab.

Introduction to the science

Our lab investigates the conserved principles that shape early embryonic development across vertebrates. We focus on diverse embryos, and how, despite major differences in geometry, yolk, and extraembryonic tissues, they deploy shared regulatory systems during gastrulation to establish the body axis and germ layers. By combining comparative embryology with modern single-cell, spatial, and chromatin accessibility approaches, we aim to uncover the gene regulatory networks and cell behaviours that define evolutionarily conserved structures during early development. Ultimately, our work seeks to clarify how homologous developmental mechanisms are maintained or transformed across evolution.

About the project

This project will explore how early embryos from frog, fish, and chicken use similar genes during gastrulation. Although these species look very different, many of the key developmental genes are shared. The student will help identify where these genes are active by imaging their expression patterns in whole embryos.

The work will involve three main steps. First, the student will perform HCR-FISH to label specific genes in fixed embryos. This technique uses fluorescent probes to show exactly where a gene is expressed. Next, the student will prepare thin sections of these embryos to examine tissue layers. Finally, they will image the samples using spinning-disk or laser-scanning confocal microscopy, allowing high-resolution visualisation of gene expression patterns.

By comparing frog, fish, and chicken embryos, the student will help us understand whether conserved developmental structures show similar molecular signatures across species. Their work will contribute to our broader research on how early body axes and germ layers form during gastrulation.

Techniques the student will learn :

1. HCR-FISH probe hybridisation and amplification

2. Fluorescent imaging of whole mounts

3. Cryosectioning or vibratome sectioning

4. Confocal microscopy (spinning disk or laser scanning)

This project provides hands-on experience with modern molecular imaging techniques and promises a valuable introduction to comparative developmental biology.
