PhD: IL-17 Immune–Cardiac Signalling in CKD Remodelling

Laplace Expert Ltd; Birmingham; Hybrid; GBP 20,000 - 23,000; Full time

Job summary

The University of Birmingham invites applications for a PhD opportunity titled “IL-17 Immune–Cardiac Signalling in Cardiorenal Stress”, exploring how IL-17 inflammatory pathways influence immune–cardiac interactions and arrhythmogenic remodelling in chronic kidney disease. Based in Birmingham, the project combines wet-lab and computational approaches to understand cellular cross-talk in the heart.

Applicants should have strong training in biomedical sciences; the programme emphasises single-cell

Qualifications

• Strong biomedical science background required.
• Experience with single-cell datasets preferred.
• Familiarity with cardiac biology and signalling is advantageous.

Responsibilities

• Conduct research on IL-17 signalling and its role in cardiorenal stress.
• Integrate single-cell transcriptomics with functional assays.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams across computational and experimental biology.
