[交流] 全奖利物浦博士学位乙肝病毒X蛋白对肝细胞mRNA转录修饰影响及在肝细胞癌发病中作用

phd studentship (full-time)

institution: xi’an jiaotong-liverpool university, china

department: department of biological sciences

application deadline: open until the position is filled

funding availability: funded phd project (world-wide students)

project title: dynamics of mrna m6a methylome induced by hepatitis b virus x protein and its significance for the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma
探讨乙肝病毒x 蛋白对肝细胞mrna 表观转录修饰的影响及其在肝细胞癌发病机理中的作用

contact:
please email rong.rong@xjtlu.edu.cn (xjtlu principal supervisor’s email address) and copy doctoralstudies@xjtlu.edu.cn with a subject line of the phd project title

requirements:
the candidate should have a first class or upper second class honours degree, or amaster’s degree (or equivalent qualification) in virology, molecular biology, cell biology, immunology or medicine. evidence of good spoken and written english is essential. the candidate should have an ielts score of 6.5 or above (with a minimum of 5.5 in each component), if the first language is not english. this position is open to all qualified candidates irrespective of nationality.

degree:
the student will be awarded a phd degree from the university of liverpool (uk) upon successful completion of the program.

funding:
the phd studentship is available for three years subject to satisfactory progress by the student. the award covers tuition fees for three years (currently equivalent to rmb 80,000 per annum) and provides a monthly stipend of 3500 rmb as a contribution to living expenses. it also provides up to rmb 16,500 to allow participation at international conferences during the period of the award. it is a condition of the award that holders of xjtlu phd scholarships carry out 300-500 hours of teaching assistance work per year. the scholarship holder is expected to carry out the major part of his or her research at xjtlu in suzhou, china. however, he or she is eligible for a research study visit to the university of liverpool of up to three months, if this is required by the project.

project description:
n6-methyaladenosine (m6a) has been identified as the most common internal modification in mrna in higher eukaryotes. recent studies suggest that m6a modification plays significant and broad roles in various physiological processes that might be linked to human diseases, such as cancers. however, the mechanisms or pathways that m6a modification is involved in cancer development remain unclear. to investigate whether hbv x protein (hbx) can mediate the changes of the mrna m6a profile of human hepatocytes during the hbv infection, which may involve in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc), we propose to check the topology, dynamics and influences of mrna m6a methylome and its methylation modifiers in the stable hbx-expressing hepatocytes. successful completion of this study will address for the first time the importance of mrna methylation in hbx-induced hcc. furthermore, our study will provide relevant information that can be exploited to develop rna methylome-based new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of hbvinduced hcc.
