Delighted to be advertising exciting PhD project with @jamesapoulter @LucyFStead on translation of novel neuro peptides from long non-coding RNAs findaphd.com/phds/project/mr…
Are these cytoplasmic lncRNAs coding or non-coding?
What is the neuronal function of the resulting peptides?

The SUSTAIN programme by @acmedsci for women in research will be closing for applications on 5 September. Apply now to take part in a year of tailored career workshops, mentoring from a research leader and peer support: ow.ly/mvfR50QGzYh
ALT Dr. Paz (Upasanap) Tayai smiling in a laboratory setting with text quoting the positive impact of the SUSTAIN programme from The Academy of Medical Sciences. Quote text: "The SUSTAIN programme has been invaluable over the last year as I've set up my independent research group, and the media training had a direct impact on getting our research profiled in the national press."
