Great opportunity to work with one of our new recruits @aberdeenuni @AbdnLifeScience on an exciting PhD project. #phdchat #PhD #Bioinformatics #Immunology
Mike Morgan@MDMorgan_abz31 Jan 2023
The clock is ticking - just 5 days to go until applications close! You get to work on cool computational problems that will help answer super interesting biological questions related to immunology, and through collaborations in neuroscience, cancer and more!
