Welcome to Catherine Jopling’s lab at the University of Nottingham, UK
We are interested in understanding how microRNAs are made and how they function to regulate gene expression in healthy cells and in viral infection.
We are also working on molecular biology approaches to investigate and improve delivery of mRNA therapeutics.
Postdoc position available soon
Our lab was recently awarded a BBSRC grant, ‘Defining the interconnected roles of CCR4-NOT and TENT4/5 proteins in mRNA targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum’, in collaboration with Martin Bushell at the CRUK Scotland Institute. I will be advertising a three year postdoc position in autumn 2026 and will post the link here when applications open. If you are experienced in RNA biology, cell culture and bioinformatics and would like to discuss this opportunity, please email me.
PhD opportunities
If you are a self-funded PhD student, we have opportunities available for PhDs in various aspects of miRNA biogenesis and function. Please get in touch if you are interested.
Contact
The Jopling lab is located in the School of Pharmacy, University of Nottingham, UK. We share space with several other groups in the Gene Regulation and RNA Biology lab in the Biodiscovery Institute.
If you are interested in joining the lab please send me an email at catherine.jopling@nottingham.ac.uk.
