Global Excellence and Mobility Scholarship (GEMS)

PhD opportunity at Monash University Malaysia in the project Cross-Regional Mechanisms in Schizophrenia & ASD via Multi-omics in Patient-Derived hiPSC Models , part of the GEMS 2026 scholarship scheme and the MAP-Neuro thematic cluster. This project uses patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines from ethnically diverse Malaysian donors, matched controls, and Australian cohorts to study neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disease mechanisms. The research combines cortical ne...

PhD opportunity at Monash University Malaysia in the Global Excellence and Mobility Scholarship (GEMS 2026) programme. The project focuses on molecular dynamics (MD) , QSAR modelling , and natural-compound screening for dengue antivirals . The research will build a streamlined in-silico pipeline to prioritise plant-derived and pharmacopeial compounds, dock them against dengue and host targets, evaluate binding stability and free energy, and train QSAR models using antiviral datasets. Outputs inc...
