Global Excellence and Mobility Scholarship (GEMS)

PhD opportunity at Monash University Malaysia in the project Precision blood-cell biomarkers for early prediction of severe dengue , part of the Global Excellence and Mobility Scholarship (GEMS 2026) . The project focuses on establishing a prospective dengue cohort at University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) to identify early blood-cell signatures that predict severe disease. The research combines immunology , cell biology , virology , bioinformatics , genomics , medical statistics , and machine ...

Monash University Malaysia is advertising a PhD Global Excellence and Mobility Scholarship (GEMS 2026) project on the mechanisms and therapeutic potential of psychedelic compounds in patient-derived neural models . This PhD sits within the MAP-Neuro thematic cluster: Diverse hiPSC Models, AI Analytics & Mechanism-Guided Therapeutics . The project investigates compounds such as MDMA and psilocybin in hiPSC-derived neurons and organoids , using high-content imaging to study synaptic plasticity, co...

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 QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Brisbane, Australia focused on cardiac fibrosis , extracellular matrix (ECM) dynamics, and metalloproteases . The project investigates how ECM production, degradation, crosslinking, and remodelling shape contractile outcomes in human cardiac organoids. You will work with existing proteomics and RNA-seq datasets, perform bioinformatics analysis, experimentally modulate regulatory targets in vitro, and use mass spectrometry-based prot...
