C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a 22 amino acid compound expressed across the central nervous system and other tissues including key endocrine tissues such as the pituitary, bone, gonads and kidneys.

This three year studentship, supported by a Wellcome Trust grant, will investigate the role of two different CNP-encoding genes in development, using transgenic zebrafish lines and investigating CNP's effect on the pituitary and bone tissue.

The deadline for applications is 11 February 2011. For more information please follow the link below.
