Design, synthesis and evaluation of novel polysialyltransferase inhibitors as anti- metastatic agents
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Polysialic acid plays an essential role in neuronal development, but by adulthood is absent from the human body. Its biosynthesis is regulated by two polysialyltransferases (polySTs). Read more
Functional and structural characterisation of glycosyltransferases involved in protein mannosylation
Glycosylation is one the most abundant post-translational modifications and an evolutionary indicator. indeed the increasing complexity of host-pathogen and organism-environment interactions, amongst others, is reflected in the newly-reported ability of prokaryotes (e.g. Read more
Building synthetic cells to study mechanical processes in zebrafish development
A long-standing goal is to identify the roles of mechanical forces and cell material properties in regulating essential processes during development, including tissue morphogenesis, cell migration and cell fate specification [1]. Read more
Pharmacological protection against a bad diet: a Drosophila model
Maintaining metabolic function is key to lifelong health. Changes in metabolism that disrupt cellular energy balance are now considered causative factors for multiple human diseases including diabetes, cancer and neurodegeneration. Read more
An exploration of psychosocial related quality of life in Cystic Fibrosis (CF), and the impact of mental health outcomes
Research Group:
Psychology
There is a research gap in understanding the mental health of individuals with the long term health condition Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Read more
Help seeking for period pain in adolescence: What does this look like? (Deakin University)
This is an opportunity to study a fully-funded PhD in both Australia and the UK, and to work with internationally recognised researchers in child health and neurodevelopment. Read more
Ulster Dressmaking: Exploring Domestic Production, Material Culture, Craft, and Agency.
Research Group:
Art and Design
Affordable sewing machines and commercial patterns made home dressmaking widespread in the 20th century. The paper pattern industry helped democratise fashion and entrepreneurship (Buchart, 2013). Read more
Help seeking for period pain in adolescence: What does this look like? (Aston University)
This is an opportunity to study a fully-funded PhD in both Australia and the UK, and to work with internationally recognised researchers in child health and neurodevelopment. Read more
Applying social network and personality trait analyses to understanding and managing human-macaque sympatry in urban Singapore
The need to understand and manage human-primate sympatry is growing in tandem with human population expansion and urbanization across primate range countries worldwide (Humle & Hill, 2016). Read more
Cardiac and skeletal muscle progenitor cells - driving regeneration ability by tryptophan metabolites
The School of Biomedical Sciences invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2024/25. Read more
Drug discovery leading to novel therapeutic avenues for the treatment of acute pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer
Acute pancreatitis is often a fatal human disease. The risk of developing pancreatic cancer is significantly increased in patients with chronic pancreatitis. Read more
Investigating the impact of the gut microbiome on the health of older people
The impact of the gut microbiome on human health has demanded increasing attention in recent years. It is associated with myriad disease states, including diabetes, dementia, cardiorespiratory conditions, and many cancers. Read more
CR2025_52: Modelling the Oceanic Cavities of the Antarctic Ice Sheet
*Please note that this PhD will be based at the National Oceanography Centre in Liverpool*. Antarctic Ice Sheet mass loss is one of the largest contributors to uncertainty in projections of future sea level rise. Read more
