More details

Investigate the molecular mechanism controlling FEME (Fast Endophilin Mediated Endocytosis) in directed cancer cell migration using CRISPR, biochemistry, and advanced microscopy methods.

Cancer is a devastating disease. more than one in three people in the UK will develop cancer in their lifetime. Metastasis is the primary cause of cancer related deaths. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr M Krause
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only

How does cell signalling protect and regulate cytokinesis?

Background. Cytokinesis, the physical division of one cell into two, is fundamental to life and errors can result in abnormal chromosomal numbers, developmental defects, and cancers. Read more

Investigate cytoskeletal networks controlling cancer cell migration at the systems level using CRISPR-Cas9, microfluidics, and advanced live cell imaging.

Cell migration is fundamental for the existence of multicellular animals, including humans, as certain cells migrate throughout the embryo to form specific tissues. Read more

Coupled chemical oscillations in networks of neurons and astrocytes

Project Overview. Waves and oscillations of molecules play a critical role in information processing in the brain. Meanwhile, pulsatility of hormones is the foundation of fertility, emotional regulation and mammalian behaviour. Read more

Molecular Mechanisms of Cancer Progression

The Wells Invasion and Metastasis Research Group is interested in how cancer cells are able to dissociate from the primary tumour, invade the surrounding tissue and subsequently metastasise to distal sites. Read more

The role of inflammatory cytokines on macrophage cytoskeletal structure and function in diabetes and cardiovasular disease

The Maelor Academic Unit of Medical & Surgical Sciences (MAUMSS) is a novel initiative by the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB), and is designed to encourage and support research within the Health Board and to promote academic activity, basic science and clinical research across North Wales (UK) and beyond.

Development of a new muscle mechanics model - mechanics of lower limb muscles during gait

The goal of this project is to build a new model of muscle contraction called the Active Spring Muscle Model (ASMM) and to verify the model in human gait mechanics. Read more
