adhesion PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 29 adhesion PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
The role of nuclear localisation of adhesion proteins in tumour growth and invasion
Overview. This project seeks to understand how tumour growth and invasion are controlled by the localisation of certain proteins in cancer cells. Read more
Targeting acute inflammation to reduce coronary artery vein graft failure using bioengineering
The long saphenous vein (LSV) is the most commonly used conduit in cardiac surgery to treat patients with coronary artery disease; however, its use is complicated by high failure rates due to the development of vascular inflammation, intimal hyperplasia (IH) and accelerated atherosclerosis. Read more
PhD Studentship in in-process evaluation of battery electrodes
Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of in-process evaluation of battery electrodes, starting from Oct 2024 onwards and leading to the award of a PhD degree. Read more
Efficacy of novel antimicrobial treatments on oral pathogens
Project details. Bacterial oral infections can cause a variety of problems including dental caries, abscesses, gingivitis and periodontal disease. 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. Read more
Investigating novel modulators of cell signalling and motility
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in cell signalling and motility led by Dr Vicki Smith at the University of Birmingham. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Osseointegrative and antimicrobial surfaces for dental implant with designed micro/nano-topographies
The use of dental implants has become a common treatment for the replacement of missing or damaged teeth. It is estimated that 10% of the world’s population will need a dental implant in their lifetime. Read more
Development of carbohydrate-functionalised materials for detection and prevention of medical device-associated infections
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a growing problem in the 21st century, causing longer and more serious infections, and resulting in poor outcomes for vulnerable patients. . Read more
Investigate cytoskeletal networks controlling cancer cell migration at the systems level.
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
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
Cell biology underlying tuberculosis pathogenesis and drug resistance
TB remains the world’s greatest infectious killer despite a vaccine (BCG) for a century and effective antibiotics for 60 years. TB’s persistence over millennia in the face of major medical advances underscores the ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to evade and exploit host defences and antibiotics. Read more
The Development of Novel and Sustainable Surface Preparation Processes for Steels Using Environmentally Friendly Solutions
The Industry and Innovation Research Institute (I2Ri) draws on talents, expertise and facilities across Sheffield Hallam University. Read more
Understanding KANK1 contribution to neuronal health and disease.
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a catastrophic disease with a 100% fatality rate but is mechanistically poorly understood. Recently, αβ-integrin heterodimers have been implicated in neurodegeneration. Read more
Alumina based ceramic nanocomposites through lean electrolytic plasma processing of Al alloys
We welcome applications from candidates to work with our interdisciplinary and collaborative team on a project on research and development of innovative surface treatments of advanced engineering materials. Read more
Fouling Control of Water Treatment Membranes through Optimal and Sustainable Cleaning Strategies
Membrane fouling – the deposition of organic and inorganic matter on the membrane surface – is a major technical obstacle affecting membrane-based water treatment processes. Read more
