Lithologic, sedimentology, stratigraphic and diagenetic controls on the gas transport properties of the Mercia Mudstone Group
Radiogenic gas escape from a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) can happen in several ways, such as advectively via aqueous fluids, or as a separate gas phase. Read more
Self-funded project: Ecological and evolutionary interactions in insect symbiont communities
Application accepted for either MSc by Research or PhD. Most organisms host bacterial symbionts, which can substantially affect the biology of their hosts. Read more

UCL Department. Institute of Ophthalmology. PhD Duration. 3 years. PhD Title. Elucidating novel genetic origins and molecular mechanisms underlying inherited corneal disease. Read more
Maximising ecosystem services in urban greenspaces
Research conducted mainly in the natural environment has shown biodiversity to be a key driver of multiple ecosystem functions (i.e. Read more
Computational study on the mechanics of surgical wound healing
Project description. Wound healing is a critical part of recovery and is determined primarily by wound care. Proper wound healing is important not only for aesthetic purposes (scarring minimization and prevention), but also in preventing infections and speeding up the recovery process. Read more

Affective forecasts and biodiversity renewal. NERC RENEW PhD Studentship 2022/23
General Information. The ‘Renewing biodiversity through a people-in-nature approach’ (RENEW) project will work with landowners, businesses, and communities to restore woodlands, wetlands and farmland across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Read more
Identifying immune mechanisms in the CNS as targets for the treatment of paediatric Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Paediatric MS accounts for 2.7-10.5% of the total MS population and can affect children of all ages. Paediatric MS is not curable and as such, is a lifelong debilitating disease that restricts the life quality of affected children for their entire life. Read more
Space Weather Forecast
The term 'Space Weather' refers to the conditions of environment in the vicinity of the Earth and to processes that may initiate far away (for example at the Sun) but can affect the geospace environment. Read more
Mechanistic models for protein binding and transport in organ impairment
When evaluating impact of disease on drug response, measurement of total drug concentration is typically used as surrogate for free drug concentration and pharmacological effect. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Using advanced 3D bioprinting techniques to assemble complex models of the blood-brain barrier
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a complex multicellular structure that selectively regulates transport between the circulating blood and the extracellular fluid of the central nervous system. Read more
Design principles and emergent behavior in biological systems
Student background. Theoretical Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering (background in biology not necessary).
