Antimicrobial drug development: Synthesis, characterisation, and evaluation of novel antimicrobial agents to combat antimicrobial resistance.
Vaccines and antibiotics have been at the forefront in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. However, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Read more
Goal and Plan Recognition for Multiple Agents
Goal recognition is the task of identifying the intended state of affairs of an agent, given evidence about its currently executing plans [. Read more
Analysis and control of multi-agent systems using partial differential equations
A multi-agent system (MAS) refers to a group of interacting robots or, more generally, dynamical systems. Typical examples are robot swarms, traffic flows, smart grids, communication networks, and transportation systems. Read more
Molecular mechanisms of action and basis of resistance to hypomethylating agents in cancer
The student will be supervised by two supervisors. Prof Skirmantas Kriaucionis research group aims to elucidate the molecular function of DNA modifications in normal cells, leading to the understanding of how defective pathways contribute to the neoplasia. Read more
Developing new cancer therapeutic agents from foodstuff: characterizing galectin interaction with novel inhibitors
Applications will be reviewed until a suitable candidate is appointed. Galectins are a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins that are commonly over-expressed by many types of cancers such as colorectal, lung, breast, prostate cancer and melanoma. Read more
Inorganic chaperones fused to fungal derived chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of neuroblastoma
This is a unique and cutting-edge PhD research opportunity in the multidisciplinary field of nanotechnology for a student with a strong background in chemistry / biochemistry interested in applying knowledge and developing drugs and drug delivery systems for cancer chemotherapy. Read more
Synthesis of New Anti-Cancer Agents and Pharmacogenomics of BRCA-mutated Cancers in the Qatar Population
The group has published on the discovery of heterocyclic quinone anti-cancer agents with specificity towards hypoxic cells associated with solid tumours… Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Exploiting interkingdom bacterial- fungal chemical signaling to tackle antimicrobial resistant fungi
Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) remain an unresolved clinical issue that significantly impacts patients’ lives and global economies. Read more
Novel Structured Surface Coatings for Protection from Chemical, Biological and Radiological Agents
This 4-year fully funded EPSRC PhD studentship offers the unique and exciting opportunity to work with the MOD (Defence Science and Technology Laboratory… Read more
UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Socially Intelligent Artificial Agents (SOCIAL)
The SOCIAL AI Centre for Doctoral Training at the University of Glasgow offers a fully-funded four-year PhD in Computing Science and Psychology with Integrated Study, aligned with 14 international industry partners, to train the next generation of experts in Artificial Social Intelligence. Read more
Towards the application of triplex-forming oligonucleotides as therapeutic agents
Synthetic oligonucleotides are short strands of DNA that can be used to treat or manage a wide range of diseases, for example by gene silencing. Read more
Multifunctional hybrid porous silica nanoparticles for stimuli-responsive delivery of novel antimicrobial agents
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
The rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant superbugs poses a serious global health and socioeconomic threat. This project builds upon our expertise in the facile and scalable synthesis of novel, highly uniform porous silica nanoparticles for drug delivery. Read more
Bridging the gap between environment and health – exposure assessment of potentially harmful agents in soil
Our current understanding of soil exposure in the UK population is extremely limited. The current risk assessment paradigm makes large assumptions based on very uncertain data to estimate direct exposures via soil ingestion or dust inhalation. Read more
Risk of Serious Infection associated with Interleukin 17 and 23 Inhibitors Compared with Other Biologics in People with Psoriasis
Biologic therapies are immune-modulators that are highly effective for the treatment of severe psoriasis. The licensed classes of biologics include two older classes - tumour necrosis factor(TNF) and interleukin(IL)-12/23 inhibitors; and two newer classes - IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors. Read more
Last chance to apply
Fluorescence spectroscopy and multispectral imaging of cancer-targeted molecular probes
Many common types of solid cancerous tumours exhibit overexpression of certain biomarkers that can be used to distinguish tumour from adjacent normal tissue. Read more
