PhD studentship on the restoration of upland peatlands: Sphagnum establishment and peatland carbon balance
Upland peatlands across the UK have been impacted by erosion and pollution which have led to degradation of peatland function. Read more
The application of artificial intelligence in the assessment of balance and gait for the patients with Alzheimer's Disease and the implication in the diagnosis and rehabilitation
Alzheimer’s disease is widely happened for the mid-aged and elderly. The prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease will be increased in the future. Read more
Individuals with chronic dieting syndrome
In humans, energy balance is primarily regulated by body composition, muscle tissue and energy expenditure at rest and during daily activities. Read more
Rhythmic control of energy balance - to understand how our internal clocks regulate energy metabolism
24-hour rhythms are present in virtually all aspects of our behaviour and physiology. These rhythms are underpinned by circadian clocks that run throughout the body, and act within each tissue to orchestrate many organ functions and rhythmic activities (e.g. Read more
Combining Synthetic Biology and Modelling to Understand and Predict Evolution
Mutations, and their effects on organismal fitness, lie at the heart of understanding and predicting evolution. Because of its central role in determining evolutionary outcomes, much experimental and theoretical effort has been put into describing the fitness effects of mutations. Read more
MVLS/EPSRC - New chemical biology tools to untangle damage from signalling of lipid peroxidation in human cells
Research Group:
Institute of Molecular, Cell and Systems Biology
Every living organism must separate the inside from the outside of their cells. They do this using lipid membranes. The cells of higher organisms also have specialised internal spaces for different functions. Read more

Engineering metabolic pathways for optimal performance within host and biotechnological constraints.
Synthetic biology and microbial biotechnology offer sustainable routes to the manufacturer of commodity and high value chemicals from agricultural by-products instead of petrochemical feedstocks. Read more
Investigation into the in-vitro lung deposition of liposomal formulations of the dual fixed-dose combination inhaler
Research Group:
Medicines Development and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are diseases associated with the airflow in the lungs (WHO, 2013). Inhalation is the most effective route of administration for treating asthma and COPD (Labiris and Dolovich, 2003). Read more
Control of skeletal muscle regeneration and aging by cell signalling
The ability of skeletal muscles to regenerate in response to injury, exercise, growth or disease depends on a population of adult skeletal muscle stem cells. Read more
Determining the nutritional requirements of patients dependent on home parenteral nutrition: A longitudinal cohort study
This exciting new project will provide training in dietetic and nutritional research in artificial nutritional support. Parenteral nutrition (PN) involves the intravenous administration of substrates directly into a vein, providing fluid, energy, nitrogen, micronutrients and electrolytes. Read more
Continuous separation of conglomerate forming enantiomers using crystallization process
Enantiomers are the results of chirality or handedness of molecules which are the non-superimposable mirror images of each other. Read more
The regulation of platelet function - towards new strategies to prevent thrombosis
Project Overview. Platelets perform a pivotal role in the regulation of haemostasis, a physiological response to injury that prevents excessive bleeding. Read more
PhD opportunities in Law at Brunel University London
Address challenges in domestic law as well as universal legal, economic & social issues with Brunel Law School - a major player in the UK law research landscape. Read more
Supramolecular sensors for neurotransmitters
Neurological diseases are a leading cause of disability worldwide. Neurotransmitters (e.g. dopamine) are key molecules in neuronal communication, making their detection and quantification vital for medical diagnostics and therapeutics. Read more
