Self-folding Origami ”Robots” for Cognitive Smart Materials
Background. With the development of smart materials capable of sensing and changing states, the realisation of 'robots' that are paper-like materials but that can fold themselves up, start moving, and adapt to the situation while sensing their environment is becoming a reality. Read more
Towards robotic 2D-IR spectroscopy for biomolecular fingerprinting of cancer
Research Group:
Healthcare Engineering
Ultrafast 2D-IR spectroscopy is a new variant of Infrared spectroscopy which offers a unique analytical method for characterizing complex biomolecular samples. Read more
A chemical engine to produce mechanical force: towards a physio-chemical model of heart cells
Living systems are complex, and are based on the basic building blocks of genes, proteins, chemical reactions, and physical forces. Read more
Determining how immune responses are regulated in the lung and gut by the local environment
The immune system must respond quickly to infection but must also be tightly regulated so it ignores harmless substances and our own tissues. Read more
Delivering Sustainable Energy Solutions to Ports
Ports are major sources of greenhouse gas emissions as they commonly move up to 10,000 containers a day from ship to road or rail transport and correspondingly in the reverse direction from land transport onto ships. Read more
EastBio: Contribution of Spatial Genome Organisation to Fine-Tune Metabolic Control in Optimizing Muscle Performance.
Different tissues have unique genome-organisation patterns that fine-tune gene expression, e.g. by enhancing gene silencing through nuclear envelope (NE)-association. Read more
EastBio: How do Leishmania parasite cells control their swimming to get where they need to go?
This project will combine cutting-edge CRISPR reverse genetics, advanced microscopy and computational image analysis to visualise the signaling that happens inside swimming parasite cells. Read more
Kinetochore-mediated control of microtubule dynamics reconstituted in vitro
Primary Supervisor: Dr Vladimir Volkov. Funding: China Scholarship Council (CSC). Deadline: 29th January 2025. Project Overview. Read more
Epigenetic control of alternative promoter utilisation
Many human genes are regulated through alternative promoter utilisation, some examples of which can be induced by experiment, and many of which occur in diseases such as cancer. Read more
Exploring Sensorimotor Function and Developing Rehabilitation Strategies using Experimental and Computational Approaches
In collaboration with a multidisciplinary team consisting of biologists, clinicians, engineers, mathematicians, and computational biologists and startups around the globe, we aim to decipher the organizational principles of sensorimotor function in mammals. Read more
Employing molecular virology to investigate hepatitis E virus replication
This project is available to self funded candidates only. The Herod lab has a broad interest in virus replication, with a particular interest in studying single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses important for human and animal health. Read more
Funded PhD - Synergies between nest architecture and division of labour in ant colonies
Division of labour, whereby different tasks are carried out by different groups of workers, is often considered one of the main drivers of the ecological success of social insects (ants, bees, wasps & termites), because specialisation into tasks is predicted to increase performance and minimise task-switching costs. Read more
Understanding the beginning of life: the biological role of UBE2Q1 and non-canonical ubiquitination in mouse embryonic cells
Ubiquitination is a fundamental post-translational modification (PTM), which profoundly impacts diverse cellular functions, including protein degradation, localization, quality control, DNA repair, cell signalling, and immune response. . Read more

Next generation sustainable biological membrane technology
Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence. This studentship is supported by the Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence. AIME is a unique, interdisciplinary, intersectoral research and training hub for translational membrane science. Read more
Modelling of the self-feedback control of the androgen receptor under the influence of testosterone.
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
