[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] Molecular Quantum Sensors for High-Resolution Immunomagnetic Mapping of Cancer Cells

The University of Manchester
Department of Chemistry
How precisely can we map molecular markers on a cancer cell? This question is important because the behaviour of cancer cells depends not only on which biomarkers they express and at what levels, but also on where those molecules are located within the cells and how that changes their distribution within their local environment.

(MRC NW-DMS) Integrating single cell transcriptomics and computational modelling to discover genetic drivers of age-related macular degeneration

The University of Manchester
Division of Evolution, Infection and Genomics
  Research Group: Division of Evolution, Infection and Genomics
Why do some people develop age-related macular degeneration (AMD) while others remain unaffected? Can genetics and artificial intelligence help uncover the earliest biological changes that lead to vision loss?. Read more

(MRC NW-DMS) Sustainable drug manufacture for next-generation medical imaging

The University of Manchester
Department of Chemistry
  Research Group: Department of Chemistry
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used to diagnose and monitor disease, but often gives limited information about how tissues use nutrients and produce energy. Read more

(MRC NW-DMS) Mapping how memory T cell responses develop and are maintained in tissue environments following infection

The University of Manchester
Division of Immunology, Immunity to Infection and Respiratory Medicine
  Research Group: Division of Immunology, Immunity to Infection and Respiratory Medicine
Whilst much of immunological research involves disaggregating tissues into single-cell suspensions so that high parameter cell phenotyping can be performed accurately, this approach completely removes tissue context and information on where a cell is, what it interacts with, and how it is shaped by and shapes its local environment is lost.

[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] Engineering chemical probes to sense dynamic molecular neighbourhoods in living cells

The University of Manchester
Department of Chemistry
How can we measure the fleeting molecular neighbourhoods that control signalling inside living cells?. Proximity-labelling methods provide a powerful way to address this problem by converting spatial proximity into a permanent chemical tag that can subsequently be detected by imaging or proteomics.
