Physiological basis linking sleep continuity and age-related cognitive deficits: in vivo manipulation and monitoring of activity of layer 5 neurons in the cortex of mice
Research Group:
Surrey Sleep Research Centre (SSRC)
A good night’s sleep is essential to maintain proper mental health. In particular, consolidated periods of sleep (i.e. sleep continuity) seem to be critical for cognition as reported in humans (Della Monica et al., 2018) and rodents (Rolls et al., 2011). Read more
Novel single-cell omics and microfluidics approaches to tackle antimicrobial resistance, [Biosciences] – PhD (Funded)
Location. Living Systems Institute, Streatham Campus, Exeter. Read more
Development and use of advanced optical microscopy to facilitate gene delivery and gene therapy in 3D cardiac disease models
This is an exciting fully funded PhD studentship opportunity exploring the pathogenesis and treatment of human cardiac diseases with a potential for a vast array of 3D tissue engineering applications using advanced optical microscopy techniques. Read more
Surviving Perturbations: Quantitatively Understanding Microbial Community Robustness
The Project. Multispecies microbial communities can outperform single species in, for example, producing pharmaceuticals or fighting infections. Read more
Face off – Dissecting the role of phase separation in viral replication and antiviral responses
Background. The assembly of membraneless organelles is emerging as a fundamental paradigm for many cellular functions. Among these, stress granules (SGs) play a central role in health and disease by concentrating proteins and RNAs, driving adaption to stressful conditions, including viral infection. Read more

Novel therapeutics in breast, pancreatic and colorectal cancers
The host laboratories based in the European Cancer Stem Cell Research Institute, School of Biosciences and the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Cardiff have developed two novel classes of therapeutic agent for oncology that target two distinct cancer cell pathways. Read more
Impact of dietary components on the intestinal stem cell homeostasis and cancer risk
Bowel cancer is the 4th most common and second biggest cause of cancer mortality. Of the ~14,000 new cases of bowel cancer each year in the UK it is estimated 50% could have been prevented through healthy lifestyle changes. For example, there is strong evidence for a high fibre diet preventing bowel cancer. Read more
Proteome wide identification of clinically-relevant carbon dioxide targets
Carbon dioxide is a bioactive gas whose altered partial pressure has clinical consequences. There is an emerging consensus that the beneficial or detrimental effects of CO. Read more

Applications are invited for a 3.5 year full-time industrial doctoral studentship co-funded by the University of Surrey (. Surrey Sleep Research Centre. Read more
Sustainable urban horticulture: managing soils for nutritional crops
Our research has demonstrated that there is potentially enough land in UK urban areas for urban horticulture to make an important contribution to UK fruit and vegetable production1. Read more
Mathematical modelling of herpes simplex virus transmission in 2- and 3- dimensions
This is an exciting opportunity to undertake an EPSRC-funded PhD that will combine experimental work with mathematical modelling to describe the transmission of the human pathogen herpes simplex virus (HSV) in human cells and tissue models, and develop a comprehensive tool for assessing the parameters that influence virus transmission.
