Investigating plastic behaviour in immature bones
There are many differences in mechanical properties between immature and adult bones. While adult bones have been studied extensively, particularly in relation to non-healthy ageing and the risk of fracture, there has been a lack of study on immature or young bones and their mechanical properties.

Lead isotope ratio measurements in microcosms and avian samples as indicators for the source of lead poisoning in wildfowl
Lead (Pb) poisoning is commonly linked amongst anthropogenically-caused deaths in waterfowl and this is often associated with hunting and fishing activities. Read more
PhD Studentship in Craniofacial Biomechanics
Duration – 4 years; Stipend – standard UCL stipend ca. £18k p.a. This funding is available to UK students only or those who have UK settlement status. Read more
Modern human variation as a model for locomotor evolution in ancestral hominins
The transition to terrestrial bipedalism represents a defining episode in the history of our species. Understanding how, when, and why upright bipedalism evolved in hominins requires the biomechanics of fossil organisms to be analysed. Read more
Development of a Novel Biomimetic Anthropomorphic Robotic Hand
Research in robotic hand, especially multi-fingered anthropomorphic robotic hand has strongly interested the robotics research community since the early days of Robotics. Read more
MSc by Research: The role of the CCR4-NOT complex in somite segmentation
During early embryogenesis the somites are formed during a process called segmentation. The somites will go on to form the bones and muscles of the skeleton. Read more
MSc by Research: Regulation of the stability of the Notch intracellular domain in iPS derived presomitic mesoderm cells
Notch is one of the major highly conserved signalling pathways that regulate cell-cell communication which involves gene regulation mechanisms that control multiple processes during development and adult life. Read more
MSc by Research: Function of presomitic mesoderm specific phosphorylation of the Notch intracellular domain in somitogenesis
The Notch signalling pathway is one of the key pathways required for the developing embryo. It is especially important for the process of somitogenesis, the formation of body segments that develop into e.g. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Developing new synergistic therapies of bactericidal nanotopography and biophysical stimulation to combat AMR bacterial infections of implants
The recent WHO report (2019) on global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) highlights not only the growing issue of resistance, identifying it as one of the greatest threats we face as a global community, but also the lack of new effective options to tackle bacterial infections. Read more
