Dr Ben Ward. http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/people/view/38527-ward-benjamin. is looking for a PhD student to work on the research project ’Asymmetric catalysis using environmentally benign calcium complexes’. Read more
The role of calcium signalling in regulating of tumour cell behaviour
Metastasis is the major cause of mortality in human cancers, yet we know relatively little of the fundamental biology that underlies the important transition to invasive malignancy. Read more
Towards More Understanding of Aggregation and Scaling of Calcium Carbonate in the Petroleum Production Facility
The scale deposition and aggregation of calcium carbonate in the production facility is challenging problem in the petroleum industry. Read more
Control of Parathyroid Hormone Secretion
The regulation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion is of fundamental importance for calcium homeostasis and in mineral conditions affecting bone and the kidneys. Read more
Calcium signalling in In-Vitro Fertilization: developing a non-invasive diagnostic tool using mathematical modelling and data analysis
IVF is the primary treatment of infertility with ~2.5 million treatments and ~500,000 births annually. The success rate has been ~25% for many decades but it has been decreasing while the IVF industry is projected to grow to 37.7 billion (USD) by 2027 with an ~10% annual growth rate. Read more
Stem cells and hungry neurons: neuropeptides in energy homeostasis
Summary. You will investigate the role of neural stem cells and neurons in energy homeostasis. You will determine how neuropeptides and diet affects stem cells, neurons and glia from mouse and human brain. Read more
How GABA neurones in the DVC control glucose metabolism
The Dorsal Vagal Complex (DVC) of the brain is an important regulator of glucose metabolism and food intake. The Nucleus of the Solitary Tract (NTS) in the DVC senses insulin and triggers a neuronal relay to decrease hepatic glucose production (HPG) in rodents. Read more
THE CELLULAR ORIGIN OF SPATIAL DIFFERENCES FOR THE MATURATION OF LIGHT RESPONSES (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/HILGEN)
Vision is probably our most important sense. Vision starts in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. It is a well-layered structure with synaptic (connections of neurons) and nuclear (cell bodies) layers. Read more
PMCA1 – a potential target for the treatment of heart failure
Our research group is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of heart failure and in doing so identifying potential new targets for its treatment. Read more
Endoplasmic Reticulum Transport and Morphoregulation in Neuron (Patho) Physiology
The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is a multifunctional organelle, shaped as a contiguous network of membranous pipes extending throughout the cell periphery. Read more
Use of Fungi as a Means of Producing Concrete-Like Construction Materials
Concrete is one of the World’s most ubiquitous materials. It has achieved this through its versatility, durability and low cost. However, the manufacture of a key ingredient - Portland cement – contributes 4% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Read more
