(MCRC Non-Clinical) Elucidating progesterone-driven Wnt signalling for breast cancer prevention

The University of Manchester
Division of Cancer Sciences
Progesterone signalling is essential for normal breast development, but repeated hormone-driven expansion of progenitor cells may also create cellular states that initiate breast tumours. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr B Simoes, Prof R Clarke, Dr S Nagarajan, Dr SH Howell

(MCRC Clinical)Shaping early post-transplant inflammation to strengthen graft-versus- leukaemia

The University of Manchester
Division of Cancer Sciences
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is the only cure for most patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukaemia. It works because donor immune cells recognise and destroy residual leukaemia, an effect known as graft-versus-leukaemia (GvL). Read more

[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Actively sieving ions

The University of Manchester
Department of Chemistry
Biology relies on the exquisite control of ion transfer across cell membranes. Highly specific proteins distinguish between ions such as Na+ and K+, and this selective transport through ion channels is fundamental to cell function. Read more

Investigating Non-thermal ‘Cold’ Plasmas for Enhancing the Delivery and Efficacy of Antibiotics and Complex molecules to biofilms of clinically relevant bacteria

Queen’s University Belfast
School of Pharmacy
  Research Group: Infection and antimicrobial resistance
Biofilms, complex multi-species consortia of microorganisms existing either as surface attached communities or non-surface-attached aggregates, are characterised by significantly elevated tolerance to antimicrobial challenges and often an inability to adequately treat the infection with conventional antibiotics.

Investigating proteins that build the outer membrane of antimicrobial resistant bacteria

University of Oxford
Sir William Dunn School of Pathology
Antimicrobial resistant (AMR) micro-organisms cause a major global threat to modern medicine. Gram-negative, double-membraned bacteria (such as Escherichia coli) are particularly difficult to treat, in part because they have an outer membrane (OM) that acts as a barrier against antibiotics.
