Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from a breakdown in immune regulation. This leads to expansion of autoreactive B cells as well as CD4+ and CD8+ T cells targeting the insulin-producing beta cells in pancreatic islets where proinflammatory cytokines play a key role in beta cell death. Read more
A 2025 Crick PhD project with Leanne Li. The course of cancer progression is dictated by the complicated interplay between cancer cell intrinsic factors and extrinsic environmental factors. Read more
A 2025 Crick PhD project with Charles Swanton. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Treatment for lung cancer includes therapies targeting the cells around the tumour, collectively known as the tumour microenvironment (TME). Read more
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 21 studentships for entry in September 2025. Read more
This full-time DPhil post at the Botnar Institute will use cutting edge laboratory and computational methods to interrogate the mechanisms underlying failed repair following scaphoid fracture. Read more
Recent research suggests that cancer cells within a tumour represent a highly heterogeneous cell population. In particular many tumours contain small percentage of cells that share several characteristics with stem cells. Read more
This DPhil project aims to elucidate the mechanisms of RNA splicing within immune cells, focusing on the computational analysis of alternative splicing events and their impact on immune homeostasis and inflammatory responses. Read more
Project details. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized membrane enclosed particles that are produced by all cell types that have been tested. Read more
Solar cells are a cornerstone of the pursuit of sustainable energy. To make solar power more efficient and affordable, we need new materials and innovative designs. Read more
Despite significant advancements in cardiac research, heart disease remains a leading cause of mortality globally. Unexpected cardiac events can occur even in young, fit individuals engaged in routine activities. Read more
