Developing a novel cancer vaccine for low mutation burden tumours derived from the non-coding genome
Our laboratory aims to understand how mutation in tumour suppressors and oncogenes causes cancer. We focus on understanding the biochemical basis of oncogene and tumour suppressor activity in order to develop new cancer therapies. Read more
Efficient coding in touch: Exploring cortical feature tuning in the somatosensory system through the lens of efficient coding
Efficient coding models can successfully explain the emergence of different features detectors along the visual pathway, such as center-surround receptive fields, simple and complex cells, and even higher-level visual neurons. Read more
Error-control coding in DNA sequences
Over the past decade, there has been a lot of interest in studying the information-theoretic aspects of DNA sequences. For instance, the seminal work carried out by the French researcher Gerard Battail has shown that any DNA strand can be viewed as a codeword in the context of error-control coding theory. Read more
MyWorld: End-to-End Learned Video Compression
In recent years, video compression has played an essential role in the application and uptake of video technologies across film, television, terrestrial and satellite transmission, surveillance and particularly Internet video. Read more
Identification of transcriptomic signatures of autism-like neurodevelopmental disorder
The overarching aim of this project is to define transcriptional patterns and identify new genetic elements essential for the correct development of the human brain. Read more
MyWorld: Peripheral Vision and Coding
This project aims to exploit a knowledge of peripheral vision to enhance and measure viewer experience. Immersive media applications, such as VR, are heavily reliant on a wide field of view, high spatial and temporal resolutions, and high dynamic range, all of which require high bit rates. Read more
Unlocking the non-coding secrets of the human immune system
Thousands of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been discovered in mammalian transcriptomes. LncRNAs act through a multitude of mechanisms affecting transcription and co- and post-transcriptional mRNA processing in a cell. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: CryoEM and structural mapping of gene-regulatory non-coding RNAs
RNA molecules can fold into intricate, highly dynamic, secondary and tertiary structures that are essential for their biological function. Read more
PhD opportunities in Non-Coding RNA and Cancer research.
PhD opportunity in Non-Coding RNA and Cancer research. Are you an ambitious MSc or PhD student seeking a challenge at the forefront of genomics, computational biology and RNA therapeutics?. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: How can we identify variants in untranslated RNA that affect stem-cells
Most DNA sequence variation between individuals is found in non-coding sequence. However, determining which variants might have functional effects is difficult outside protein coding regions. Read more
Predictors of neurodevelopmental outcomes in early-onset epilepsy: leveraging AI in video-based and electronic health records (BEE-HIVES)
The aim of this PhD is to identify predictors of neurodevelopmental outcomes in early-onset epilepsy, by combining advances in machine learning techniques with linkage of routine maternal and infant medical records and prospective measurement of young children with epilepsy over the first three years of life. Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project: The rapidly aging African Turquoise killifish as a model for age related neurodegenerative disorders
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 20 studentships for entry in September 2024. Read more
Retrotransposons in immunity
Only about 1-2% of our genome is made up of protein coding genes, the rest is non-coding and at least half of that is made up of repetitive DNA sequences known as transposable elements (TEs). Read more
Flexible Framing for Robust and Efficient Steel Construction in Seismic Regions
Supervisory Team. Dr. Ahmed Elkady. Project description. Flexible framing involves flexible steel connections and composite steel-concrete decks that are cheap to fabricate and erect. Read more
