Unravelling the molecular link between coagulation and immunity
Summary. The blood-based coagulation and immune complement systems are activated in response to infection or injury. These systems are generally viewed as distinct, but several protein interactions between these systems affect their function and may contribute to disease. Read more
Interaction between innate immune activation and endothelial cells, linked to adverse cardiovascular events
The complement system is a key component of the immune response. Maintaining a balance between activation and inhibition of the complement system is key to preserving tissue homeostasis and enabling immune surveillance. Read more
High-throughput characterisation of the functional antibody epitope landscape of surface protein targets to guide vaccine and biologic design
Commercial partner: DJS Antibodies. Understanding the nature of antibody-antigen interactions and how these relate to functional outcomes is vital in guiding the rational design of next-generation vaccines and monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics. Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project: Single-shot diagnosis of ion channel dysfunction in neurological disease from data assimilation of cell membrane dynamics
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
Insights into eye disease: understanding the molecular basis of age-related macular degeneration
Dysregulation of innate immunity has been implicated as playing a key role in the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) – a major form of blindness in the industrialised world (see [1-5]). Read more
How can trials and real-world evidence provide the best possible evidence on the benefits and risks of implantable devices? (NDORMS 2024/10)
Medical devices and surgical innovation have been under-researched in the past, leading to safety concerns and numerous high-profile scandals, such as those related to metal-on-metal hip replacements and surgical mesh. Read more
Philosophy PhD (option of joint PhD with National University of Singapore)
The Philosophy Department at King’s is one of the largest research departments in the field in the UK. Read more
Development of integrated microfluidic chips for making mRNA nanomedicines
Project. Messenger RNA (mRNA) provides a highly flexible platform for the development of vaccines. A robust immune response typically requires both an antibody response and a T-cell response. Read more
King’s College London MRC Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) Studentships in Biomedical Sciences
Application Deadline. Wednesday 8 November 2023, 13:00 (GMT). King's College London are seeking students of academic excellence to join our Health Faculties. Read more
Circular Economy of Mineral-Based Construction Materials
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
As part of the Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Centre for Mineral-Based Construction Materials (ICEC-MCM), we have a PhD scholarship to investigate technical aspects of circular economy applied to construction materials. Read more
Exploration of deep learning based generative adversarial networks (GANs) to mitigate bias in the evaluation of medical images among diverse population and disease sub-groups
Medical image analysis using Deep Learning models involves training on progressively larger datasets. Homogeneity of data within the training set, particularly in its representation of diverse population sub-groups and various disease stages, substantially influences model effectiveness. Read more
Cryo-EM study of the human kinetochore
Our research is focused on understanding the mechanisms and regulation of chromosome segregation in mitosis. During the cell cycle, accurate chromosome segregation ensures that both daughter cells inherit the correct complement of chromosomes. Read more
Adaptive Interaction Techniques in Mixed Reality
Mixed reality (MR) embeds virtual content in the real world. Many believe MR is the next big ubiquitous computing paradigm that will replace the smartphone – and big tech companies are investing heavily in the development of MR-based headsets. Read more
Automating knowledge synthesis in biomedical literature using AI and language models
Knowledge synthesis can be a slow and cumbersome process but is an essential tool for medical and public health policy-makers. Formal systematic reviews require rigid protocols and extensive human effort from trained professionals, whereas a massive volume of research evidence emerges every year. Read more
Development of PET Radiotracers of AMPA
Our aim is to develop novel Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radiotracers for imaging the brain. PET is a non-invasive molecular imaging technique which enables visualization and quantification of various biological targets in vivo (e.g., receptor, enzyme). Read more
