Finding the cause of familial facial (Bell’s) palsy

The facial (VII) cranial nerve controls the muscles of facial expression, supplies taste sensation to parts of the tongue and controls a small muscle connected to the ear drum. Bell’s palsy is the clinical condition in which there is impaired function of the facial nerve, associated with facial muscle weakness.

Genetics: Investigating the functional effect of novel genes and genetic variants in malignant hyperthermia susceptibility using model systems

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is an inherited condition, where patients exposed to anaesthetic drugs are susceptible to a dramatic hyperthermic and hypermetabolic response that can contribute to a significant proportion of post-operative morbidity and deaths. Read more

Dysfunctional antifungal potency of the respiratory mucosa in COPD

Inhalation of Aspergillus fumigatus spores cause >3,000,000 chronic and >200,000 invasive diseases annually worldwide. Invasive aspergillosis carries a 50% mortality rate overall, but mortality rate approaches 100% if diagnosis is delayed or missed and it is >75% in certain cohorts of patients, such as COPD sufferers.

Machine learning to predict blood function – towards better haematology analysis

Blood represents a complex mixture of blood cells, plasma proteins, hormones, lipids, salts and water. Blood is good indicator of health, and clinically, blood samples are taken frequently to monitor health, risk of disease or success of treatments. Read more

Advanced Biosensors for dementia biomarker detection

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship to join the Advanced Biosensing group led by Dr Bing Li at the Institute for Materials Discovery (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/institute-for-materials-discovery/), University College London. Read more

Using supermarket loyalty cards data to study reproductive health

Rationale. Shopping history records collected by supermarkets contain population level health information which could be missing from traditional health research data such as medical records. Read more

Join Our Team: Fully Funded 4-Year PhD Position in Cognitive and Social Neuroscience

We are recruiting a 4-year PhD student (fully funded) focusing on cognitive and social neuroscience. The project focuses on the exploration of interpersonal synchrony, aiming to understand the mechanism of governing self and coordinating with others. Read more

Large Language Modeling (LMM) for unstructured dialogues

Language models such as ChatGPT have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their ability to generate human-like text and assist with a wide range of natural language processing tasks. Read more

Three-Dimensional Microfluidics for High Throughput Reactions and Bioassays

High-throughput reactions and bioassays allow cost-effective testing of large libraries of bio/chemical molecules for drug discovery, disease diagnosis, and industrial biotechnology. Read more

Assessing the molecular mechanisms by which Cathepsin V promotes breast cancer growth and metastasis

Targeted therapies such as tamoxifen, fulvestrant and anastrozole have exhibited significant clinical success since being introduced as treatments for Estrogen Receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer patients. Read more

Investigating monogenic disorders of the protein synthesis machinery

Translation of mRNA into proteins is a critical cellular biological process. We recently described a novel human disorder, now called Faundes-Banka Syndrome (FABAS), caused by heterozygous variants in EIF5A1 that encodes a translation factor. Read more
