Precise, peptide-directed loading of drugs onto therapeutic antibodies for targeted imaging and treatment of tumors.
The PhD project aims to develop a non-covalent technology for loading small molecules and therapeutic enzymes onto monoclonal antibodies thus addressing issues in preparations of antibody-drug conjugates, such as poor yields and non-specific conjugation of the drugs resulting in compromised immunoaffinity.

Peptide hydrogels as a long-acting multipurpose drug delivery platform for combined contraception and HIV prevention
HIV/AIDS is the leading cause of death in women of reproductive age worldwide. HIV and unintended pregnancies are prevalent in developing nations due to the lack of effective female contraceptive choice. Read more
Investigation into the in-vitro lung deposition of liposomal formulations of the dual fixed-dose combination inhaler
Research Group:
Medicines Development and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are diseases associated with the airflow in the lungs (WHO, 2013). Inhalation is the most effective route of administration for treating asthma and COPD (Labiris and Dolovich, 2003). Read more

Psychedelic drugs and serotonergic modulation of functional connectivity in cortical microcircuits
Psychoactive drugs result in profound alterations of our state of consciousness. Well known examples of such drugs are general anaesthetics, in use since mid-19th century, and psychedelics, which are consumed from times immemorial. Read more
PhD Research Scholarship Opportunity in NMR analysis of illicit drugs
We’re looking for a highly-motivated PhD applicant to join our multi-disciplinary team, to work on developing a field-invariant NMR spectroscopy database for the analysis of illicit drugs. Read more
Advanced manufacturing of paediatric formulations with poorly water soluble drugs
This project employs an advanced manufacturing technique, microwave-induced in situ amorphization, in combination with a wide range of characterization techniques to tackle the consistent stability issue of amorphous solid dispersions as a means of improving the dissolution performance of paediatric personalised formulations with poorly water soluble drugs. . Read more
Formulation of poorly-soluble drugs
Poorly water-soluble drugs is an important class of pharmaceutical compounds that are finding numerous applications for the therapy of different pathological conditions. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Global patterns of polydrug use and its impact on HIV, hepatitis C and overdose
People who inject drugs carry a disproportionate burden of disease related to HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and therefore, represent a key target group in prevention efforts and in the global agenda to eliminate these infections by 2030, led by the World Health Organisation. Read more
Exploring the influence of proteogenomics in patients receiving biologic drugs for treatment of psoriatic arthritis
Background. Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory arthritis, associated with the chronic skin condition psoriasis, which causes joint inflammation. Read more
Developing approaches to rapidly detect novel psychoactive substances
The University of Bath is inviting applications for the following PhD project commencing in October 2022. Intended Supervisory Team. Read more
Targeting Integrin Linked kinase (ILK) in Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and lethal brain tumour in adults, and current treatment options are not very effective. There is an urgent need to find new targets for therapeutic intervention. Read more
Mathematical models for preclinical drug trials: small molecule drugs and antibody drug conjugates
Preclinical evaluation of drug efficacy plays a fundamental role in the development of cancer treatments, with the aim being to evaluate drug action and anti-tumour effect. Read more

Towards new drugs and diagnostics for tuberculosis: Elucidating and exploiting essential pathways in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogen
This project is available through the MIBTP programme. The successful applicant will join the MIBTP cohort and will take part in all of the training offered by the programme. Read more
Towards new antibacterial drugs to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria: identification and characterization of novel natural product antibiotics
Antibiotics make possible the treatment and cure of life-threatening bacterial infections. Since their introduction in the middle years of the 20th Century, they have added ~10 years to the human lifespan, and have become a cornerstone of modern medicine. Read more
Mechanisms of resistance to anticancer drugs that define heterogeneity of cancer cell populations
Fully funded PhD study. Development of resistance to chemotherapy is a leading cause of treatment failure. Drug-resistance mechanisms typically involve mutations in specific proteins or changes in their levels of expression. Read more
