The development of bacteriophage as bionanoparticles for gene therapy
Gene therapy is at the forefront of innovations in healthcare. The key unmet need for transformative exploitation of gene therapy is to deliver genes to the correct tissue safely and with efficacy. Read more
Peptide-based nanoparticles for brain targeted gene delivery
Gene therapy has the potential to provide therapeutic benefit to millions of people with neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Delivery into the brain is hampered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits the efficacy of both conventional and novel therapies at the target site. Read more
Pioneering a novel cancer targeting glyco-immunotherapy strategy
Background. Human cells are coated in a thick layer of sticky sugars called the glycocalyx. Uniquely cancer cells are covered with an excess of the human ‘sialic acid’ sugar Neu5Ac, and this has been shown to ‘camouflage’ the cells from the immune system. Read more

BBSRC PhD Studentship in “Cryogenic electron microscopy-based understanding of viral vector heterogeneity to aide process development"
About the Project. Viral vectors can be used as oncolytic viruses, gene-based vaccines, and gene therapy vectors. However, as highlighted by the adverse reactions observed with the recent ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine and gene therapy trials, gaps remain in our understanding of these products. Read more

Gene therapy for Alkaptonuria
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
Alkaptonuria (AKU) is caused by deficient activity of the enzyme HGD, resulting from over 200 mutations in the HGD gene loci, leading to the accumulation of a tyrosine metabolite called homogentisic acid (HGA). Read more
Modulation of the Hippo signalling pathway to enhance cardiac regenerative capacity
Common heart diseases such as heart failure (HF) and coronary heart disease (CHD) are characterized by cardiomyocyte loss due to necrosis and apoptosis. Read more
OP2343 Can we reverse climate change by changes in carbon capture enzymes?
NERC ONE Planet DTP. Rising CO2 concentration in the atmosphere and oceans is among the major drivers of current climate change and a threat to humanity as we know it. Read more
BBSRC White Rose DTP Studentship - In vivo investigation of spontaneous activity in the prehearing mammalian auditory system
Sound is detected by extremely sensitive sensory cells, called hair cells, located in the inner ear. Hair cells transduce acoustic information (e.g. Read more

Marie Sklodowska-Curie ReWIRE Research Assistant. Job ID. 059046. Salary. £41,474 per annum, salary is inclusive of mobility and family allowance. Read more
Unravelling the role of interneurons in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
In ALS, motoneuron degeneration leads to muscle paralysis. Motoneurons are the final output of the brain since they directly connect to muscles, but their synchronized activation depends on networks of spinal interneurons. Read more
How do plants regulate root development in response to soil stresses? Role of VAMP family proteins and their interactors in signalling
The aim of the project is to improve our understanding of the molecular basis of plant responses to salinity (salt) stress. Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Modelling posterior segment eye structures to facilitate surgical training and advanced therapeutics of blinding retinal diseases
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the developed world, with the number of affected patients predicted to be 288 million by 2040. Read more
