Quantum-Integrated Genomic Models for the Advancement in Early Detection and Understanding of Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Developmental disorders (DDs) are defined as a group of conditions manifesting as cognitive, social, and motor dysfunctions The existing literature showcases… Read more
PhD studentship in the field of Multimodal Representation Learning in Biological Data
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship in the field of Multimodal Representation Learning in Biological Data, which will be jointly hosted by Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and the College’s new I-X initiative. Read more
VariantCurator: A “spell-checker” for genomic variant data that will improve diagnostic rates by improving the accuracy of genetic data in clinical literature and increasing the findability of data in historic literature
Rare diseases affect <1-in-2,000 people, but ~8,000 rare genetic diseases impact ~10% of births globally. These arise from variations in patients’ DNA sequences. Read more
The evolution of antibiotic tolerant Staphylococcus aureus cell types during long term colonisation developing into diabetes foot infection.
CONTEXT. Overview of the project. Patients with diabetes have a high risk of a foot ulcer or foot infection. These often re-occur and become chronic. Read more
DNA-bending Proteins for Nanotech
Research Group:
Physics of Life
DNA is the molecule that nature uses as genetic material and it rarely exists in a relaxed state inside cells. Read more
Detecting gravity anomalies in asteroids: application to Hera's radio science
BACKGROUND. An accurate estimation of the density distribution of asteroids is of great interest for both planetary science and defense. Read more
Engineering more water-use efficient crops: functional genomics of CO2 fixation during Crassulacean acid metabolism
The world is getting hotter and drier due to climate change, and the human population is growing rapidly. Furthermore, it has been predicted that we will need to increase crop yields by 50 - 70 % by 2050 in order to feed the predicted 9 - 10 billion people. Read more
Decoding Prokaryotic Adaptive Immunity and Pathways to Therapeutic Innovation
Project Description. Prokaryotes, the microscopic architects of our biosphere, harbor intricate immune systems that stand as the guardians of their genetic sanctity against the incessant assault of phages and other mobile genetic elements. Read more
Building new nano-biosensors for healthcare: Linking biology to the world of carbon nanotechnology through synthetic biology
Project Descriptions. Proteins are nature’s very own molecular machines carrying out functions ranging from catalysis to molecular recognition to energy conversion. Read more
Viral-surface interactions studied by vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy
The recent COVID-19 pandemic, and in particular fomite transmission of the virus, led to a lot of interest in how viral particles attached to surfaces, their survival times on different materials and how they transferred to hosts. Read more
Genetic and acoustic diversity in an invasive parrot
The ring-necked parakeet Psittacula krameri is one of the world’s most successfully introduced species. Native to the Indian sub-continent and sub-Saharan Africa, this species is the UK’s only naturalised parrot, and populations are continuing to increase rapidly across Europe. Read more
Fast Optimisation of Wind and Tidal-Stream Turbine Arrays
Aim of project. To create a fast, efficient, validated software tool for the layout of wind or tidal-stream turbine arrays. Background. Read more
Multifunctional Chemical Probes for Molecular Mapping of Cellular and Subcellular Protein Networks
This project provides an annual stipend of £19,237. Project advert. Understanding the interactions between proteins and their neighbours within an unperturbed biological environment is a significant technical issue in drug discovery and fundamental disease research. Read more
The Role of Neurovascular Potassium Channels in Aging and Alzheimer's Disease
This project provides an annual stipend of £19,237. . Project advert. There are age and sex-differences in the brain’s control of breathing, but the cellular and molecular basis of these differences are largely unknown. Read more
Advanced biomaterial based pharmaceutical formulations
While traditional, small molecule drugs continue to play a significant role due to their oral bioavailability, they also suffer from lower selectivity, frequently accompanied with side-effects. Read more
