Stabilised gold-carbenes: from promising metallodrugs to DNA-asymmetric catalysis
Background. Dr Muñoz will be joining the Chemistry Department at the University of Lancaster at the end of January 2023. Research in. Read more
Silica Coated Gold Nanorods for Combined Photothermal Treatment
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Gold nanoparticle exhibit strong optical absorption due to their localised surface plasmon resonance (SPR). All almost all the energy absorbed at the SPR is converted into heat. Read more
The Influence of hybrid nanoparticle architecture on theranostic abilities in pancreatic cancer
We are looking to recruit a PhD student with a relevant chemical, pharmaceutical, biomedical science or bioengineering background to design and develop novel nanomedicine platforms for chemotherapy. Read more
Ex vivo investigations on the safety and effectiveness of gold nanorods photothermal therapy for liver cancer treatment
Project summary. Recent developments in nanomedicine have demonstrated the effectiveness of gold nanorods (GNRs) as photo-absorbers in enhancing the heat absorption effects during photothermal therapy (PTT) (Khan et al., 2021; Liao et al., 2021; Zong et al., 2021). Read more
Active transport of Gold-coated iron oxide superparamagnetic nanoparticles: A universal delivery vehicle.
The pan-University Graduate School offers an integrated training programme to the postgraduate community within a single centre, serving to inculcate interdisciplinary working in our next generation of researchers. . Read more
Nanoscale boundaries: understanding size effects on the reactivity of ultra-small particles
Background. Nanoscience and nanotechnology explore the special properties and processes that occur in the nanoscale. the size range conventionally considered as 1-100nm. Read more
Second generation nano-carriers for pancreatic cancer therapy
Hybrid iron oxide-gold nanoparticles have been shown to have great potential as theranostic agents for cancer therapy. The iron oxide core can be used for diagnostic imaging using MRI whilst the gold surface possesses unique optimal properties. Read more
A green gold rush? Natural capital investments and implications for communities in the Scottish uplands
Billions of pounds of investment is poised to pour into uplands natural capital projects in Scotland as a result of private and public sector investment in net zero carbon emissions and comparable biodiversity offsets and investment. Read more
Network meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy
With an ever-increasing number of diagnostic tools available, evidence on test accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) is critical. Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP Studentship: Fingerprinting fluid sources in Archean Au deposits using paired stable isotope analysis in tourmaline
Project Background . Orogenic gold or gold-only mineral deposits make up ~30 % of all known Au resources on Earth, including past production. Read more
Team Ethos in Mental Heath Care: a qualitative study of “what good looks like” for mental health team culture in NHS mental health services
Project Highlights. Criticality of topic. NHS priority for research improving mental health services, patient centred-care and effective integrated care. Read more
In utero exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and adverse health outcomes amongst infants: enriching and utilizing a national, linked electronic health record resource
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, over 200 million infants have been born worldwide, of which a significant proportion will have been exposed to maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection in utero. Read more
Functional, gene-nutrient and health effects of sub-optimal riboflavin status in adult populations
Research Group:
Biomedical Sciences
Sub-optimal status of the B-vitamin – riboflavin, although not generally considered to be an issue in the developed world, is much more widespread than generally recognised. Read more
Structural studies to investigate the mechanisms by which splice sites are selected
One of the biggest challenges in molecular biology is presented by the selection of sites for RNA splicing. We cannot overstate its importance or apparent complexity. . Read more
ABM CDT Regenerating the rotator cuff tendon-to-bone interface through biofabrication
Shoulder pain affects approximately 20% of the population at any one time and is mainly caused by tears in the rotator cuff tendon. Read more
