(PDS) How membrane dynamics integrate mechanical and biochemical signals to orchestrate cell behaviour

Project and objectives. Cells continually sense the biochemical and physical properties of their surroundings, including extracellular-matrix composition and mechanics, soluble growth factors and inflammatory cytokines. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr P Caswell, Dr M Domingos, Dr TZ Zacharchenko, Dr C Ballestrem

(PDS) Sensing and Navigating Living Microenvironments for Precision Cancer Models

Living tissues are complex, dynamic environments that constantly move and change shape. This presents a major challenge when researchers need to accurately position miniature instruments, deliver cells or treatments, or perform other precise interventions within small and difficult-to-access organs.

MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: Targeting the senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP) as a strategy to ameliorate the burden of age-related fibrotic disease

This project will investigate how ageing cells contribute directly to fibrosis, a major feature of many age-related diseases. Senescent cells accumulate with age because they are no longer efficiently removed by the immune system. Read more

MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: Restoring Anti Tumour Immunity by Disrupting Myeloid Driven Immunosuppressive Pathways in Cholangiocarcinoma

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive cancer of the bile ducts with a survival rate below 10% over five years. This project focuses on understanding why immune checkpoint blockade therapies, such as durvalumab, have limited success in treating CCA. Read more

ACCE+ DLA programme: Enhancing detections of invertebrates to improve biosecurity in the South Atlantic

Interested in invertebrates, invasive species and islands in the South Atlantic? This PhD project gives you all three. The cheapest and most efficient way to prevent invasions by terrestrial invertebrates, is to prevent introduction and establishment of the species in the wider environment. Read more

ACCE+ DLA programme: Dominance hierarchies, complex signalling and mating strategies in the endangered endemic mountain nyala antelope of Ethiopia and implications for population viability

BACKGROUND. Uncovering individual differences in behavioural strategies and their causes allows us to improve population dynamic models by reducing the fuzziness that currently arises from dismissing variation in reproduction and survival as random noise. Read more
