The potential role of microplastics in antimicrobial resistance and virulence phenotypes of human-associated microbes
Research Group:
Biomedical Sciences
Microplastics (MPs) are universal pollutants affecting all forms of life on the planet. Humans consume up to 100,000 MP particles each year which continuously accumulate in different organs of the body. Read more
Gene regulation in human development
A PhD project studying gene regulation in human organoids is available in the laboratory of Dr. Fiona Wardle (https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/wardle-group) in the Randall Centre for Cell and Molecular Biophysics, King’s College London. Read more
Epigenetics of early human development: From molecular mechanisms to regenerative medicine
The 46th chromosome in XX female mammals, the second X, has to be switched off. That way females equalize gene dosage of X-linked genes with XY males. Read more
Genetic and molecular underpinnings of obesity - using veterinary models for insight into human disease
Why are some individuals prone to obesity and yet others stay lean in an obesogenic environment? Obesity is highly heritable as are related metabolic traits. Read more
Project at University of Surrey: Beyond bone health: How does vitamin D protect our DNA?
This exciting collaborative project between the Universities of Surrey and Reading offers you the opportunity to develop multidisciplinary skills in research studying a novel mechanism of action of vitamin D in human health. Read more

Molecular mechanisms of the increase in maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) with regular exercise
Research Group:
PENRG - Physiology Exercise and Nutrition Research Group
Performing regular exercise is crucial for good health and wellbeing, whereas failing to perform sufficient exercise increases the risk of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, etc. Read more
Functional Tissue Derivatives Derived from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells provide Innovative Opportunities for Stem Cell Science
Human pluripotent stem cells and their derivatives offer huge potential for basic research and strategies for regenerative medicine as a renewable resource, to replace primary donor cells. Read more
Pollinators connecting people in rural environment: more-than-human and community-led approaches
We are seeking 6 Leverhulme doctoral scholars for the second cohort of the "Sustainable Rural Futures Programme" (SURF) at Keele University. Read more
Female-specific physiological responses to exercise in the heat (Ref: SSEHS/SR25)
This project proposes a timely investigation into the impacts of rising global temperatures on female exercisers. Read more

Uncovering molecular drivers of Chromosomal Instability seen in aggressive cancers
Primary Supervisor: Prof Viji Draviam. Co-Supervisor(s): Dr Elisabeth Busch-Nentwich. Funding: China Scholarship Council (CSC). Read more
(BBSRC NWD CASE) Spatial proteomic profiling of human meniscus to inform development of bioprinted meniscal tissue analogues
Over 1.5 million people across the USA and Europe suffer from injuries to the knee meniscus which can significantly reduce their mobility and quality of life. Read more
Characterisation of the impact of NICD S2513 mutation on human segmentation using iPS derived somitoids
During early development cells differentiate into the different cell types required to form the tissues that make up the embryo. Research into human embryological development is challenging for practical and ethical reasons. Read more
