Validation of test strategies for the identification of adverse effects of chemicals on the human fetal ovarian development
The European FREIA project. , which both supervisors are part of, is specifically designed to address how female reproductive health can be safeguarded from endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Read more
Metal-based DNA Hybrid Nanomaterials
We are currently recruiting a candidate to undertake fundamental studies in the design and intrinsic self-assembly of DNA in the presence of metals for next-generation sensors and drug delivery systems. Read more
In silico dynamic thermography on a human skin digital twin for the identification of new biomarkers in skin cancer detection
Project summary. Infrared thermography has demonstrated great potential in disease screening and detection, with applications in vascular disorder diagnostics, breast cancer detection, fever screening and dermatology. Read more
Exploring the interplay of dynamic protein modifications in human (patho) physiology
Proteins are extensively regulated by dynamic, often reversible post-translational modifications (PTMs). This process allows cells to respond rapidly to environmental factors, be that e.g. Read more
Using markers of gene evolutionary age to identify function within gene regulatory networks related to embryo implantation
Healthy ageing starts from conception. Environmental influences during early development affect the risk of developing chronic diseases in later life and impact a healthy ageing trajectory. Read more
Identification of novel cortical interneuron regulators implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders
Despite representing only ~20% of the entire neuronal population in the neocortex, the GABAergic (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) inhibitory interneurons play a pivotal role in most cortical functions. Read more

SFI Centre for Research Training in Genomic Data Science: Multi-Omic prediction of treatment induced vulnerabilities to develop more effective treatments for Colorectal Cancer
Research Group:
The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research
Start date. 1 September 2022. Large scale functional genomics screens using genome-wide CRISPR screens have enabled the identification of cancer-specific vulnerabilities or “synthetic lethalities” (SLs) at an unprecedented scale. Read more
An AI all-weather look-out for autonomous marine navigation
Autonomous maritime navigation is set to transform the maritime industry providing consistent, continuous and cost-effective navigation free from human error. Read more
The anti-cancer activity of Croton fishlockii used as a medicinal plant in traditional herbal medicines.
Within the sphere of cancer chemotherapy, many commercialised drugs have been obtained by the synthesis of new compounds, from natural sources or by structural modification of natural products. Read more
An omics approach to understand and treat KMT2C-related neurodevelopmental disorder using induced pluripotent stem cells and CRISPR-Cas9
Background. We recently identified a novel human syndrome caused by mutations in a gene called KMT2C1. Patients with this condition predominantly have developmental delay and intellectual disability indicating the important function of this gene in brain’s normal development and function. Read more
Investigating the pathogenesis of human papillomavirus (HPV) in anal cancers
Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with ~5% of all human cancers, in particular cervical cancer. Whilst less common, HPV is also associated with the vast majority (~93%) of anal cancers in the UK. Read more
BBSRC MIBTP - Identification of pathways deregulating neuronal ELAV/Hu RNA binding proteins and alternative splicing in neurodegeneration
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
ELAV/Hu proteins comprise a family of highly conserved neuronal RNA binding proteins important for the development of the nervous system and for neuronal functions. Read more
Innovative methods of identifying toxigenic fungi in Irish cereal grain, to protect human and animal food chains
Project aims. The overarching aim is to develop new tools for improved monitoring and prediction of toxigenic fungal and mycotoxin contamination of cereals produced on the Island of Ireland. Read more
Identification of cis- and trans-acting genetic modifiers of somatic expansion as novel therapeutic targets in the repeat expansion disorders
At least 40 human disorders, including Huntington disease and myotonic dystrophy, are caused by the expansion of a simple sequence repeat [1]. Read more
MSc by Research: Identification of a serum-transferrable factor in helminth infections that prevents respiratory viral infection
In the developing world, parasitic helminths infect a large proportion of the population – up to 1 billion people are infected with soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections worldwide. Read more
