Ion channel signalling in cancer cells
Our cells constantly sense and transport ions present in their environment. From embryonic development to epilepsy to heart disease to cancer, our cells’ ability to respond to changes in the ionic microenvironment is essential for healthy ageing. Read more
Molecular Mechanisms of Receptor and Ion Channel Regulation in Pain and Inflammation
"Receptors and ion channels are responsible for the transmission of signals across cellular membranes that regulate a plethora of biological and cellular functions. Read more
Ion channel regulation in models of neurodegeneration
Ion channels are important regulators of cellular physiology. There is now growing awareness that these proteins are invovled in pathological states, with relation to neurodegeneration voltage-gated potassium and voltage-gated calicum channels have been implicated. Read more
SELF-FUNDED MSC BY RESEARCH: ABCC9 mutations and risk of sudden cardiac death
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an important clinical problem and has a lasting impact on relatives of the deceased, particularly when sudden death occurs… Read more
CaVX – Calcium channels in excitable cells
Students with a keen interest in neuroscience and ion channel research are invited to apply for one of several vacant PhD positions available within the international PhD program CavX – Calcium channels in excitable cells. Read more
Evaluation of cardiac safety features of over-the-counter medications
It is now well-established that a number of prescription medications are linked to a low, but significant risk of alterations to the QT interval of the electrocardiogram and with an associated dangerous arrhythmia called torsades de pointes. Read more
Natural toxins and their synthetic analogues as tools to study ion channels and as potential drugs and pesticides
The project will use a combination of electrophysiological techniques such as voltage-clamp and patch-clamp with molecular biology and protein expression to understand how natural toxins and their synthetic analogues act on ion channels in the nervous system. Read more
Virology: Unique Antiviral Therapy targeting Zika and Related Viruses
Zika Virus (ZIKV) has emerged as a new mosquito-borne threat to public health after the devastating South American outbreak. Read more
SELF-FUNDING MSc BY RESEARCH PROJECT: Cystic fibrosis: restoring ion transport with small molecules
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by dysfunction of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a unique ATP-binding cassette transporter that functions as an ATP-gated anion channel, playing a pivotal role in salt and water movement across epithelial tissues (1). Read more
(EPSRC DTP) Probing structural ensembles of mechanosensitive channel proteins in membranes by PELDOR/DEER spectroscopy, HDX-mass spectrometry and Molecular Dynamics simulations
Mechanosensitive ion channels form pores in the membranes converting mechanical cues into electrical signals. Read more
MSc by Research: Feel the tension – how does S-acylation of OSCA ion channels regulate responses to environmental change in plants?
Plants, being sessile organisms, must sense and respond to environmental change, such as temperature or drought, without being able to move. Read more
Probing structural ensembles of mechanosensitive channels by EPR spectroscopy, HDX-mass spectrometry, Molecular Dynamics and CryoEM
Mechanosensitive ion channels form pores in the membranes converting mechanical cues into electrical signals. Read more
Pathophysiology of red cell membrane permeability
Our project investigates how red cell membrane permeability is altered in pathophysiological states. Read more
Biophysics of mechanotransduction by hair cells
The laboratory of Auditory Neuroscience and Biophysics (. www.kozlovlab.com. ) led by Dr Andriy Kozlov at the Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London, invites applications for a fully funded PhD position, starting in October 2023 or soon thereafter. Read more
Experimental Discovery of New Inorganic Materials with Unique Crystal Structures
The properties of inorganic materials are determined by their crystal structures, and there are often a select few structural families which dominate the application areas for particular properties which can limit performance development. Read more
