Identification of Neuropeptide-gated Ion Channels in Nematode Parasites
Neurotransmitter-gated ion channels represent well-established anthelmintic targets, yet many ion channel families remain underexploited for nematode parasite… 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
Protein Biochemistry
Insect odorant receptors are a unique class of protein complexes evolved for odour sensing, with strong potential for electronic nose technology. Read more
Deciphering the role of the intracellular domains of P2X7 in coupling to downstream signalling
P2X7 receptors are ion channels that are found on the surface of immune cells, where they respond to the binding of extracellular ATP, a damage signal released by dying cells in infection and injury. Read more
Mechanistic understanding of cancer drug induced cardiotoxicity using patient derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived cardiomyocytes
Background. Cardiovascular disease is the number one non-cancer cause of death in cancer survivors, attributable to side-effects of cancer medications routinely given to patients. Read more
Understanding why cardiovascular dysfunction is one of the leading causes of mortality in patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver disease (NAFLD)
Background. Liver disease accounts for 3.5% of all global deaths/year (~2 million people) and is the third leading cause of premature death in the UK with some of the highest hospitalisations in the country seen in areas of socioeconomic deprivation. Read more
Development of Positive Allosteric Modulators of P2X4 for the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
Development of Positive Allosteric Modulators of P2X4 for the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis. The Project. Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects millions of people world-wide. Read more

What role do potassium ions play in the trafficking and function of proteins in the endocytic pathway?
Research Group:
School of Molecular and Cellular Biology
What role do potassium ions play in the regulation of the endocytic pathway?. The endocytic pathway plays a central role in cellular physiology. Read more
Self funded BMS Project: Harnessing ion channels in immune cells to promote tumour suppression
Applications accepted for PhD Only. A complex network of interactions between different immune cell subsets orchestrates timely and tightly controlled immune responses. Read more
Molecular Modelling of P2X receptor function
P2X receptors (P2XR) are a family of ligand-gated ion channels. P2XRs are activated upon binding of extracellular ATP and allow the influx of small cations after channel opening. Read more
Pathophysiology of red cell membrane permeability
Our project investigates how red cell membrane permeability is altered in pathophysiological states. Read more
EPSRC Science and Engineering studentships available at the University of Sussex
The University of Sussex invites applications for EPSRC Doctoral Training Partnership PhD Studentship awards within and across the following disciplines. Read more
Development of Spin based Transistors with 2D Materials
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Nanoscience
Over the past few decades, size of transistors has been tremendously reduced from a few centimetres to a few tens of nanometres. This trend in down scaling the device size has almost reached its ultimate physical limitation, challenging Moore’s Law which has been valid for almost half a century. Read more
