Iron Biology
We study how iron and anaemia influence immunity and infectious diseases. Our research inspires therapies that control iron physiology to improve immunity, combat infections and treat disorders of iron metabolism. Read more

Nutritional immunity: the battle for iron between host and pathogen
The innate immune defence system responds to bacterial infection by reducing the amount of available iron to restrict bacterial growth. Read more
Understanding the role of microorganisms in the formation of iron sulfides in the sedimentary record
Research Group:
Molecular Environmental Sciences
The iron sulfide mineral greigite, Fe. 3. S. 4. , is found widely in nature, especially in sulfate-reducing diagenetic sedimentary environments. Read more
The relationship between dietary micronutrients (e.g. iron, zinc and vitamins), and the gut microbiota: Can dietary micronutrient regime be exploited to support gut health?
The gut microbiota has a significant influence on host health, including nutrition, development of the immune system, infection… Read more
Development of Understanding of the effects of Laser Cladding on Novel Iron- Based Hardfacing Materials
Nuclear power plants are complex engineering structures with a multitude of different components required to make them operate. One area that rarely hits the headlines, but it fundamental to the operation of the plant, is tribological components such as valves and pumps. Read more
Design and synthesis of novel iron chelators as a therapy for thalassaemia patients.
Iron overload can be a huge issue for people coping with thalassaemia. This project will involve the synthesis of novel ion chelators that are effective and ultimately exhibit less side-effects of existing treatments. Read more
Studying of cancer biology with doped magnetic nanomaterials to unravelling their thermal therapeutic potentials
Cancer has a major impact on society, this is reflected by the large number of newly diagnosed cases (375,400 annually for the years 2015-2018 in the UK, i.e. Read more
Building a barrier to arsenic accumulation in rice
Applications are invited for a fully funded, 42 month PhD studentship commencing in October 2022 at the University of Aberdeen, as part of The newly established. Read more
Proteomic response to amyloid oligomers within a 3D Parkinson's disease model
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that worsens as cells within the brain region known as the substantia nigra are lost over time. Read more
The Influence of hybrid nanoparticle architecture on theranostic abilities in pancreatic cancer
We are looking to recruit a PhD student with a relevant chemical, pharmaceutical, biomedical science or bioengineering background to design and develop novel nanomedicine platforms for chemotherapy. Read more
EngD in Increasing the Use of Scrap Steel - Challenges and Opportunities
Research Group:
Advanced Metallic Systems Centre for Doctoral Training
This project is based at the Department of Materials at the University of Sheffield, and is sponsored by Rolls Royce. We are seeking a UK national or candidate with Indefinate Leave to Remain in the UK, with a 2.1 or 1st class degree in a STEM discipline. Read more
Second generation nano-carriers for pancreatic cancer therapy
Hybrid iron oxide-gold nanoparticles have been shown to have great potential as theranostic agents for cancer therapy. The iron oxide core can be used for diagnostic imaging using MRI whilst the gold surface possesses unique optimal properties. Read more
Anaemia of Chronic Kidney Disease: An All-Wales primary and secondary care prevalence and incidence study
Aim. The project will investigate the prevalence of ACKD in Wales across primary and secondary care. It will follow patients with CKD G3-5 to explore the association between ACKD and hospitalisation and mortality. Read more
Nutrient-Mediated Delivery of ‘Dual Warhead’ Antimicrobials
Nutrient-Mediated Delivery of ‘Dual Warhead’ Antimicrobials. Professor Anne-Kathrin Duhme-Klair, Dr Anne Routledge and Dr Angela Oates (HYMS). Read more
