iron PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 23 iron PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Molecular mechanisms of iron related tumourigenesis and cachexia
Hamaratoglu Lab studies cell-cell signalling in development and tumourigenesis. We take advantage of outstanding genetic tools in Drosophila, and use larval imaginal discs as model epithelial organs. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Assessing long-lasting pain following hot-iron disbudding in dairy calves
Although freedom from pain is a key pillar of animal welfare, painful procedures are still common on most dairy farms. For instance, despite being painful1, hot-iron disbudding is still performed on the vast majority of calves. Read more
Understanding Green Steel Production
A PhD studentship is available to study electrolytic reduction of iron to tackle the unique challenges associated with the decarbonisation of the steel… Read more
Elucidating the fate of iron and copper based nanofertilizer in soil-plant system using isotope labelling and synchrotron techniques
Nanotechnology is a rapidly advancing enabling technology with the potential to revolutionize modern life. More recently, the application of nanotechnology in agriculture has garnered significant attention due to its high potential to facilitate sustainable agriculture and enhance food security. 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
Multipurpose gel formulations containing antiretroviral-loaded lactoferrin nanoparticles and antibiotics for combination HIV prevention and treatment of bacterial vaginosis
This is an exemplar PhD project co-supervised by Dr. Sheiliza Carmali (School of Pharmacy) and Prof. Karl Malcolm (School or Pharmacy). Read more
Inducing ferroptotic death to kill cancer cells
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of regulated necrotic cell death triggered by oxidative degradation of lipids in membrane bilayers and subsequent irreparable damages to the plasma membrane (1). Read more
An exploration of the Heart - Liver axis: using MRI to understand how and why measurements taken in the liver relate to adverse cardiovascular outcomes
Commercial partner: Perspectum Ltd. Aim. To determine the pathophysiological mechanisms associated with changes in liver MRI biomarkers, and which relate to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Read more
Modelling the Role of Hard Particles in Hard Facing Alloys
Supervisory Team: Robert Wood, Georges Limbert and Dave Stewart (RRSL). Project description. Hard facing alloys, such as those used in nuclear power plant, are composite materials comprising carbides (and other hard phases), in galling resistant metallic matrices. Read more
Competitive EPSRC funded PhD in Chemistry: Small Molecule Activation and Valorisation Using Low-Coordinate Complexes
Small Molecule Activation and Valorisation Using Low-Coordinate Complexes. Transition metal complexes featuring highly coordinatively and electronically unsaturated centres are challenging synthetic targets, but they show unusual reactivity which stems from their unique coordination environments. Read more
Path to Net-Zero: Designing Cutting-Edge Electrocatalytic Systems for Sustainable Ammonia Synthesis
Ammonia (NH3) is a crucial chemical for modern society, serving as a high-value product and a carbon-free, efficient energy carrier. Read more
Assessment of Soft Magnetic Properties in Amorphous/Nanocrystalline High-Entropy Alloys through Magnetic Mechanism Modulation aimed at Next-Generation Electrical Machines
A key priority of the UK’s sustainability agenda is zero carbon emissions by 2050. To reach this objective, projections suggest that by 2030, 43% of cars on UK roads need to be electrically powered. Read more
Mapping UK’s stakeholder ecosystems of battery technologies and sustaining resilient battery manufacturing supply chains
Currently our world relies heavily on fossil fuels as energy supply. The power sector and the transport system alone account for about 80 percent of the energy mix (IEA, 2022). Read more
Causal risk factors and biological mechanisms for colorectal cancer risk
Rationale. Diet and lifestyle are likely to play an important role in colorectal cancer risk; obesity, low levels of physical activity, red and process meat consumption and low intake of dietary fibre have all been shown to predict colorectal cancer risk. Read more
Glycerol valorisation by clay-supported ruthenium catalysts
The valorisation of glycerol has gained significant recent attention as it is considered as an industrial waste product from biodiesel production. Read more
