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
Synthesis of novel metal chelators against Parkinson’s Disease (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/TETARD)
The involvement of iron in the development of Parkinson’s Disease is now well recognised. Iron seems to be accumulating in the neurons of sufferers and is involved in the formation of reactive oxygen species that cause oxidative damage to neurons, resulting in their death. 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

Exploring novel molecular mechanisms of skeletal muscle disease in diabetes
Are you interested in metabolism and skeletal muscle biology? Are you interested in how muscle is damaged in metabolic disease? Do you want to contribute to the discovery of new therapeutics for muscle dysfunction in diabetes?. 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
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
Discovering exoplanets around compositionally-diverse stars across the Milky Way by mitigating stellar signals
We invite applications from outstanding and highly motivated students for the Warwick Prize Scholarships in Astrophysics. The successful applicant will work with Dr Thomas Wilson within the Astronomy and Astrophysics group in the Department of Physics at the University of Warwick. Read more
Modelling Reversals of Earth's Magnetic Field
A well known characteristic Earth's magnetic field is that it occasionally reverses, so that the magnetic north and magnetic south. Read more
Nitrate supplementation in pregnancy: maternal, fetal and offspring outcomes
Maternal diet has a significant impact on fetal growth and development, as well as pregnancy outcomes and long-term offspring health. Dietary patterns… Read more
Understanding how ethnic differences may influence diabetes diagnosis and control in pregnancy. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2024/25 Entry, PhD in Clinical and Biomedical Sciences
About the GW4 BioMed2 Doctoral Training Partnership. The partnership brings together the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff (lead) and Exeter to develop the next generation of biomedical researchers. Read more

The Contribution of Lattice Vibrations to Switchable Spin-Crossover Crystals
Research Group:
School of Chemistry
Spin-crossover is a high-spin-to-low-spin transition at a transition metal centre, induced by temperature or pressure. It is common in iron chemistry, but also occurs in some compounds of other common metals. Read more
Assessing the Impact of Aggregation-Prone Proteins on the Mitochondrial-Metallome Interplay in a Novel 3D Spheroid Cholinergic Cell Model of Neurodegenerative Disease
Although showing diverse symptoms affecting cognition and movement, the brains of patients with neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) display similar neuropathological features namely protein aggregation within the brain. Read more
Exploring the function of the rhodococcal cell envelope (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/DOVER)
The cell envelope is an important interface through which the bacterial cell interacts with its external environment. For some bacteria that might be the soil, or in the case of pathogens, the human body. Read more
PhD in Chemistry: Computer simulation of metal-amyloid interaction and its role in plaque formation
Alzheimer’s disease is one of the greatest healthcare challenges facing 21st century society. AD is associated with formation of fibrils and plaques in brain tissue that impair proper functioning of neurons. Read more
