The role of extracellular vesicles in lung epithelial cell communication in health and disease
It is estimated that more than 1 bn people suffer from acute and chronic lung problems resulting in millions of deaths every year. Read more
Palliative care needs of patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Lung Cancer in North Lancashire and South Cumbria
This exciting funded PhD project, supervised by experienced clinical academics is based at Lancaster University and will research health services in North Lancashire and South Cumbria. Read more
Cancer biology: identification of new treatment options for EML4-ALK driven lung cancer through understanding mechanisms of cell division and migration.
Lung cancer is the largest cause of cancer-related deaths in the UK and worldwide. While little progress has been made in long-term survival rates, we now have a good understanding of the genetic drivers raising the prospect of earlier diagnosis and more effective treatments. Read more
Fully funded PhD studentship - Misprogramming of mesenchymal progenitor cells in human lung fibrosis
Faculty of Medicine. Main Supervisor. Dr Mark Jones. Other members of the supervisory team. Prof Donna Davies, Dr Yihua Wang, Dr Rob Ewing. Read more
Medicinal Chemistry Project: Synthesis of novel small molecules for the potential treatment of the asbestos induced lung cancer mesothelioma
The Project. In developing a new therapeutic agent, there are two questions to address. how to get the potential drug to the specific site in the body where it is needed and second, does it do what we want it to do at the target site and without undesirable side effects. Read more
Investigation into the in-vitro lung deposition of liposomal formulations of the dual fixed-dose combination inhaler
Research Group:
Medicines Development and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are diseases associated with the airflow in the lungs (WHO, 2013). Inhalation is the most effective route of administration for treating asthma and COPD (Labiris and Dolovich, 2003). Read more
Basal stem cells in the lung and their recognition of dying cells
Stem cell division and differentiation is critical for barrier repair following inflammation, but the initial trigger for this process is unknown. Read more
Arts in health in the self-management of chronic respiratory disease
Arts in Health participation is recognised by the World Health Organisation as being beneficial to holistic health outcomes. Read more
Environmental control of dendritic cell activation and function during pulmonary type 2 inflammation
Type 2 inflammation is a defining feature of infection with parasitic worms (helminths), as well as being responsible for widespread suffering in allergies. Read more
PhD Studentship in Computational airways simulations and multi-modal analyses in respiratory disease
Applications are invited from candidates with a Master’s degree (Merit and above) in applied mathematics, biomedical engineering, or systems biology for a 3-year PhD. Read more
Investigation of volatile signalling molecules from interactions between Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans in lung infection
Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans are commensal microbes which can become pathogenic and cause serious illness, especially in hospitalised patients. Read more
Macrophage-bacteria interactions in Cystic Fibrosis: The Cellular microbiology of the novel opportunistic bacterium achromobacter species
Chronic infection and persistent inflammation in people with cystic fibrosis (PWCF) lead to progressive lung damage. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Development of a cheap sensitive blood test for early detection of brain metastasis using fluorescent carbon dots and nanophotonics
Development of a cheap sensitive blood test for early detection of brain metastasis using fluorescent carbon dots and nanophotonics. Read more
Determining how immune responses are regulated at mucosal surfaces
The immune system must be primed to quickly respond to infection, but must also be tightly regulated so it ignores harmless substances and our own tissues. Read more
Antifungal potency of the airway epithelium in health and disease
Human lungs must balance elimination of a myriad of toxic or pathogenic particles inhaled daily with maintenance of tissue homeostasis to avoid lung disease and ultimately respiratory failure. Read more
