Engineering Stomatal Dynamics: Cell Wall Architecture, Remodelling and Deformation

How do plants control their stomata, the microscopic pores that determine how much CO₂ they take up and how much water they lose? Stomata open and close rapidly, requiring guard cells to undergo dramatic changes in shape and volume and the cell wall surrounding these cells must simultaneously be strong enough to constrain their shape and sufficiently dynamic to allow movement.

Multi-wavelength Raman spectroscopy for non-invasive differentiation of ageing and metabolic risk signatures in blood plasma and saliva

Project Description. Could a simple saliva sample one day replace a blood test for health screening? This PhD project uses a laser-based technique called Raman spectroscopy, which reveals a chemical "fingerprint" of a biological sample without needles, chemical labels or lengthy lab processing.

Bioactive Edible Films as Delivery Systems for Sea Buckthorn Phenolics: Gastrointestinal Fate, Microbial Biotransformation and Gut Microbiome Modulation

Project Description. Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) is rich in phenolic compounds with antioxidant and antimicrobial activity, but their biological effects depend strongly on how they are released, transformed and metabolised during digestion. Read more

Should I stay or should I go? How do immune cells know when to leave sites of tissue damage?

Cancer, neurodegeneration and COPD are all associated with chronic inflammation, leading to tissue damage and disease. However, failures of immune cells to respond or remain at injuries leaves patients exposed to infection and compromises regeneration. Read more
