The cell membrane as a communication interface - use of minimal systems to study the principles of information transmission by anomalous diffusion
This project is available through the MIBTP programme. The successful applicant will join the MIBTP cohort and will take part in all of the training offered by the programme. For further details. Read more
Elucidating the mechanisms of outer membrane biogenesis in Gram-negative bacteria
The emergence of bacteria that are resistant to available antibiotics represents an enormous and growing global threat requiring new targets and strategies to combat infection. Read more
Development of crystallization methods for integral membrane proteins
Development of crystallization methods for integral membrane proteins. Our research is focused on one of the major barriers in Structural biology. Read more
Membrane protein misfolding and disease: quality control pathways
Misfolded proteins represent a continuous threat to cell viability, and if allowed to accumulate, can disrupt cellular function and induce cell death. Read more
Shedding new light on single protein-lipid membrane interactions
The interaction between proteins and lipid membranes is a fundamental process underpinning key functions in cell biology and the maintenance of life. Read more
In situ HDX-MS of membrane protein-ligand interactions
The project aims to develop an HDX-MS workflow to profile ligand-membrane protein interactions. The identification of hits with high selectivity constitutes an important landmark for the design and development of novel therapeutics. Read more

How do metals cross the bacterial outer membrane?
The micronutrients iron, zinc, copper, cobalt, and manganese play essential roles in the biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorus [1], and ensuring sufficiently high metal quotas is especially critical for photosynthetic organisms. Read more
Membrane-based technologies for gas separation in the power sector
Project Supervisors. Dr Tony Chen, Dr Patricia Gorgojo, Dr Xiaolei Fan. Sulphur hexafluoride (SF. 6. ) is becoming increasingly restricted due to its high global warming potential. Read more
Self-funded project: Sorting old from new: protein assembly and turnover in the Gram-negative outer membrane
Application accepted for either MSc by Research or PhD. Gram-negative bacteria have evolved to survive in diverse ecological niches. Read more
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
