Redefining the origin of life:(Photo)electrochemistry at subfreezing conditions
The origin of life remains one of the greatest and most controversial problems of science. Since 1953, when Miller and Urey performed their now-famous experiment, the scientific community has been strongly divided over whether life arose on Earth under hot-start or cold-start scenarios. Read more
Fully Funded PhD Studentship: Understanding the consequences of steam formation for the sealing performance of barrier bentonites
Importance of the Research Area. The long-term geological disposal of radioactive waste is an ongoing challenge. Read more
Inter- and intra-cellular signalling in the development of fibrosis in the hypertensive heart
Project Overview. Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In terms of volume, the normal heart is composed mostly of terminally-differentiated contractile cells (cardiomyocytes), responsible for the pump action of the heart. Read more
Artificial Spectroscopy for Open-Ended Artificial Chemistries
Life itself is a highly evolved complex system, which makes it difficult to disentangle its necessary properties (eg, its information processing needs) from its contingent properties (eg, its embodiment in a specific physico-chemical substrate). Read more
Origins of life systems chemistry at King’s College London
Applications are invited from PhD candidates to join the chemical origin of life laboratory at the Department of Chemistry at King’s College London (KCL). Read more

(BBSRC DTP) The timing and modes of macroevolutionary change: molecules, morphology, and simulations
Macroevolution occurs over time spans of millions of years. Two approaches can be taken in identifying and understanding macroevolutionary patterns and processes - empirical and theoretical. Read more
Personality traits and cognitive abilities in captive-bred North African houbara bustard. Psychology – PhD (Funded)
Location. Department of Psychology, Streatham Campus, Exeter. Read more
Using markers of gene evolutionary age to identify function within gene regulatory networks related to embryo implantation
Healthy ageing starts from conception. Environmental influences during early development affect the risk of developing chronic diseases in later life and impact a healthy ageing trajectory. Read more
The role of UV exposure and novel compounds on the immunogenicity and genotoxicity of skin cancer
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
The major aims of this project are to investigate the effect of UV in the development of different skin cancers compared to spontaneously regressing precancerous lesion, keratoacanthoma; and the effect of a novel compounds such as the structurally modified retinoic acid in the treatment of skin cancers and other cutaneous lesions.

SELF-FUNDING MSc BY RESEARCH PROJECT: Maturing human stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes to provide improved models of arrhythmia
Abstract. Cardiac arrhythmias are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Arrhythmias occur when the normal flow of electricity in the heart becomes disordered. Read more
