[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] Treatment Planning of FLASH Delivery of Cancer Therapy with Focussed Very High Energy Electron Beams

The University of Manchester
Department of Physics and Astronomy
The global burden of cancer continues to increase, with more than 500,000 new cases predicted annually in the UK by 2040. Radiotherapy remains a cornerstone of cancer treatment, but irradiation of healthy tissue surrounding or traversed by the tumour remains a significant limitation. Read more

[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] Molecular Quantum Sensors for High-Resolution Immunomagnetic Mapping of Cancer Cells

The University of Manchester
Department of Chemistry
How precisely can we map molecular markers on a cancer cell? This question is important because the behaviour of cancer cells depends not only on which biomarkers they express and at what levels, but also on where those molecules are located within the cells and how that changes their distribution within their local environment.

[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] Interdisciplinary Methods for Liquid Crystal-Based Biosensing

The University of Manchester
Department of Mathematics
Liquid crystals (LCs) are exceptionally versatile and functional mesophases that combine fluidity with the ordering of solids. LCs have tremendous potential as low-cost and non-invasive bio-sensors and have been used to sense glucose, proteins, enzymes, cells, micromolecules etc. Read more

[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] Sensing sound: Additive manufacturing enabled metallic metamaterials for enhanced acoustic perception

The University of Manchester
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Sound is fundamental to how people sense, interpret and respond to the world. Yet hearing needs vary between individuals because ear-canal geometry, hearing ability and the sounds that are most important for communication vary from person to person. Read more

[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] Mechanochromic molecules for cellular forces sensing

The University of Manchester
Department of Chemistry
Tensile forces influence a variety of important cellular processes including cell division, stem cell differentiation and gene expression.1 At the tissue level these forces play a crucial role in morphogenesis, wound healing, the immune response and in pathological processes such as cancer metastasis.

[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] Engineering chemical probes to sense dynamic molecular neighbourhoods in living cells

The University of Manchester
Department of Chemistry
How can we measure the fleeting molecular neighbourhoods that control signalling inside living cells?. Proximity-labelling methods provide a powerful way to address this problem by converting spatial proximity into a permanent chemical tag that can subsequently be detected by imaging or proteomics.

[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] Synthetic Polymers to Stabilise Sensing Proteins into Membrane Nanodiscs

The University of Manchester
Department of Chemistry
Membrane proteins are essential components of cells, allowing them to sense and communicate across their outermost barrier. Ion channels translate chemical and physical signals into cellular responses and are consequently major therapeutic targets and candidates for incorporation into synthetic cells. Read more

[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] Geospatial foundation modelling to improve agricultural monitoring in smallholder farming systems

The University of Manchester
Department of Civil Engineering and Management
Satellite remote sensing is revolutionising agricultural monitoring. However, smallholder farms - which produce a third of the world's food - remain challenging to monitor using Earth Observation (EO) because fields are small and irregular, cropping diverse and mixed, cloud cover persistent, and reference data scarce.
