MSc by Research: Context is everything – how do plants organise receptor complexes to fight pathogens and mitigate environmental stress?
Climate change is one of the biggest threats to global food production, leading to unpredictable weather patterns and geographical migration of pathogens. Read more
Physics-guided machine learning of the immune receptor code
3-year PhD Studentship in Computational Immunology. Physics-guided machine learning of the immune receptor code. The immune system keeps a record of past infections. Read more
Investigating the interactions of incretin hormone mimetics with hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system arginine vasopressin and oxytocin release
Our research focus over decades has been the osmoregulatory function of a special collection of neurones in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. Read more
Protecting cells from mechanical stress: A novel role of cell-surface receptor LRP1 in extracellular matrix- nuclei communication.
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
Cellular adaptation to mechanical strain (mechano-adaptation) is increasingly understood to be conferred by Lamin intermediate filament proteins located within the nuclear lamina. Read more
Countering the proteinase-activated receptor 1 (PAR-1) pro-tumour phenotype using a novel nanotherapeutic approach
Proteinase-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) expressed on a number of cell types, and is activated by serine proteases such as thrombin, plasmin and activated protein C. Read more
Characterising Receptor and Ion Channels Signaling in 3D cultures
The molecular mechanisms that regulate receptors and receptor are complex and are often studied in two-dimensional cell culture systems. Read more
Understanding how the bitter taste receptor, T2R38, regulates the intestinal epithelium - a study from microbiota to the intestinal epithelium
Research Group:
Biomedical Research Group
Research Group. Biomedical Research Group. Proposed supervisory team. Dr Havovi Chichger. Theme. Cardiovascular. Summary of the research project. Read more
Investigating platelet signalling and thrombus formation
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in cardiovascular cell biology to work in the group of Dr Natalie Poulter, which focuses on understanding how platelets become activated and form a thrombus. Read more
Modulating platelet reactivity to reduce the risks of heart attacks in acute coronary syndrome patients
Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide accounting for one-third of deaths. Platelets play a central role in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) through the development of arterial thrombosis. Read more
Studying biological variation in the environmental sensor and novel psoriasis drug target Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR): expression, regulation and biomarker potential
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated, chronic inflammatory skin condition due to combination of genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and dysregulated innate and adaptive immune responses (1). Read more

Funded MSc by Research: Uncovering the Pharmacology of GPR75: a Promising G Protein-Coupled Receptor Target for Metabolic Syndrome
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), due to their cell surface expression, their tissue-selective distribution and role in amplifying signalling events make them excellent pharmacological targets, hence over 30% of current approved drugs target GPCRs (1). Read more
Translating protection of cell-surface receptor LRP1 into potential disease-modifying therapies for osteoarthritis.
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
Osteoarthritis (OA) causes pain and disability and is the most prevalent age-related joint disorder worldwide but there are no disease-modifying drugs available. Read more
Preparing the acid bath: how epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) controls its own down-regulation
Signalling by cell surface receptors determines nearly every aspect of the cell’s response to its environment. Endosomes are hubs for regulating these signalling pathways. Read more
Indentifying the regulators of the Estrogen Receptor in Breast Cancer
Approximately 70% of breast cancer cases are Oestrogen Receptor positive (ER+). In these patients, the ER drives the growth and proliferation of the tumour. Read more
Analysis of pathogen determinants recognized by the hypervariable immune receptor Dscam
Background. To mount an immune response, host organisms must first recognize the pathogen with which they are infected. The first line of defense against pathogen infection in animals is provided through the innate immune response. Read more
