Introducing Artificial Metalloenzymes to Whole-Cell Biocatalysis

Background. Whole-cell biocatalysis is an attractive and cost-saving alternative to the use of purified enzymes. Given that the range of natural enzymes is limited, the potential of artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) to create biocatalytic novelty is huge. Read more

Targeting the MAPK scaffold protein KSR1 for the treatment of prostate cancer

  Research Group: Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of male cancer deaths. It arises when individual cells escape their normal growth control mechanisms and proliferate in an uncontrolled fashion. Read more

Development of PET Radiotracers of AMPA

Our aim is to develop novel Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radiotracers for imaging the brain. PET is a non-invasive molecular imaging technique which enables visualization and quantification of various biological targets in vivo (e.g., receptor, enzyme). Read more

Structural and Mechanistic Characterisation of Bacterial Natural Product Targets

Natural products are a vital source of medicines and agrichemicals. For example, over 70% of the antibiotics on the World Health Organisation’s list of essential medicines are derived from natural sources (plants, bacteria or fungus). Read more

Exploring patient safety incident investigation capability and capacity in healthcare.

Project Description. Background. Patient safety incidents are often caused by multi-faceted factors originating across the whole ecology of healthcare and are intrinsic to its properties as a complex adaptive system. Read more

Can dynamic remodelling of fibrin fibres under load account for the remarkable mechanical properties of blood clots?

Please note that this project will be based in the School of Medicine. To fulfil its physiological role as the scaffold of blood clots, fibrin has large extensibility and strain stiffening behaviour, which make it deformable but tough at the same time. Read more

Superselective targeting of cancer and neuronal cells using multivalent lectin-glycan interactions

  Research Group: School of Physics and Astronomy
Are you keen to progress research in glycoscience, at the interface between chemistry, biology and physics, and interested in developing a new type of probes for diagnostics and targeted drug delivery? This project may be for you!. Read more
