Evolution of Mammalian Locomotion
A PhD opportunity is available in the lab of Dr. Katrina Jones at the University of Manchester. The lab studies the evolution of mammalian locomotion drawing from methods in comparative anatomy, biomechanics, paleobiology, and evolutionary modelling. Read more
Prostate cancer signalling to the bone micro-environment - from molecular characterization to potential novel therapies.
About the Project. Prostate cancer is responsible for over 52,000 cancer diagnoses within the UK per annum, and is the most common cancer in males, accounting for 27% of all new cancer cases diagnosed within men in 2016-2017. Read more
Characterization of the molecular mechanisms of breast cancer metastasis to bone: from basic research to biomarkers
About the Project. Breast cancer is responsible for over 300,000 cancer diagnoses within the UK per annum, and it is estimated that one in 7 women will develop breast cancer. Read more
Deep Learning and Image Analysis for Paintings and Drawings
This project aims at using advanced deep learning based computer vision algorithms to analyse and understand the context of paintings, drawings and cartoon, which are also known as non-photorealistic imagery. Read more
Safe and reliable human-robot interaction
The project will be undertaken at the recently funded multidisciplinary Robotics, Control and Artificial Intelligence (MOCAI) research laboratory. Read more
Molecular editing of complex molecules via photocatalytic heteroatom insertion and migration
Modern approaches to drug discovery are increasingly impacted by the development of new synthetic methods, specifically the step-economical and chemospecific manipulation of late-stage intermediates. Read more

Chromatin assembly and higher-order dynamics
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. Read more
Design and Synthesis of novel analogues of Hipposudoric Acid for therapeutic use
Research into novel antimicrobial agents has never been more pressing with the ever-increasing resistance towards traditional medications. Read more
MSc by Research: The role of the CCR4-NOT complex in somite segmentation
During early embryogenesis the somites are formed during a process called segmentation. The somites will go on to form the bones and muscles of the skeleton. Read more
MSc by Research: Regulation of the stability of the Notch intracellular domain in iPS derived presomitic mesoderm cells
Notch is one of the major highly conserved signalling pathways that regulate cell-cell communication which involves gene regulation mechanisms that control multiple processes during development and adult life. Read more
MSc by Research: Function of presomitic mesoderm specific phosphorylation of the Notch intracellular domain in somitogenesis
The Notch signalling pathway is one of the key pathways required for the developing embryo. It is especially important for the process of somitogenesis, the formation of body segments that develop into e.g. Read more
Development of a collaborative robot – human-robot collaboration
Robots work effectively in factories. For example, in car factories, huge robotic arms pick up car parts and join them to the skeleton of the car, working at less than millimetre and millisecond precision. Read more
Synthetic engineering of nanoporous graphene and 2D-polymer sheets
One atom-thick sheets of graphene and other 2D materials have attracted tremendous interest as membranes for molecular separation and sieving. Read more
Building the skull - normal and abnormal development
Using a combination of patient samples and mouse models, we study the causes and developmental origins of skull malformation. The work ranges from screening human DNA for new mutations, to use of genome editing and single cell transcriptomics to model the developmental causes of these malformations in mice. Read more
