  Protein Misfolding and the Molecular Basis of Alzheimer’s Disease
Queen Mary University of London School of Biological & Chemical Sciences
  Dr J Viles
Applications accepted all year round
Background. World-wide one in three people over the age of 65 will die with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The disease is characterised by deposits of amyloid plaques and fibrils of amyloid-beta peptide (Ab) are their main constituent.

  Why do some DNA sequences poison cells?
University of Birmingham School of Biosciences
  Research Group: BBSRC MIBTP
  Dr D Grainger
Applications accepted all year round
Life on our planet is permitted by an ancient set of instructions encoded by DNA. Consequently, the observation that a cell can be poisoned by its own DNA is completely counterintuitive.

  Surface functionalised nanodiamonds for antimicrobial resistance application
University of Leicester College of Science & Engineering
  Prof H Ye, Prof M Oggioni
Application Deadline: 28 January 2019
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been identified as one of the main challenges facing the 21st century, and presents a spectrum of complex and multifaceted questions, ranging in scope from fundamental scientific research at the horizons of disciplines through to the behaviour of individuals and society.

  Carbon nanotubes in the boron neutron capture therapy of cancer
Kingston University Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing
  Dr G Calabrese
Applications accepted all year round
The early promise of boron neutron capture therapy as a method for the treatment of brain cancer has been mainly inhibited by the inherent toxicity associated with 10B-containing pharmacophores and the need for the ability to cross biological membranes.

Type/Funding
  Investigating the efficacy of novel antimicrobial mixes on microorganisms, surfaces and cells lines; an integrated study
Kingston University Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing
  Dr A Kelly, Dr S Schwikkard, Prof D Wertheim
Applications accepted all year round
The projection that within 50 years there will be more deaths from antimicrobial resistance than through cancer highlights the continual need for mining new and novel antimicrobials with activity against planktonic microbes and biofilms alike1.
