Applications of Electrokinetic Stabilisation to Treat Subsidence in Low-rise Buildings

Fine-grained soils pose significant challenges to the construction industry in the UK and globally. These soils are known for their problematic characteristics such as shrink-swell and compressibility behaviours, which can cause subsidence and excessive settlement to buildings’ foundations.

MSc by Research: Cell migration in epithelial tissues

It is an important question to answer how cells move in a crowded environment.  In this project, we’ll use the vertex model (a widely used computational framework for cell-based studies of epithelial tissue mechanics) to study motion of a small patch of motile cells in otherwise inert environment. .

MSc by Research: Deciphering the ubiquitin codes that regulate protein degradation

Ubiquitin signalling, which involves the posttranslational modification (PTM) of proteins with ubiquitin, regulates almost every aspect of eukaryotic biology. Read more

MSc by Research: Mechanisms of cell size regulation

The tremendous diversity of cell shapes and sizes found in living organisms is fascinating. For instance, cell size differs enormously in the human body with myocytes being about a million-fold larger than red blood cells. Read more

MSc by Research: Role and mechanism of the bacterial Type VI secretion system

Many species of bacteria use a contractile nanomachine known as the Type VI secretion system (T6SS) to deliver a wide range of toxic proteins, known as ‘effectors’, directly into neighbouring cells. Read more

MSc by Research: Identifying microbiota responsible for longevity and health

Gut microbiome is the community of microbes living together in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal. They provide specific functions to the animal host such as digestion of cellulose and protection from invading pathogens. Read more

MSc by Research: Characterisation of human induced pluripotent stem cell derived kidney organoid system for use in drug discovery

Only 5% of all drugs tested in animal models are approved for human applications. Most of these failures are due to unexpected toxicity or lack of efficacy. The poor translation from small mammal studies to humans often causes this challenge. Read more
