Identifying how mucinous tumours use glycobiology to resist chemotherapy
Mucinous colorectal cancers are easily identifiable early in a patient’s care due to their extracellular glycan (sugar)-dominated mucus, which accounts for more than 50% of tumour volume. Read more
EPSRC DTP - NDE (Nondestructive Dispersion Evaluation)
Nanocomposites are materials consisting of a matrix embedded with nanoparticles or nanostructures that are on the scale of nanometers. Read more
Biocatalytic Synthesis and Degradation of Organosilicon Compounds
In synthetic chemistry, there has been increasing prominence in the use of engineered enzymes to execute chemical transformations. Read more
Understanding needs and care pathways for people with co-morbid dementia and psychosis
Psychotic symptoms occur in one-third to one-half of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD; Ropacki & Jeste, 2005) and also occur in other forms such as vascular dementia, Lewy body disease (LBD), or frontotemporal dementia (FTD) (Agüera-Ortiz, 2022). Read more
PhD Biomechanical analysis of ceramic dental implants: numerical and experimental simulation
Ceramic dental implants were proposed as an alternative to the “gold standard” CpTi and Ti alloys due to their improved aesthetics and biocompatibility. Read more
Sunlight exposure and cutaneous production of vitamin D in Black African/Afro-Caribbean adults
Our main source of vitamin D is through skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in sunlight. Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones and is associated with reduced incidence of several cancers and immune-mediated disorders. Read more
New optical techniques for non-destructive sensing and monitoring
Technical paints provide essential corrosion protection to our infrastructure, which is vital to ensure public safety and drive down the unacceptable economic and carbon cost associated with the replacement of metals. Read more
Development of a zebrafish model to understand non-traumatic spinal cord injuries: spinal strokes
Spinal cord (SC) injuries(SCI) are devastating affecting at least 4400 people per year in the UK. It carries substantial individual and societal costs with most SCI sufferers experiencing chronic pain. Read more
Investigate the novel therapeutic potential for treating heart failure in diabetes.
Heart failure is the most common cause of mortality in diabetes patients, but current diabetes therapies have a limited impact on the incidence of heart failure in diabetic populations. Read more
Molecular pathogenesis and treatment of obesity/diabetes-associated heart disease: The insight into mechanisms and therapeutic potentials
Both the number of cases and the prevalence of obesity/diabetes are increasing globally. Cardiovascular complications are the leading causes of diabetes mortality. Read more
Environmentally strategic decommissioning of Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors led by life cycle assessment
This project will apply environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) and economic life cycle costing (LCC) to some of the key problems presented by decommissioning activities. Read more
Fast Optimisation of Wind and Tidal-Stream Turbine Arrays
Aim. To create a fast, efficient, validated software tool for the layout of wind or tidal-stream turbine arrays. Background. Wind turbines now generate more than a quarter of UK electricity. Read more
Identifying and minimising problematic polypharmacy in older patients admitted to critical care
This PhD will identify the effects of admission to critical care on medication-related risks in older patients (≥65 years of age), leading to the development of an in-hospital intervention suitable for routine implementation in clinical practice and future evaluation. Read more

Environmental fate of radioactive ‘hot particles’ in marine and terrestrial systems: A biogeochemical study
Objectives. Develop an understanding of how nuclear fuel ‘hot particles’ degrade in marine and terrestrial environments. Utilise a range of advanced analysis techniques to study fuel particles, both synthetic (produced in the lab) and genuine (collected from the field). Read more

Geochemical Controls on Radionuclide Transport and Fate in Sedimentary Rock – A combined experimental and modelling study
Context. The UK has been generating electricity from nuclear power for over sixty years. Consequently, the safe disposal of the UK’s existing ~750,000 m3 of radioactive waste is a clear priority. Read more
