Giving ‘Voice’ to Patients’ Voices in Simulation
Research Group:
Centre for Medical Education
Queen's University Belfast is offering an innovative PhD opportunity to advance healthcare education through enhanced simulation training. Read more
Enzyme-responsive peptide hydrogels as in situ forming long-acting drug delivery implants
One of the key issues in the treatment and prevention of disease is that patients struggle to adhere to the complex dosage regimens of therapies, which often require multiple dosing at very specific times each day. Read more
INTERNATIONAL DFE - What works to mobilise boys’ engagement in sex education and gender equality? A comparison of implementation in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa
Working with a UNESCO advisory group, this PhD examines lessons learned from implementing comprehensive sex education targeted to boys and explicitly promoting gender equality for girls in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. Read more
Dexamethasone-releasing cochlear implants to reduce foreign body response
Cochlear implants are surgically implanted neuroprostheses designed to produce useful hearing sensations to persons with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss by electrically stimulating the auditory nerve in the inner ear (or cochlea). Read more
Law at Queen's: Postgraduate Research Opportunities
We have over 100 years of achievement in both education and research, and we offer PhD supervision across the legal field, supporting a range of approaches--from the doctrinal to the sociolegal, comparative, criminological and critical. Read more
FIND-BACT Study: Finding INnovative Diagnostics for BACTerial infections in children
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
Detecting bacterial infection in children is very challenging, particularly in previously well children presenting to the Emergency department (ED) with fever as well as in children with chronic illnesses, such as those with cystic fibrosis (CF). Read more
Multipurpose gel formulations containing antiretroviral-loaded lactoferrin nanoparticles and antibiotics for combination HIV prevention and treatment of bacterial vaginosis
This is an exemplar PhD project co-supervised by Dr. Sheiliza Carmali (School of Pharmacy) and Prof. Karl Malcolm (School or Pharmacy). Read more
3D-printed drug-eluting auxetic meshes for preventing biofilm formation and capsular contracture associated with breast implants
This is an exemplar PhD project co-supervised by Dr. Zafer Kazanci (School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering) and Prof. Karl Malcolm (School or Pharmacy). Read more
Investigation of novel protease-antiprotease imbalances associated with cystic fibrosis and the effect of CFTR correction.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a progressive life-limiting airways disease that affects over 162,000 people worldwide. Read more
Selective targeting of furin for the treatment of fibrotic lung disease.
Furin, a proprotein convertase has been established as a therapeutic target across several disease areas to include chronic airways diseases and infectious disease, such as COVID-19 (reviewed in our recent publication, Douglas et al, 2023). Read more
Freeze-dried bacteriophage formulations against antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) presents a significant global public health issue. Read more
UKRI AI Centre for Doctoral Training in Sustainable Understandable agri-food Systems Transformed by Artificial Intelligence (SUSTAIN)
Applications are invited for fully-funded four-year PhD studentships to join the SUSTAIN doctoral training program conducting research in the application of Artificial Intelligence to sustainable agri-food. Read more
Investigating the role of novel and established plasma biomarkers in the evaluation of heart failure in children with heart disease
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
This project will use plasma samples of children with congenital heart disease to evaluate the role of novel and established cardiac biomarkers in identifying and monitoring paediatric heart failure. Read more
Development of carbohydrate-functionalised materials for detection and prevention of medical device-associated infections
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a growing problem in the 21st century, causing longer and more serious infections, and resulting in poor outcomes for vulnerable patients. . Read more
Peptide-based nanoparticles for brain targeted gene delivery.
Gene therapy has the potential to provide therapeutic benefit to millions of people with neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Delivery into the brain is hampered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits the efficacy of both conventional and novel therapies at the target site. Read more
