Metagenomics to guide precision medicine in ARDS
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a severe condition characterized by acute inflammation and diffuse alveolar damage, leading to respiratory failure. Read more
Structure-based design of allosteric modulators for G protein-coupled receptors using molecular modelling and pharmacology experiments
Almost all physiological processes are regulated through the activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). It has become widely accepted that most GPCRs possess binding sites spatially distinct from their natural ligand binding site (orthosteric site), termed as allosteric sites. Read more
Development of Nanomaterials for Targeting the Bacteria–Host Interface in Cystic Fibrosis Airways
The attachment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) to the airway mucus in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) represents an important step in airway colonization and the subsequent development of lung infection. Read more
Novel investigation of innate airways defence in Severe Asthma and elucidation of potential therapeutic targets
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
Join a distinguished translational experimental group that spans from lab work to delivery of specialist asthma clinical care, seeking to understand variation in airways immunity and how this results in varied responses to current asthma therapies. Read more
Understanding how high plasma soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) predicts poor outcome in patients with ARDS.
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a common condition in critically ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation, and is often found in association with sepsis and other systemic illnesses. ARDS is associated with a high mortality, and there are no effective pharmacological interventions. . Read more
The potential value of risk based pricing for promoting innovation in biopharmaceuticals.
Research Group:
Centre for Public Health
The prices of new pharmaceuticals have increased by orders of magnitude over the last two decades, and emerging gene therapies are expected to be priced a magnitude higher than the cellular therapies such as monoclonal antibodies. 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
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
Investigating the impact of commonly occurring blood cancer mutations on innate immune signalling
Research Group:
The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) are clonal haematological malignancies that can disrupt normal haematopoiesis of multiple myeloid lineages. 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
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
Last chance to apply
Nanocrystals-in-nanofibres as a promising strategy for the delivery of poorly soluble actives
One of the most challenging issues that the pharmaceutical industry face is poor aqueous solubility of drugs. 90% of candidate molecules within the discovery pipelines face solubility issues, posing significant hurdles to their clinical translation. Read more
Microfluidic Encapsulation of biologics into Nanomedicines
Progress in drug design has led to the development of new peptides, proteins, and drug molecules. However, the limited ability to deliver selectively these molecules at well-defined dosing regimens and without invoking drug-resistance remains a significant challenge. 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
Breaking the resistance: alternative approaches to antibiotics discovery
The World Health Organisation (WHO) identifies antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as one of the top 10 global threats to human health (http://www.who.int/). Read more
