Biochemistry (testing) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 31 Biochemistry (testing) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Preclinical testing of collagen synthesis inhibitors for fibrotic disease

Fibrotic disease is characterised by an excessive accumulation of collagen within tissues, which then impedes tissue function. Organ fibrosis specifically kidney fibrosis, liver fibrosis, cardiac fibrosis and lung fibrosis have limited treatment options, pose a huge clinical burden and are life-limiting diseases. Read more

Understanding the soil microbiome under controlled light conditions

Our research group is working within a consortium that is testing semi-transparent solar installations on crop growth-houses, to enhance biological and financial resilience in protected farming. Read more

Self funded PhD in Biology: Novel approaches for valorisation of seaweed biomass

Lead Supervisor. Dr T Tonon (Department of Biology). Co-Supervisor. Dr Leonardo Gomez (Department of Biology). Context. Seaweeds are crucial to maintain biodiversity in coastal environments and to support livelihood of some coastal communities. Read more

Discovery of novel pharmaceuticals from marine and desert microorganisms

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

High-throughput biomaterials discovery

Polymer biomaterials have revolutionised a range of areas from drug delivery, to antimicrobials, to cellular cryopreservation. There are 1000’s of possible monomer combinations, molecular weights and architectures to be explored, and even small differences can dramatically change their properties. Read more

Advancing translational cell therapy for Hirschsprung disease

Clinical disorders characterised by neuronal loss or dysfunction in the gastrointestinal tract remain some of the most challenging to manage, with considerable morbidity and mortality and very limited treatments. Read more

Role of mechanical signals in a 3D human model of alveolar differentiation

Alveolar epithelial type I (AT1) and type II (AT2) cells are essential for normal lung function following birth. Abnormal differentiation of AT1 and AT2 cells during development results in pulmonary pathology with associated neonatal mortality and long-term morbidity. Read more

Manipulation of neuroimmune responses and behaviour by infectious agents

This project is available exclusively to self-funded students who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2023/24. The project focuses on how infectious agents modify the individuals that they infect and how neuroimmune responses to infection moderate behaviour changes in warm-blooded animals and humans. Read more

Novel glycoprotease discovery and characterisation for enhanced detergent performance

In this exciting joint academia-industry project the student will exploit metagenomes and the huge untapped capacity of the human gut microbiota to breakdown glycoconjugates to discover novel protease enzymes that can potentially increase the performance and environmental sustainability of leading P&G automatic dishwashing brands.
