The role of PHF6 during haematopoietic differentiation
PHD finger protein 6 (PHF6) is a protein, consisting of two atypical plant homeodomains (aPHD1/2) with nuclear and nucleolar localization sequences. Read more
Transcription factor complexes in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) is a group of blood cancers, resulting from uncontrolled cellular proliferation of cells belonging to the myeloid lineage. Read more
Induction of lysosomal biogenesis in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) as a novel treatment for Stargardt disease
Lead Institute / Faculty. Clinical and Experimental Sciences, Faculty of Medicine. Other members of the supervisory team. Professor Andrew J. Read more
Dissecting the mechanism of pathological aged-related protein aggregation
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Aggregation of aberrant proteins is a hallmark in age-related neurodegenerative diseases. These aggregates cause cell death and tissue degeneration leading to loss of function, hence strategies to reduce aggregation are necessary for delaying disease onset and progression. Read more
Examining the mechanisms that cause cardiovascular disease by studying the heart adipose tissue
Heart failure has a serious impact on our society and once diagnosed has a poor survival rate. In the United Kingdom, there are about 1.5 million people living with the after-effects of a heart attack. Read more
Using structural biology to develop drugs and improve genetic testing for polycystic kidney disease
Are you looking for a PhD in structural and computational biology applied to drug development for human diseases?. Read more
The Oxford Interdisciplinary Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership
The Oxford Interdisciplinary Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) programme is a 4-year DPhil*/PhD programme that aims to equip a new generation of researchers with the skills and knowledge needed to tackle the most important challenges in bioscience research. Read more
Understanding the Impacts of Inhaled Particulate Matter on Neurological Health
The biological processes underlying the development of dementia and other neurodegenerative disorders are complex and not fully understood, but accumulating evidence has demonstrated that exposure to air pollution, especially airborne particles, is a potentially important environmental risk factor. Read more
Investigating novel molecular regulators of the brown adipocyte programme
Brown adipose tissue is an enigmatic tissue that plays an important role in energy metabolism. The increasing prevalence of obesity-related disorders has led to a growing need for therapeutic strategies to reverse diet-induced weight gain. Read more
Exploring the Molecular Mechanism of Novel Mitochondrial Neurotoxins identified through a Machine Learning Approach
Mitochondrial inhibition is an important ‘OFF-target’ mechanism of drug-induced toxicity in the clinic, contributing to drug attrition in clinical trials and drug withdrawal following approval because of severe adverse events 1. Read more
PhD: Co-fermentation in the whisky industry for sustainability and flavour creation
The International Centre for Brewing and Distilling (ICBD) at Heriot-Watt University in association with the Scotch Whisky Research Institute (SWRI) are offering an IBioIC-Industry co-funded PhD project, expected to commence by 30th September 2022. Read more
Identifying novel ways of producing keratin proteins and resultant sustainable textile fibers
Applicants are invited to apply for a fully funded PhD programme to carry out a feasibility study to identify novel ways of producing recombinant keratin proteins and resultant sustainable textile fibers. Read more
Novel sustainable photopigments for skin protection
Frequent sun exposure is a complex challenge for human health and indirectly impacts the environment through an excessive use of sun protective products. Read more
Structure and function of Batten disease proteins
The neuronal ceroid lipofucscinoses are a group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders with primarily childhood onset. The most common form, also known as Batten disease or CLN3 disease, is caused by recessively inherited mutation in the CLN3 gene. Read more
Synthetic transition metal catalysts for the treatment of cancer
Working the interfaces of chemical catalysis, analytical chemistry, cellular biology, pharmacology and medicine, this project provides unique interdisciplinary training in the skills required for the development of a pre-clinical metal-based therapy. Read more
