Biological Sciences (novel) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 526 Biological Sciences (novel) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

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.

NIHR Leeds BRC: Pre-clinical evaluation of novel regenerative medicine strategies for knee osteoarthritis

Historically, articular cartilage was considered incapable of spontaneous repair.  However, biomechanical correction in osteoarthritis (OA) using high tibial osteotomy or joint distraction demonstrated the remarkable joint to regeneration by “merely” correcting joint alignment. Read more

Investigation of novel glycoconjugate vaccines to produce mucosal and systemic immunity against Group A Streptococcus.

Glycoconjugate vaccines have shown to be effective for several mucosal pathogens such as Streptococcus pneumoniae. While there is still no licensed vaccine against Group A Streptococcus (GAS), there has been significant progress in the development of candidate vaccines in recent years. Read more

Exploring a novel neurodevelopmental disease gene using a zebrafish model

The Rare Disorder Genetics / Bicknell lab is interested in characterising novel genetic syndromes, with three core motivations. -the difference we can make to families with rare disorders, through providing them with more information. Read more

Creating novel testing technologies for patient specific fracture fixation devices

Applications are invited for a three year self-funded Postgraduate Research project, to be undertaken at Aston University. The successful applicant will join an established experimental group working on biomaterials for orthopaedic implants. . Read more

Self-funded MSc R- Sublethal effects of novel insecticides on a beneficial parasitoid wasp and the implications for biological control

Broad-spectrum chemical insecticides such as neonicotinoids are a major cause of beneficial insect declines globally. In response to this, bans and restrictions on neonicotinoid use have been implemented on a global scale in an attempt to reverse trends in insect biodiversity loss. Read more

Designing and evaluating novel nanotherapeutics to enhance the effectiveness of radiotherapy in the treatment of solid cancers.

One in two cancer patients will receive radiotherapy as part of their treatment. For patients with a localised cancer diagnosis effective radiotherapy represents the best chance of a curative outcome, however, is not without risk. Read more
