Embedded AI-Powered Marine Biodiversity Monitoring (Ref: CENTA2025-LU8)
This PhD project focuses on advancing computer vision and edge-AI technology for real-time marine monitoring. Read more
Precision Medicine DTP - Development of a precision medicine-based gene therapy to treat atherosclerotic disease
About the Project. Additional supervisors - Prof Judith Sluimer (Maastricht University) & Prof Lars Maegdefessel (Karolinska Institutet). Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme - Assessing the role of upland fires in air pollution and public health in the UK
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
(BBSRC NWD CASE) Spatial proteomic profiling of human meniscus to inform development of bioprinted meniscal tissue analogues
Over 1.5 million people across the USA and Europe suffer from injuries to the knee meniscus which can significantly reduce their mobility and quality of life. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme - Harnessing open-source data to quantify illegal and unsustainable trade
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
T cells under pressure
T cells under pressure. Cytotoxic CD8 T cells (CTLs) are important players in the immune response against cancer. Once activated by antigen, they migrate into tumours, adhere to their target cells and kill them by secreting a cocktail of cytotoxic enzymes. Read more
GENOMICS: Gene Expression in Oral Melanoma for Integrated Cross-Species Stratification
Oronasal mucosal melanoma (OMM) is a highly aggressive cancer with poor survival outcomes, affecting both humans and dogs. Median survival is ~1 year in dogs and only ~15% of human patients survive 5 years. Read more
Understanding reproductive success to evaluate the impact of global warming on Andean trees.
Background. Tropical forests are among Earth’s most vital ecosystems in terms of carbon storage, climate regulation, and biodiversity, but their response to climate change remains deeply uncertain. Read more
BBSRC NWD: Structural Proteomics to spatially resolve interactions with mechanosensitive synaptic scaffold proteins
Over the past decades, tremendous progress has been made in unveiling how synaptic plasticity wires and rewires neural circuits, forming the basis of learning and memory. Read more
Monitoring Scotland’s fresh waters from space: re-engineering the state-of-art using artificial intelligence
Scotland’s freshwater ecosystems are under significant pressure from a range of stressors including inputs of diffuse pollution from agriculture, wastewater spillages from combined sewer outflows, and the increasing occurrence of hydroclimatic extremes (Marsden & Mackay, 2001). Read more
EASTBIO: Delving into the matrix: comparative computational models of cell-matrix cross-talk during tissue remodelling
This fully funded, 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by the BBSRC EASTBIO Doctoral Training Partnership. Read more
The German Primate Center (DPZ) – Leibniz Institute for Primate Research
The German Primate Center (DPZ) – Leibniz Institute for Primate Research is one of 96 research and infrastructure establishments of the Leibniz Association. Read more
EastBio DTP – The development of coherent vibrational microscopy methods for the study of youthful and aged dopaminergic neurons
In the last decade, coherent vibrational microscopy techniques, such as stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy, have emerged as exciting experimental technologies that provide label-free imaging of cells and tissues [1]. Read more
EastBio DTP - Integrating Chemical Cross-Linking and Molecular Dynamics to Map Glycoprotein Interactomes
Enveloped viruses are commonly coated with highly glycosylated glycoproteins termed ‘spikes’, that offer a degree of multivalency through trimeric organisation. Read more
Investigation of loss of Y chromosome and its functional role in driving disease progression and immune evasion in cutaneous and oral squamous cell carcinoma
This CRUK Barts Cancer Bioinformatics Core funded project will commence in September 2025 and has funding for 4 years. This project would suit candidates with a background in genomics and bioinformatics and an interest in cancer genomics, spatial biology, digital pathology and sex disparities in cancer. Read more
