The Influence of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on the Development and Prevention of Skin Cancers (Ref: AACME-24-018)
Background. biomedical application of fish oil-derived omega-3 fatty acids. Dietary intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids from fish oils has been shown to have various beneficial effects against inflammation and inflammatory diseases, as well as anti-tumour effects. Read more
Electrifying Cells! Exploring the role of bioelectronic stimulation and bioelectric signalling, with a focus on influencing stem cell behaviour
Electrical stimulation of cells and tissues has been observed to help with healing processes, for example in bone regeneration. Within the NHS, some fracture clinics use electrical stimulation as a to promote healing, often when other methods fail. Read more
EastBio: Decoding signaling crosstalk's using microfluidics and engineered human pluripotent stem cells.
Uncovering the molecular logic allowing cells to integrate multiple signaling cues is of paramount importance to understand how cells commit to distinct functional states during embryonic development, normal tissue function, regeneration and disease. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Targeting neural–stromal crosstalk in cancer
Growing evidence indicates that neural mediators play a role in cancer progression [1]. Our recent work demonstrates significant crosstalk between sensory neurons, cancer cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF). Read more
Quantum imaging of bioelectric signalling in colorectal cancer organoids
This project is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Technology Engineering at the University of Southampton https://qte.ac.uk/). Read more
University of Bath URSA project: Computational modelling of electromechanical signalling in cells for the development of electroactive cytoskeletal gels
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
Systems-Mechanobiology of Ageing and Diseases
The interplay between lifestyle and genetics significantly shapes the trajectory of ageing, influencing the emergence of challenges like frailty and diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular conditions, and neurodegenerative disorders. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Exploring the anti-fibrotic activity and underlying molecular mechanisms of targeted compounds in patient derived models of Dupuytren’ disease and cancer
Fibrosis is characterised by an excessive accumulation of collagen within tissues, which impedes tissue function. Organ fibroses have limited treatment options, create a clinical burden and are life-limiting diseases1. Read more
Mathematical and computational modelling of organoids
The project. Organoids, miniature organ-like structures cultivated in the lab from stem or progenitor cells, have huge potential for biomedical research and tissue engineering. Read more
