Biophysical studies of lipid-protein interactions
Knowledge of the structure of a cell membrane and the interactions between its components is crucial to our understanding of membrane properties and function. Read more
Modular DNA nanopores for synthetic biology
The aim of this project is to develop artificial cells that can programmably communicate. In biology, cells are miniature factories where different compartments handle specific tasks. Read more
Computer-aided Precision Surgery: Medical Image Guided Surgical Planning and Targeted Drug Delivery About this Project
About this Project. Image-guided surgery utilises pre-operative and/or intraoperative medical imaging data to help visualise and navigate surgical instrument and tools in reaching the targeted sites of the patient. Read more
UKRI AI Centre for Doctoral Training in Biomedical Innovation (AI4BI CDT)
Artificial intelligence has immense potential to tackle major global health challenges, optimise healthcare systems, and improve patient outcomes. Read more
Nano-scale measurement and manipulation of heat for healthcare
Background. The ability to measure and manipulate heat is fundamental when studying biological processes, chemical reactions and even fundamental physics. Read more
AI-driven signal and imaging analysis in cancer diagnosis
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Increasing evidence indicates that how cancers develop and respond to treatments is linked to each patient’s unique tumour microenvironment. Read more
The effect of mechanical stress on radiation-induced cancer cell death investigated using molecular rotor technology
This project is co-sponsored by the EPSRC CDT in Chemical Biology and the CRUK Convergence Science Centre. Supervisors. Professor Marina Kuimova, Department of Chemistry, Imperial. Read more
Novel method development and applications in Electron Paramagnetic Resonance
A 4-year PhD studentship in novel method development and applications in Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) is available in the group of Dr Alice Bowen. Read more
Deciphering molecular mechanisms that underlie the cross-colonisation of anatomical niches by Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoea
The project will be supervised by Drs Gail Whiting, Caroline Vipond and Sunil Maharjan at MHRA and Professor Christoph Tang at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, The University of Oxford. Read more
Physical Biology of Genlisea Rhizophylls: Understanding Microbial Trapping Mechanisms
Are you fascinated by the intersection of biology, physics and engineering? This exciting PhD project explores the physical principles behind the unique trapping mechanisms of Genlisea rhizophylls, specialised subterranean leaves found in a remarkable genus of carnivorous plants. Read more
Defects, dynamics and supramolecular assembly: Combining the physics of soft 2D nanomaterials and in situ super-resolution bio-imaging to understand spatio-temporal dynamics in the bacterial outer membrane
The Gram-negative bacterial cell envelope is defined by an asymmetric outer membrane (OM) where the outer leaflet adopts a highly ordered structure composed principally of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecules. Read more
Single Molecule Measurements of MegaDalton Protein Complexes
This CASE PhD project in collaboration with Waters Corp. Read more
PhD Studentship in Biological Physics
The Biological Physics group at University College London (UCL) offers fully funded PhD position in an extremely dynamic, vibrant and highly multidisciplinary environment with both theoretical and experimental research areas ranging from molecules to populations. . Read more
PhD Studentship in the Physics of Biological and Biomimetic Living Matter
About Us. The Agudo-Canalejo lab at UCL is based in the Biological Physics group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The Department is one of the UK’s leading departments in its field with a large, international research community. Read more
