How have plants evolved to produce diverse and complex chemicals?
Plants can produce chemicals of remarkable diversity and complexity. These chemicals can support plant defence, communication and ecological adaptation; they are also used by humankind as pharmaceuticals, agrichemicals and flavours/fragrances. Read more

Drugging tumorigenicity and preserving stemness in induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) using a novel liquid culture system
Background. The discovery of induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has dramatically revolutionised our understanding of stem cell biology. Recently, 3D cultures have emerged as a significant advancement in regenerative medicine. Read more
(MRC DTP) Peptide hydrogels for delivery of therapeutics for ophthalmic applications
"Wet" macular degeneration and related retinal diseases are a leading cause of sight loss, impacting 570,000 people in UK and at least 96M worldwide. Read more
(MRC DTP) Targetting Extracellular Glycans for antimicrobial therapy and diagnostics
Most drugs have intracellular targets, such as enzyme or transporter inhibitors. Whilst successful, this approach relies on the design of molecules which are not only effective ‘binders’ but are sufficiently membrane permeable. Read more
Exploring aspects of bacterial dormancy in the environment
Project Description. The research group of Dr Sariqa Wagley (NERC Independent Research Fellow) based in the Biosciences department at the University of Exeter, focuses on understanding bacterial dormancy with an overarching aim of finding new ways to predict and prevent infections from arising.

Deciphering the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in radiotherapy resistance for HPV+ head and neck cancers.
The human papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for approximately 5% of all human cancer, 630,000 cases worldwide each year. HPV infection in widespread, leading to squamous cell carcinomas in the cervix, head and neck, and anogenital regions and is often treated with curative intent using radiotherapy[1]. Read more
(MRC DTP CASE) Developing a cortical organoid model of genetic autism to understand early brain development
Neurodevelopmental conditions including autism and ADHD affect 4-8% of the paediatric population. These conditions present in the preschool period, are highly heritable and can severely affect quality of life, academic and occupational functioning. Read more
Probing drug distributions with fast Raman imaging
Targeted therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have transformed the treatment landscape in cancer, however how these drugs get into and out of cells is often overlooked1. Read more
Structural biology: A gas channel in vitamin B6 biosynthetic enzymes
Study of gas channels in proteins. You will study gas channeling and structural dynamics in bacterial (tuberculosis), malarial, and plant enzymes involved in Vitamin B6 biosynthesis. Read more
(MRC DTP CASE) Lipid Nanoparticles with Multivalent and Multi-Targeting Capabilities for the Treatment of Brain Cancer
Glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumour with a dismal prognosis, presents a significant challenge due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits the efficacy of conventional chemotherapy. Read more
(MRC DTP) Understand and re-programme the host unfolded protein response in Zika virus intervention
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus endemic in Africa and Asia (Petersen et al., 2016). ZIKV disease was declared a global health emergency of international concern by WHO in 2015 after its spread to the Latin America and remains a global threat since. Read more
(MRC DTP) Controlling G-protein coupled receptors to understand and treat obesity
The socioeconomic burden of obesity is ever increasing. Therefore, deciphering the neural substrates that control energy intake, expenditure and partitioning is an important step to developing novel treatments to reduce obesity rates. Read more
