Detection of triplex DNA using fluorescent reporter ligands
Triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) could position themselves at the forefront of personalised medicine in their potential to interact with defined target gene sequences in humans and in other organisms. Read more
The stabilization of DNA triplexes using the novel base analogue 2-aminopyridinone (APyO)
Triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) could position themselves at the forefront of personalised medicine in their potential to interact with defined target gene sequences in humans and in other organisms. Read more
An integrated model of alcohol consumption: Examining alcohol-related affect, motivation, and cognition.
Psychological research has made great strides in uncovering certain motivational and cognitive processes that are associated reliably with alcohol consumption. Read more
Synthesis and Screening of Inhibitors for β–Lactamases
Owing to the overuse of penicillins, cephalosporins and carbapenems, β-lactam resistance has become a major public health problem. Read more
Understanding the role of pre-clinical inflammation on contact lens discomfort
The project would aim to characterise patients between symptomatic and asymptomatic contact lens wearers, between patients who can wear contact lenses comfortably and who have dropped contact lens wear due to discomfort. Read more
Development of an in vitro nebulisation assay for use with defence pathogens
Applications are invited for a three-year Postgraduate studentship, supported by the Defence Science Technology Laboratory (DSTL) and the College of Health and Life Sciences, to be undertaken within the Biosciences Research Group at Aston University. The successful applicant will join an established experimental group working on antibiotic drug discovery and development. . Read more
Novel functions of the hydroxylase and arginine demethylase JMJD6.
JMJD6 is a member of the jumonji domain-containing (JmjC) protein family. These proteins are metalloenzymes that can catalyse hydroxylation and demethylation on DNA, RNA and protein substrates. Read more
Surfaces for the elimination of Clostridiodes difficile spores
Production of antimicrobial resistant spores by C. difficile and their dispersal in the environment facilitates the transmission of Clostridiodes difficile associated disease, especially in healthcare environments. Read more
Investigating the role of endothelial cells in myelin damage in Alzheimer's diseases using iPSC-derived model
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects around 50 million people globally with no cure. Apart from well-known neuronal loss, myelin abnormalities in brain have been recently detected from early stage of AD. 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
The role of parts and part relations in human object recognition
Common objects typically show a clear visual structure in terms of parts or components (for example. the legs, the head and the trunk of a cow, or the top and the legs of a table). Read more
Translational potential of novel mitochondrial-targeted nanoparticles encapsulating hydrogen sulphide as modulators of neurological disease.
Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease occur due to the progressive and irreversible degeneration of nerve cells. Read more
Experimental and computational investigation of the stabilisation of drug molecules in their amorphous state by mesoporous polymers
The formulation and delivery of poorly soluble drugs has always been a challenge with estimated 70-90% of molecules in the development pipeline suffering from poor solubility and bioavailability. Read more
Dynamic aquaporin-4 subcellular relocalisation in regulating brain fluid homeostasis
Aquaporins facilitate passive, bidirectional water transport in all cells and tissues. In the brain and spinal cord, aquaporin-4 facilitates the exchange of water across the blood-spinal cord and blood-brain barriers, controlling cell volume, extracellular space volume and astrocyte migration. Read more
Dermal delivery of hydrogen sulphide donors in the treatment of diabetic pressure ulcers
Diabetic wounds associated with pressure ulcers are a worldwide concern affecting around 26 million patients annually with 15-25% of diabetic patients developing foot ulcer during their lifetime [1]. Read more
