Broadening the spectrum of antibacterial drugs to tackle multi-drug resistant Gram-negative pathogens
Research Group:
Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology
Antibiotics make possible the treatment and cure of life-threatening bacterial infections and have added over a decade to average human lifespan. Read more
Synthesis of anticancer alkaloids
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Luotonin A is a natural occurring plant alkaloid bearing polycyclic quinazolinone. It has shown inhibitory effect towards topoisomerase I (TP1), an enzyme responsible for antibiotic and anticancer. Read more
Design, synthesis and evaluation of novel polysialyltransferase inhibitors as anti- metastatic agents
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Polysialic acid plays an essential role in neuronal development, but by adulthood is absent from the human body. Its biosynthesis is regulated by two polysialyltransferases (polySTs). Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Developing Small-Molecule Therapeutics for Recurrent, Therapy-Resistant Brain Cancer
Background. Glioblastoma (GB) is the most prevalent and aggressive form of brain cancer, associated with very poor patient outcomes. Read more
Synthesis of small organic fluorescent molecules
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Luminescent molecules that emit visible light with a wave-length of 400–700 nm upon visible light absorption–have been extensively in biomedical research. Read more
Superselective targeting of perineuronal nets in the brain
Ever wondered how our neurons maintain synaptic connections stable over time? Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are one of the key reasons. Read more
High-throughput discovery of lysine-directed probes for protein kinases
Research Group:
School of Chemistry
The resurgence of covalent drug discovery has yielded FDA-approved drugs in therapeutic areas as diverse as cancer, virology and sickle cell anaemia. Read more
Oxidic Nanomaterials for High Density Storage in Li-ion Batteries
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
The oxides of a number of materials are very appealing candidates as substitutes for conventional anodes in lithium-ion batteries because of their high theoretical capacity, high electric conductivity low potential of lithium ion intercalation, as well as superior electron mobilities, with one such material, SnO2 being particularly appealing. Read more
Nanomaterials as White Light Emitters for Low Cost Lighting
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
White-light emission (WLE) from semiconductor nanostructures is presently a research area of intense interest especially where the primary objective is to replace conventional light sources by environmentally friendly materials in order to minimize energy costs and therefore the global energy consumption for lighting. Read more
Design, synthesis and evaluation of protease-activated anti-cancer prodrugs
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of endoproteases that are overexpressed in tumours and play crucial roles in many tumourigenic processes, not least tumour invasion and angiogenesis. Read more
Analysis of Magnetically Susceptible Nanoparticles via confocal and fluorescence spectroscopy
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
A project is requested for a student to design a device capable of studying medically targeted nanoparticles (with potential applications in cancer therapy) under both microscopic and fluorescence devices. Read more
Understanding Autoimmune Diseases Using Mass Spectrometry
Research Group:
School of Chemistry
Glycans are sugar-based molecules which play an important role in biological processes ranging from cell-cell communication to energy metabolism. Read more

Pharmacokinetics Guided Natural Products Exploration for Drug Discovery, Development, Delivery and Therapy
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Natural products have emerged as a key standard in novel and safe delivery of anticancer bioactive compounds. Apart from their ease of administration and delivery, natural/phytochemicals still face several hurdles, due to their physiochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. Read more
