Rationalising the use of clinical decision support systems
The growing complexity of health care, the demands of managing multi-morbidity, and increasing availability of clinical guidelines all contribute to pressures on clinical decision-making. Read more
Metabolic reprogramming in cancer: starving tumors of essential nutrients to promote cell death
All the cells in our bodies are programmed to die. As they get older, our cells accumulate toxic molecules that make them sick. In response, they eventually break down and die, clearing the way for new, healthy cells to grow. Read more
Cancer: Epigenetic therapy using microbubble-mediated drug delivery for colorectal cancer
The project is an interdisciplinary, pre-clinical study that aims to investigate the response of human tumour cells to treatment with epigenetic inhibitors (including DNA methyltransferase inhibitors, HDAC inhibitors and/or vitamin C), as a potential combination therapy for colorectal cancer (CRC).

Cancer: Developing cubosome nanocarriers to improve chemotherapy responses in breast cancer
Cytotoxic chemotherapy is a treatment component for around a third of primary and the majority of secondary breast cancer patients. Read more
Oncology: Evaluating Photodynamic Therapy in colorectal cancer using patient-derived organoids
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 3rd most common cancer worldwide. Surgery is first line treatment and often in adjunct with chemotherapy. Read more
Stem Cells: Developing pluripotent stem cell models of inherited retinal diseases
Inherited retinal dystrophies are a leading cause of blindness and visual loss in the UK working age population. However, despite the widespread diagnostic use of next-generation sequencing, a molecular genetic diagnosis is unavailable for many patients world-wide. Read more
Genetics: Investigating the functional effect of novel genes and genetic variants in malignant hyperthermia susceptibility using model systems
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is an inherited condition, where patients exposed to anaesthetic drugs are susceptible to a dramatic hyperthermic and hypermetabolic response that can contribute to a significant proportion of post-operative morbidity and deaths. Read more
Clinical: Gastroesophageal reflux in respiratory disease: pathogenic role and improved management
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which stomach contents, such as food and acid pass into the gullet/oesophagus causing heartburn. GERD is very common in patients with lung disease, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF). Read more
Nutritional support along the gut:lung:brain axis – targeting the human microbiome in Long-COVID.
As the COVID-19 pandemic recedes, it has left in its wake a toxic legacy of chronic disease in millions of people world-wide. Termed “Long-COVID”, symptoms include debilitating fatigue, cognitive impairment, pain, respiratory and cardiovascular issues. Read more
Integrated omics approach to psychiatric disorders
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
In psychiatry, the selection of antipsychotics and antidepressants is led by a trial-and-error approach. The prescribing of these medications is complicated by sub-optimal efficacy and high rates of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Read more
The effects of second-eye cataract surgery on visual and motor function
In 2013, around 17% of the UK population were aged 65 or over, and this is estimated to increase to up to one in four people by 2050. Read more
Healthy mind, healthy body: Biopsychosocial interactions between psychological wellbeing, eating behaviour and weight during the developmental years
This fully funded PhD scholarship provides an exciting opportunity to pursue postgraduate research in the field of child and adolescent obesity and mental health. Read more
Development of a personalized therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)
Research Group:
Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating cardiovascular disorder which, if left untreated, leads to heart failure and death. Read more
