Understanding how diet impacts on the intestinal stem cell epigenome and cancer risk
Bowel cancer is the 4th most common and second biggest cause of cancer mortality. Of the ~14,000 new cases of bowel cancer each year in the UK it is estimated 50% could have been prevented through healthy lifestyle changes. Read more

Targeting Sialic Acid biosynthetic pathway for potential GNE Myopathy therapeutics
Sugars and their derivatives (Glycoproteins and glycolipids) play multiple roles in health and disease and are interesting targets for therapeutic intervention involving chemical biology and medicinal chemistry programs. Read more
Studying the Role of Intracellular Trace Amine Receptors in Health and Disease
Dietary trace amines have been implicated in diseases of the cardiovascular (hypertension, angina, heart attacks and stroke) and central nervous systems (depression, schizophrenia). Read more
Structure and function of insecticidal protein toxins
***This is a PhD or MPhil Project***. Insecticidal proteins are valuable weapons to combat pest insects of agriculture and insect vectors of disease. Read more
Micro-manufacturing of surface textures for enhanced electrosurgery
3 years full time 1st April 2021, 1st July 2021 or 1st October 2021. Electrosurgery is a medical procedure that uses an alternating and high frequency current (200 kHz-3.3 MHz) to either cut and/or coagulate tissues and achieve haemostasis. Read more
Patient-Specific Stem Cells to Interrogate Role of Oligodendrocytes in Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia (SCZ) and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have revealed deficits in myelination, abnormalities in myelin gene expression arising from oligodendrocytes dysfunction. Read more
Acoustic Tweezers for Cancer Early Diagnosis
THIS IS A SELF FUNDED PROJECT. Medical imaging modalities are commonly used in hospital for cancer screening, but they are unable to diagnose early tumour development due to the limitation of detection size. Read more
Pharmaceutical Sciences - Exploring novel experimental therapeutics for mitochondrial
Primary mitochondrial genetic disease manifestations can involve almost all aspects of the eye. Mitochondrial disorders of the eye are often devastating genetic diseases, causing significant childhood and young adult blindness in the developed world. Read more
"Using CRISP/cas9 and 3D embryonic stem cell culture model to evaluate photobiomodulation therapy in OPA1 mitochondrial optic neuropathy”
Dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) is one of the commonest mitochondrial optic neuropathies (MONs) caused by mutation in a nuclear mitochondrial gene, OPA1. Read more
Non-Ubiquitin Mediated Targeted Degradation of Pathogenic Protein Aggregates
Start Date. 1st October 2021. Background. The ability to degrade targeted proteins is an exciting and emerging new field of drug discovery, with the first drug candidates undergoing clinical evaluation. Read more
PhD in Neuroimmunology - Unravelling the genetic basis and the functional relevance of the genetic association at the clusterin gene with risk of Alzheimer's disease
Hypothesis free, genome-wide association studies of AD have highlighted novel genes and biological pathways, not previously thought to play a role in disease, as pivotal in disease aetiology. Read more
EPSRC DTP Hub – Biosensors and Diagnostics
Cardiff University has established a new interdisciplinary training hub (IDTH) for a postgraduate student training and research program that addresses the urgent need for state-of-the-art biosensors and diagnostics. Read more
