Understanding metabolism in the blood cancer multiple myeloma and its precursor condition MGUS
Applications will be reviewed until a suitable candidate is appointed and funding is available. Read more
Polmorphisms in cytosolic drug metabolising enzymes: a combined proteomics and modelling approach to clinical impact
Cytosolic drug metabolising enzymes such as aldehyde oxidase play a pivotal role in metabolism of drugs. However, research into cytosolic enzymes has been relatively neglected in comparison with membrane bound enzymes such as cytochrome P450 (CYP) and uridine 5’-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs).

Self Funded PhD Project: Studies on the Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of a Novel Bioactive Indane Scaffold
A wide range of bioactive indane based scaffolds are employed clinically as treatment of many disease states, including inflammatory [1], cancer [2] and neurological conditions [3] and also in the treatment of HIV [4]. Read more
Transferring mass spectrometry from the laboratory to the clinic for metabolic biomarkers in human health and disease
Please note, applications will be reviewed until a suitable candidate is appointed and funding is available. Read more
Enhancing clinical metabolomic studies through improved laboratory and bioinformatics tools
Applications will be reviewed until a suitable candidate is appointed and funding is available. Metabolites play many important roles in humans including in metabolism of food, synthesis of proteins and DNA, in signalling and regulation of biochemical mechanisms and in the development and progression of diseases.

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
Application of advanced analytical methods to study key aspects of health and disease
Considerable advances in the analytical capabilities of modern techniques afford a new horizon in the study of health and disease. Read more

The role of haem in regulating the biological clock
Heme is a small organic molecule containing iron at the centre. No eukaryote has ever been identified that can survive without heme. Read more
Design and Synthesis of novel analogues of Hipposudoric Acid for therapeutic use
Research into novel antimicrobial agents has never been more pressing with the ever-increasing resistance towards traditional medications. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Rhythms of hormones and cytokines in health and disease.
We have developed a novel system to measure tissue levels of hormones, metabolites and inflammatory mediators over the full 24 hours in people going about their normal everyday lives. Read more
Microalgal Carbon Sequestration Towards a Carbon Negative Economy
The increasing CO2 emissions to the atmosphere is a major environmental crisis that is in immediate need of innovative solutions. Read more
Algal Bioplastics
Single use plastic is a major environmental concern that is urgently in need of innovative solutions. Microalgae are photosynthetic organisms that can be employed to develop processes that are environmentally sustainable. Read more
Algae Feedstock for Energy Security
A major challenge in contemporary energy and environmental management is to develop processes for food and energy security that are environmentally sustainable. Read more
Investigation of volatile signalling molecules from interactions between Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans in lung infection
Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans are commensal microbes which can become pathogenic and cause serious illness, especially in hospitalised patients. Read more
