(MRC DTP) Robust quantification of iron deposition in the heart using MRI
We are seeking a highly motivated student with a strong background in engineering or physics/physical chemistry with an interest in cardiac physiology and the mechanisms of heart failure. Read more
Understanding Dietary Fibre
Dietary fibre is recognised as a critical component of a healthy diet and there is strong evidence for its role in the prevention of non-communicable disorders such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus, as well as being an essential nutrient source for a functional gut microbiome.

(MRC DTP) Nanobioelectronics to Overcome Hypoxia: On-Demand Generation and Enhanced Diffusion of Oxygen for Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive form of brain tumor and only 5% of patients survive more than 5 years. One of the reasons behind this high mortality is the insufficient cellular oxygenation which reduces the effectiveness of chemo and radiotherapy. Read more
(MRC DTP) Enhancing the power of proteomics biomarker discovery by mass spectrometry
Our ability to measure proteins as biomarkers for disease diagnosis, prediction of prognosis or to support personalised medicine is critical to modern medical research. Read more
Expanding the Chemical Universe: 3D Features Driving Next-Gen Synthesis Predictions
Background. Small molecule drug discovery projects are time-consuming and expensive. More than half of that cost and even more of the time of each project is taken up by chemical synthesis. Read more
Putting a brain in the mobile robotic chemist
A fully funded PhD studentship is available in the area of computational chemistry/robotics in a chemical laboratory focusing on the development of the algorithmic infrastructure that underpins them. . Read more
Development of NMR Methods for the Study of Dynamics in Solids
One fully funded PhD studentship is available in the area of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of solids. The position is available for 42-months starting in October 2024. Read more
Ionic Motion in Solids: Advanced Solid-state NMR Spectroscopy Probing Dynamics
One fully funded PhD studentship is available in the area of ionic motion in solids. The position is available for 42-months starting in October 2024. Read more
(MRC DTP) On a hunt for more powerful, disease-specific anticancer therapy: targeting components of the mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum contact sites to prevent cancer initiation and progression
Background. Mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contact sites (MERCs) are subcellular locations where the two organelles are juxtaposed. Read more
(MRC DTP) Design of integrin inhibitors as small molecule modulators of fibrosis
Integrins are a family of protein receptors that play a major role in cell survival, growth and migration. Their function is to transmit signals across the cell membrane by undergoing an elegant large scale structural rearrangement. Read more
(MRC DTP) On a quest to find a cure against Alzheimer’s disease: selective demolition of proinflammatory microRNAs
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by chronic progressive loss of neurons and microglial activation, leading to severe functional impairment. Read more
(MRC DTP) Individual exposure to airborne exposures assessed by using personal monitoring devices
Exposure to air pollutants have been shown to adversely affect birth outcomes and detrimental to children’s health. Read more
(MRC DTP) Development of new antibacterials and antiviral beta-sheet forming peptides-based hydrogels.
One of the key engineering challenges in the life-science and biomedical sectors is the design and manufacturing of bespoke hydrogels for biomedical applications. Read more
