Bioelectrical control of epithelial cell behaviour
Bioelectrical behaviours, such as ion transport and action potential firing, are key features of “excitable” neuronal and muscle cells but are less well understood in “non-excitable” epithelial cells. Read more
MSc by Research: Molecular Glues for ALS: Restoring TDP-43 Localization for drug discovery
Proteins rarely function in isolation; instead, they form biomolecular complexes by interacting with other biomolecules, including DNA, RNA, and proteins. Read more
MSc by Research: Drugging the undruggable targets in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases
Cancer and neurodegenerative diseases are among the most challenging conditions to treat, and as life expectancy increases globally, the burden of these diseases continues to rise. Read more
Synthesis and Investigation of Hydrogen Isotope Adsorption and interactions in Novel Materials for Fusion Fuel Enrichment
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Sustainable Chemical Technologies. A Systems Approach (CSCT) at the University of Bath is offering a fully-funded, 4-year studentship to start in September 2025. Read more
Seeing the light: how the dynamic structure of rhodopsin enables deepwater vision.
The protein rhodopsin is involved in dim light vision and is known to have played a role in allowing mammals and fishes to exploit novel niches and diversify over evolutionary time. Read more
Investigating molecular determinants of cellular fate driven by air pollutants
Air pollution is a critical global issue with severe consequences for the environment, economy, and human health. 99% of the world’s population lives in areas where air pollution exceeds WHO guidelines, leading to accelerated ageing, increased mortality, and decreased health span [1,2,3]. Read more
Integrated computational and biochemical investigation of EGFR-mediated cell signaling
This PhD project is focused on understanding the mechanisms of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling and its role in cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Read more
Chemical surface functionalisation of waste biomass ash for sustainable dematerialisation of cementitious systems (RENU+24/HLS/APP/RAILTON)
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities Plus (ReNU+) is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
Intensified biochemical and hydrothermal biorefinery for lignocellulosic biomass valorisation: A circular economy approach (BioTherm)
Fermentation is a key upstream process in the food, feed, beverage, brewing, biopharmaceutical, and biotech sectors. It is a metabolic process in which microorganisms perform chemical reactions to transform specific carbohydrates into diverse compounds. Read more
Engineering Biocatalysis: Unleashing the Potential of Hyper-Thermostable Phosphorylated-Sugar Nucleotide Metabolising Enzymes
Thermostable enzymes have attracted much attention as they benefit from many advantages. Read more
Exploring enzyme-mediated degradation of plant biomass by in situ imaging for biosecurity
It is estimated by the food and agriculture organisation that the global loss of crops is between 20-40%, costing over $220 billion in losses. 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

Biochip Enzymologist: Single-molecule enzymology on biophotonics chips
PhD Studentship Advertisement. Biochip Enzymologist. Single-molecule enzymology on biophotonics chips. Project Overview. This exciting PhD studentship offers the opportunity to engage in pioneering research at the crossroads of integrated photonics technology, single-molecule sensing, and enzyme dynamics. Read more
Quantifying solute-solvent interactions for crystallization design
Most industrial crystallisation processes follow a ‘wet’ chemistry approach, i.e. they involve one or more solvents, but the outcome of a crystallization is not yet possible to predict. Read more
