Novel Bacterial-Host Stress Pathway Interactions: Targets for both Novel Anti-Microbial Resistance and Anti-inflammatory Therapeutics
The strength of this project is the multidisciplinary approach used to tackle two important global health concerns and to work in an inclusive, friendly environment. Read more
Engineering Bacteriophages: Orchestration of microbial community function in models of the Preterm infant Gut.
Are you fascinated by the intricate world of understanding the core biology and function of microbes and their impact on human health? Do you want to contribute to cutting-edge research engineering bacteriophages to reprogramme bacterial communities and how this could be used in health?. Read more
Decoding the secondary metabolic memory of a diatom phytoplankton
Our interpretation of biology is very much inclined towards what we can see with the naked eye, making us focus on the prominent forms of life surrounding us - the plants and animals. Read more
Towards sustainable and techno-economically feasible Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) production using CO2 and H2 as renewable feedstock
With the growing concerns on climate change and emphasis on moving into circular economies from a linear economy, future students and researchers will need to direct their focus towards sustainable strategies. Read more
The molecular basis of age-related changes to lumbosacral spinal autonomic and motoneurons.
Ageing may lead to a progressive loss of physiological function resulting in a reduced quality of life for elderly people. Significantly, many aged people suffer from bladder/bowel and sexual dysfunction, which can include constipation, incontinence and impaired sexual function. Read more
Novel Mechanisms Regulating Chromosome Condensation in Mitosis
Chromosome condensation is one of the most amazing processes in cell biology - rapidly compressing our DNA into dynamic cylindrical bodies that can be moved and manipulated by the cell machinery during mitosis. Read more
Syntrophic interactions in soda lakes in response to complex carbon source degradation.
Through this project, the student will directly contribute to understand the microbial ecology in extreme environments, such as soda lakes where the pH is extremely alkaline. Read more
Mechanobiology in manufacturing: Human cell therapies
Human stem cell therapies have passed full clinical trials and entered healthcare markets around the world, providing advanced regenerative and personalised medicines to treat complex disease. Read more
Development of a novel biosorbent material for removal of heavy metals from groundwater.
The north-east has a long tradition of mining and heavy industry including steel production that stretches back more than 150 years. Read more
Play in Insects - genetic and neurobehavioural characterisation of carousel-seeking flies
Project background. Voluntary passive movements such as swinging, sliding, or spinning represent a distinct form of locomotor play commonly featured in standard playgrounds. Read more
Engineering Nutrient-Independent and Controllable Germination of Bacillus Spores for Advanced Engineered Living Materials
This project offers a unique opportunity for the student to engage in cutting-edge research on Engineered Living Materials (ELMs), a rapidly growing field at the forefront of sustainable innovation. Read more
Testing novel, objective methods of measuring dietary intake
The last two decades have seen an enormous growth in research on the importance of the large intestine and its resident microbiota to human health and wellbeing. Read more
A phenotypic approach to generate new chemical tools within novel chemical space
Small molecule probes are increasingly important in developing our understanding of intracellular processes, giving the potential for real time quantification of behaviour at a sub-microscopic scale and permitting future pharmacological intervention. Read more
Comparative approaches to understand the evolution of the neuronal basis of defence behaviours in Drosophila
Project Background. Defence behaviours in face of a threat are ubiquitous in the animal kingdom, and their fast and flexible deployment is crucial for individual fitness and survival. Read more
The Production and Polymerisation of Bio-Based C2-C4 Diols for Industrial Applications.
Despite over sixty years of growing environmental awareness of the effect of fossil-fuel use on the environment and health, the ingredients for most materials used in everyday life are still largely sourced from petrochemicals. Read more
