Improved Forensic Analysis by Pure Shift NMR Spectroscopy
This PhD project aims to advance the understanding and application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods in the analysis of complex samples. Read more
Engineering Ice-Binding Proteins
Ice-binding proteins are produced by extremophiles to help them survive in the worlds coldest places. They have many potential applications, from the storage of cells/tissue to transport infrastructure. Read more
High-throughput biomaterials discovery
Polymer biomaterials have revolutionised a range of areas from drug delivery, to antimicrobials, to cellular cryopreservation. There are 1000’s of possible monomer combinations, molecular weights and architectures to be explored, and even small differences can dramatically change their properties. Read more
New strategies to cryopreserve cell-based therapies
In the past decade, cell-based therapies have emerged to transform the treatment of disease, particularly cancer. Whilst potent, these therapies are challenging to deliver in practise as must be stored frozen (cryopreserved). Read more
Degradable and resorbable polymeric cryoprotectants
Extremophiles have evolved to survive in the world’s coldest environments, through the production of specialised macromolecules, such as antifreeze proteins and ‘ice nucleating proteins. Read more
Taking Light Induced Electron Paramagnetic Resonance In Cell for Biological Structural Determination
Studying the structure of proteins and other biological systems is an important step in understanding their function. Most structural studies are conducted in environments that are far away from native conditions, such as those found inside a cell. Read more
Developing novel Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Methods for Pulsed Dipolar Spectroscopy and Quantum Information Processing
In the last decade significant improvements in the hardware available for Electron Paramagnetic Resonance measurements. Read more
NMR approaches for understanding mass transfer in microbial biofilms and sessile microbial communities
Biofilms are structured sessile communities of microorganisms with relevance in many areas of life. They are almost omnipresent in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Read more
Shining A Light On Magnetic Resonance
Many important reactions and processes in chemistry and biochemistry are started by light. A photon of light interacts with a molecule, or part of a molecule, known as a chromophore generating an excited state in which an electron is promoted into a higher energy orbital. Read more
Enzymes Electrified: The Electrochemical Leaf
Enzymes, nature’s catalysts, are at the core of diverse areas of scientific research, from studying their malfunction in disease, to their use as biocatalysts for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, or even the breakdown of plastic waste, to their potential as antibiotic targets, to name a few. Read more
Organic crystals made by nanoconfinement: from synthesis to applications
The topic of confinement of molecules, atoms and ions into a nano-space is attracting a lot of attention as molecules behave in a different way when spatially constrained. Read more
New NMR methods for complex mixture analysis
Applications are invited from students with independent funding for PhD research in the development and application of novel methods in NMR spectroscopy. Read more
Kinetic analysis guided by artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing all aspects of society, including the field of science, and chemistry is no exception. Read more
Biocatalytic Synthesis and Degradation of Organosilicon Compounds
In synthetic chemistry, there has been increasing prominence in the use of engineered enzymes to execute chemical transformations. Read more
Synthetic and Mechanistic Studies into Enzymatic Degradation of Waste Plastics
Plastics are a broad range of solid polymeric materials that have found widespread application globally. However, there has been a steady accumulation of discarded plastics and there is now growing awareness that they present a significant hazard to the natural environment and human health. Read more
