MSc by Research: Feel the tension – how does S-acylation of OSCA ion channels regulate responses to environmental change in plants?
Plants, being sessile organisms, must sense and respond to environmental change, such as temperature or drought, without being able to move. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Feel the tension – how does S-acylation of OSCA ion channels regulate responses to environmental change in plants?
Plants, being sessile organisms, must sense and respond to environmental change, such as temperature or drought, without being able to move. Read more
China Scholarship Council: PROTACs in plants - effectiveness, biological mechanisms and implications for use
Agriculture for the future. climate change, expanding populations, emerging pathogens and water constraints. . Food production must increase by 50% by 2050 to feed the global population in the face of climate change, while using less water, pesticide and fertilizer (UN FAO). Read more
Knitwear longevity and regeneration
This project builds on work by Martha Glazzard and Claire Adholla about the sustainability of knitwear construction and manufacturing practices. Read more
Developing new methods of assessing non-clinical topics in medical education
Medical education is increasingly moving into a competency-based model, where the emphasis on fact learning has decreased, and learners are required to demonstrate understanding of concepts beyond core science and pathophysiology. Read more
Corrosion and Microstructural Properties of Combined Microalloyed Mangalloys
Mangalloys are mostly suitable in extreme impact conditions thanks to their excellent self-hardening properties and high impact strength. Read more
Corrosion Optimization of Additively Manufactured High-manganese (high-Mn) Steels
High-manganese (high-Mn) steels are limited in their application due to their low with moderate corrosion resistance, but their electrochemical properties can further be enhanced especially in harsh environmental conditions. Read more
How do medical programmes decide the core basic science content?
This PhD would explore how educators from basic science and clinical backgrounds make decisions about the core content to include in the "basic science" components of undergraduate medical curricula. Read more

Investigating efflux transporter liabilities of Targeted Protein Degraders
Funding – School of Life Sciences; funded 4-year studentship, providing tuition fees, training/research costs and an annual tax free stipend of £19,236 . Read more
MSc by Research: Targeted protein degradation in plants – developing “Green PROTACs” for functional analysis of lethal genes
Climate change is one of the biggest threats to global food production, leading to unpredictable weather patterns and geographical migration of pathogens. Read more
MSc by Research: Regulation and mechanics in polarized trafficking
Membranes and their protein organization are a frontier in our understanding of cell biology. We focus on polarized trafficking as a model to uncover fundamental mechanisms in the organization of structures at membranes. Read more
MSc by Research: Speeding up the plant microbiota: investigating the impact of speed breeding on host-microbe interactions in the barley rhizosphere
Feeding a growing world population amid climatic modifications and international conflicts represents an unprecedent challenge for crop production. Read more
MSc by Research: Glueing proteins together with small molecules
Recent advances from the Ciulli Lab and others have contributed to the establishment of a game-changing new modality of chemical intervention into biological system – one that moves beyond the state-of-the-art. Read more
MSc by Research: Signaling pathways controlling epidermal development in cereals
Plants living on land face brutal threats from pests, dehydration and temperature. To survive and thrive, land plants evolved a waxy ‘cuticle’ and distinctive epidermal cells such as gas pores and defensive barbs. Read more
MSc by Research: The Generation Gap – understanding tissue communication during grain development
Cereal grain provides more calories than any other source to our diet, making grain production vital to food security. We study grain development in barley, a globally important cereal, and a powerful genetic model system. Read more
