MRes - Developing novel drug-like candidates targeting resistant melanoma disease: design, synthesis, and biological evaluation (SAS0205).
There are over 132,000 cases of melanoma reported globally each year. The World Health Organization predicts that by 2040, this number will approach 500,000 annually. Read more
Expanding the capabilities of the Molecular Simulation Design Framework (MoSDeF)
Supervisors. Clare McCabe and Peter T. Cummings (Heriot-Watt University). Read more
Development of nano-formulation strategies to enhance the therapeutic potential of host defence peptides for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (Project ID SAS0208)
A 3-year PhD studentship is available for drug discovery research on Host Defence Peptides (HDPs) at Edinburgh Napier University (ENU). Read more
MRes - Establishing the toxicological impact on human health of chemical mixtures found in micro- and nanoplastics (SAS0197)
The global production and lack of adequate disposal of plastic products has led to a ubiquitous and persistent presence of gradually degrading plastics, degrading over decades to nano- and microplastic particles (MNPs) with fragments of different sizes and shapes. Read more
Unlocking the role of environmental cues in phenological change
Are you an ecologist with a strong quantitative background, an interest in responses to climate change, prediction, and modelling? Then this project might be for you!. Read more
Modelling synergistic interactions between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a.k.a. “forever chemicals”, with cell painting and machine learning
We are all exposed to a myriad of chemicals through the environment, throughout the day. By air, water, and food, everyone is continuously exposed to hundreds of chemicals at low levels. Read more
Development of a miniature fibre-optic Raman probe for biomedical applications.
Raman spectroscopy is a vibrational spectroscopy technique that enables the label-free identification and classification of materials, including biological materials such as live tissues. Read more
mRNA display based development of peptidic chemical tools to modulate SUMOylation.
SUMOylation is an important, highly dynamic post-translational modification which involves the conjugation of a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) to a lysine residue of a protein [1]. Read more
Technologies for circulating tumour DNA preparation
We are seeking a PhD student with expertise in bioengineering, molecular biology or related areas to improve methods to process, detect and characterize circulating molecular biomarkers for oncological applications. Read more
UKRI AI CDT in Biomedical Innovation
We will train 60+ doctoral researchers over the next 8 years (2024-2032), who will design, develop, and implement AI approaches in partnership with our external stakeholders. Read more
Understanding the skin barrier through molecular simulation
Supervisor. Clare McCabe (Heriot-Watt University) . The barrier function of skin is known to be localized to the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin. Read more
Biomechanical Investigation of Tendinopathy: A Multiscale Study
Overview. This PhD project aims to address the prevalent issue of tendinopathies, which significantly impact the general population and pose substantial socio-economic challenges globally. Read more
High-resolution imaging of the human neuromuscular junction
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is the final synapse linking the nervous system to skeletal muscle, critical for all movements of the body. Read more
Fully Funded EPSRC PhD Scholarship in Vegetated urban rain gardens for the management of hydroclimatic stressors
Rapid growth of urban areas has highlighted the importance of integrating high-quality green infrastructure into urban planning to create sustainable, resilient and liveable cities. Read more
Revealing the Mystery of Scotch Whisky – Process Monitoring of Scotch Whisky Production
For further information and an informal discussion on the project, prior to applying, please contact D.Ellis@hw.ac.uk. Historically, the production of Scotch has been characterized by tradition and permanence. Read more
