CASE Project: Modulating the ageing skin microbiome with cold atmospheric plasma
This project will be undertaken in collaboration with Frontier Therapeutics Ltd and will involve a minimum 3-month placement based at the Industry Partner's premises. Read more
A Next-Generation 3D Skin Model for Insights into Healthy Aging
This PhD project offers an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of bioengineering and cellular biology, focusing on the creation of a cutting-edge 3D bioengineered human skin model. 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
The functional consequences of intra- and interspecific variation in the material properties of bird bone
In order to understand the variation in skeletal biodiversity generated by natural selection, we must also understand how skeletons function, and this requires detailed knowledge of the building material – bone. Read more
Translating the chemical cross-talk between plants and root symbionts through application of novel microfluidics devices
Plants associate with multiple symbionts. Some, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), can offer important nutritional benefits to their host whereas others, e.g. Read more
In situ studies of localisation, structure and interactions of TRPC5 ion channels
Membrane proteins are crucial to cellular function, such as recognition of – and interaction with – the extracellular environment and neighbouring cells, and controlling membrane dynamics, cellular signalling and transport of molecules and ions across membranes. Read more
Dynamics of metabolically-active biomolecular condensates
Membraneless organelles are functional subcellular structures that have been receiving increasing interest and attention in the biosciences community. Read more
Building orthogonal ribosome control for engineering biology
Background: . Genetic control challenges in both fundamental biology and biotechnology are effectively tackled by building functionally separated (orthogonal) systems within one cell. Read more
Elucidating lectin receptor signalling balance in dendritic cell function modulation in health and disease
The immune system is responsible to maintain safe environment for normal cell function. It achieves this by taking defence actions against harmful invaders but tolerance to beneficial substances. Read more
Harnessing mechanotransduction using magnetic nanoactuators to elicit cellular responses
Remote control of cellular responses based on mechanotransduction is a research field rapidly expanding both in basic research and clinical applications. Read more
Muscle-On-Chip Technologies for Space Flight Exploration (IDRT25/HLS/SPA/SIMOES)
Spaceflight is an extreme environment that causes premature ageing of skeletal muscle. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Targeting neural–stromal crosstalk in cancer
Growing evidence indicates that neural mediators play a role in cancer progression [1]. Our recent work demonstrates significant crosstalk between sensory neurons, cancer cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF). Read more
Developing in vitro 3D joint models using 3D bioprinting
We are recruiting new Doctoral Researchers to our EPSRC funded Doctoral Landscape Award (DLA) PhD studentships starting 1 October 2025. Read more
