The Influence of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on the Development and Prevention of Skin Cancers (Ref: AACME-24-018)
Background. biomedical application of fish oil-derived omega-3 fatty acids. Dietary intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids from fish oils has been shown to have various beneficial effects against inflammation and inflammatory diseases, as well as anti-tumour effects. Read more
Nanoparticle synthesis and application in magnetic field hyperthermia for cancer therapy
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Magnetic field hyperthermia (MFH) is currently undergoing clinical trials for use in humans. The research to date has shown the effectiveness of the approach in cells and animal models and the initial results from human trials are promising. Read more
Electrifying Cells! Exploring the role of bioelectronic stimulation and bioelectric signalling, with a focus on influencing stem cell behaviour
Electrical stimulation of cells and tissues has been observed to help with healing processes, for example in bone regeneration. Within the NHS, some fracture clinics use electrical stimulation as a to promote healing, often when other methods fail. 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
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
Understanding how electrical communication can regulate metabolic cycles in bacteria biofilms
Project Overview. A biofilm is a robust form of bacteria colony resistant to antibiotics. They have significant impacts on a multitude of industries impacting health and industrial processes such as in food production and water security. Read more
BBSRC NWD: Manipulating the Immune System's Interaction with Biomaterials to Guide Immunomodulatory Responses for Optimised Therapeutic Interventions
Due to their ability to integrate with biological systems, biomaterials are increasingly used in regenerative medicine, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. Read more
Quantum imaging of bioelectric signalling in colorectal cancer organoids
This project is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Technology Engineering at the University of Southampton https://qte.ac.uk/). Read more
University of Bath URSA project: Computational modelling of electromechanical signalling in cells for the development of electroactive cytoskeletal gels
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
Using 3D cultured fat to identify new treatments for diabetes
This project is one of 17 four year PhD Studentships funded by Medical Research Scotland (MRS) (https://www.medicalresearchscotland.org.uk) to be delivered jointly by the named University and External Partner Organisation (EPO). Read more
Investigating the Disruption of Invading Breast Cancer Cells to the Regenerative Capacity of Bone Cells in a Tissue Engineered Tumour Microenvironment
Metastasis in breast cancer reduces five-year survival rates in the UK from 99% to 15%[1]. One of the most common sites for tumour metastasis is bone, affecting approximately 70% of patients with over 24,000 in the UK alone[1]. Read more
Understanding Spinal Cord Regeneration: The role of dynamic gene expression
Spinal cord injury(SCI) paralysis is a devastating disease that affects at least 2500 people per year in the UK. It carries substantial individual and societal costs with most SCI sufferers experiencing chronic pain. Read more
Designing microbial co-cultures for the production of biocontrol solutions (C3.5-CMB-Pandhal)
Engineering biology through co-cultivation of microorganisms is an emerging area of synthetic biology, it can also help in understanding microbial interactions and their ecological roles, but also to create new and novel products. Read more
A foundation model for C elegans brain dynamics
AI_CDT_DecisionMaking. Details. Neuroscience techniques for interfacing with brains have dramatically improved in the last two decades. 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
