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
An innovative data/system science and AI-based approach for nonlinear electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of battery cells/systems - S3.5-ELE-Lang
Battery systems are the most challenging component in terms of costs, durability, weight, performance and safety in many applications such as drive-train of electric vehicles. Read more
Improved metal oxide charge transport layers for perovskite solar cells (S3.5-CMB-Dunbar)
The solar panel industry is undergoing a rapid transition with prices falling and adoption of solar power increasing rapidly. As part of this transition highly efficient perovskite solar cells are now entering the market. Read more
Sending in the messenger: novel nanotechnology-based delivery methods for advanced cancer therapeutics - S3.5-DEN-Murdoch
The incidence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has risen by 60% in the last decade in the UK. Current treatment involves surgery followed by radiotherapy, intravenous chemotherapy, and/or immunotherapy, with the latter having profound off-target toxicity and limited success rate. Read more
Utilising an innovative anticancer formulation alongside a low-level laser (Red and Blue) tailored to specific modifications to promote anticancer effects and expedite the repair of damaged cells.
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
The application of low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also recognised as photobiomodulation, uses low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to modulate cellular function. Read more
Making High Efficiency Flexible Solar Cells
Perovskite based solar cells have the advantages of highly efficient conversion of sunlight into electricity. However, at present there are challenges in making solar cells from these materials. Read more
Improvement of the efficiency of PEM fuel cells through the use of appropriate sealing means
Fuel cells are very strong competitors to the conventional energy conversion technologies which are responsible for the emission of the greenhouse gases. Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Regulation of transcription replication conflicts in cancer: mechanism and functional implications in acute myeloid leukemia
This project focuses on the emerging field of transcription-replication conflicts (TRCs) in cancer. In cancer cells, oncogenic transcription is essential for unrestricted cancer cell proliferation, yet it also causes genomic instability during DNA synthesis. Read more
Polariton-Enhanced Upconversion for High-Efficiency Perovskite Solar Cells (S3.5-CMB-Oliver)
Solar cells are a cornerstone of the pursuit of sustainable energy. To make solar power more efficient and affordable, we need new materials and innovative designs. Read more
Rheological property of the printed inks and film morphology evolution for the low-cost printed organic solar cells
Organic solar cells have received tremendous attention owing to their advantages of light-weight, flexible and roll-to-roll printing compatible. Read more
Sustainable Carbon Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Energy Conversion in Hydrogen Fuel Cells
The Hydrogen Economy will help to shift society away from fossil fuels and contribute to decarbonisation. Electrochemical processes are at the heart of the hydrogen economy providing a means to convert renewable energy into green hydrogen via electrolysis or converting hydrogen into electrical power using fuel cells. Read more
Studying protein homeostasis in healthy and malignant stem cells
This PhD will focus on studying the protein biology of healthy and malignant stem cells of the blood system. Read more
Mechanisms of Cancer Stem Cell Survival, Metastasis Formation and Immune Evasion in Cancer
Recent research suggests that cancer cells within a tumour represent a highly heterogeneous cell population. In particular many tumours contain small percentage of cells that share several characteristics with stem cells. 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
Efficient PEM fuel cells for portable applications
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells are an efficient technology which can be used in a wide portable, automotive and stationary applications. Read more
