Maintaining human lung - the role of fibroblasts and lipids in alveolar regeneration
The human lung is built by more than 50 cell types, which cooperate to create a beautiful organ essential for us to breathe. Critically, lack of regenerative capacity is a key feature of many chronic lung diseases and ageing. Read more
University of Bath URSA project: BREATHE: Development of bio-compatible adhesives for lung tissue repair
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
Modelling the biomechanical networks of the lung in heath and disease
We are looking for an exceptional student to take on an exciting interdisciplinary project at the interface of biomechanical modelling and respiratory medicine. Read more
Advanced Data Fusion Learning-Driven Computer-Aided Diagnosis Model for Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Early detection of lung cancer can improve treatment outcome, but it is often challenging due to the complexity of disease. Read more
Robotic Tendrils for High-Density Laser Light Delivery in Lung Cancer Therapy
Research Group:
School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
Lung cancer is the most deadly form of cancer worldwide, and there is an urgent need for new, less invasive treatment options. This project aims to develop a novel approach that combines nanoparticle-mediated laser therapy and soft robotics to destroy lung tumours. Read more
Nanoparticle delivery of antibiotics for treatment of pulmonary infection
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major global risk to human health by causing death, disability, longer hospitalisations, and increased healthcare costs. Read more
10+ fully funded PhD positions at the IMPRS for Molecular Organ Biology
Join the International Max Planck Research School for Molecular Organ Biology (IMPRS-MOB) and unlock a world of opportunities as a fully funded PhD candidate!. Read more
Elucidate the effect of dyssynchronisation between respiratory failure patient and mechanical ventilation support
Mechanically ventilated respiratory failure patients risk experiencing desynchronisation with ventilator support. This desynchronisation is known as patient-ventilator asynchrony (PVA). 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
Development of novel drug combinations for improved treatment of cancers of unmet need
Research Group:
Centre for Skin Sciences
The cancer incidence in UK has risen by 39% over the last decade and advanced disease (metastasis) has poor overall five-year survival rate (5%). Read more
A versatile tumour-on-a-chip platform for studying tumour cell metastasis and angiogenesis (S3.5-SMP-Bryant)
Studying metastasis and angiogenesis is essential for developing effective cancer treatments. Metastasis, the process by which cancer cells spread from the primary tumour to other parts of the body, is responsible for the majority of cancer-related deaths. Read more
Precision Medicine DTP - A Personalized Approach - Putting the Squeeze on Mesothelioma
Research Group:
Centre for Inflammation Research
Additional supervisor - Prof Janne Lehtioe (Karolinska Institutet). Background. Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) is an asbestos induced, infiltrative, aggressive and incurable cancer that originates in the pleural lining of the lung. Read more
