Realistic simulation of aerosolised drug deposition in the lungs of people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) based on pulmonary magnetic resonance imaging
We are looking for an exceptional student to join this exciting and innovative multi-centre interdisciplinary project funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Read more
Structure based design of novel warheads for use in peptide-drug conjugates
Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukaemia (CMML) is an orphan disease defined by myeloid dysplasia, myeloproliferation and a malignant expansion of classical monocytes. Read more
Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins in the DNA damage response and cancer
A self-funded PhD studentship is available in the laboratories of Christine Schmidt, Stefan Meyer and Anthony Whetton. Read more
Spatio-temporal dynamics of reactive oxygen species in mixed biofilms
Bacterial cells typically live in a spatially structured community known as a biofilm. Understanding of how cells in a mixed biofilm modify micro-environments and generate complex temporal environmental variations is still poor. Read more
Adults with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA): the impact of a long-term chronic disease on ongoing arthritis, quality of life, and mental health
Understanding how juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), the most common chronic inflammatory musculoskeletal disease in children and young people, affects later adult-life has been prioritised by individuals living with JIA/families, European arthritis organisations, and charities. Read more
Nitrate supplementation in pregnancy: maternal, fetal and offspring outcomes
Maternal diet has a significant impact on fetal growth and development, as well as pregnancy outcomes and long-term offspring health. Dietary patterns… Read more

The World Health Organization (2021) report falls as the second leading cause of accidental injury or death, with 37.3 million severe falls annually. Read more
(WIS) Exploring macrophage function in oral health and inflammation
The project will be undertaken at two locations - the University of Manchester and Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. The time spent at each institution is flexible and will be determined by project progression. Read more
Neuroimmunology of concussion
Concussion, or mild traumatic brain injury, affects millions world-wide each year. It is now appreciated that a history of concussion increases the risk of developing long-term emotional and neurocognitive disorders. 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
Defining the molecular mechanisms of leukaemia chemotherapies
Chemotherapies are usually the backbone of cancer treatment for either curative or palliative patient care. Multiple therapies can be used for the same disease, with the choice of drug dependent on parameters such as the patient’s age and fitness. Read more
Exploring molecular mechanisms of drug resistance and pathogenicity in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus
A. fumigatus is the primary etiological agent of invasive aspergillosis, a disease that primarily affects individuals who are immunocompromised, and causes 200k life threatening infections annually. Read more
Characterisation of PA protease from Micrococcus luteus as a novel approach to the management of eczema
The chronic inflammatory skin disease, eczema, now affects approximately 15% of the paediatric population of the Western world and is growing in prevalence. Read more
