Sustainable Biomaterials and Biopolymers for Next Generation Industrial Applications (Ref: RDFC23/HLS/APP/UNTHANK)
This fully-funded PhD project will develop new sustainable materials, bioplastic, biopolymers and biocomposites from plant sourced monomers such as furfuryl alcohol. Read more
Optimising the therapeutic effects of blood flow restriction exercise within UK Defence Rehabilitation practice. Ref: RDFC22/HLS/SER/CAPLAN
Pain is among the primary limiting factors to progress in individuals experiencing musculoskeletal injury (MSKI) and may be caused by trauma or degenerative factors. Read more
Competing with the boys: The technical, tactical, and physical demands of same and mixed-gender competition in elite youth girl’s football (ref: RDFC23/HLS/SER/HENDRY)
There is a dearth of research exploring the optimal developmental pathways of elite female athletes (Peters, Hendry, Hodges, 2022). Read more
Synthesis and Evaluation of Chromogenic Substrates for Bacterial Detection (Ref RDFC23/HLS/APP/TETARD)
Early, reliable, and quick detection of bacteria is a critical tool for the correct and timely use of antibiotics to fight infections. Read more
Green synthesis of probes for microbial detection using biocatalysis (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/TURNBULL)
This project requires a talented student with a background in biology, biochemistry, or chemistry to make a library of compounds to be used in the detection and identification of pathogenic bacteria and yeasts. Read more
Novel epoxy-thermoset polymers for sustainable and recyclable applications (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/UNTHANK)
Epoxy thermoset polymers are essential for the creation of high-performance materials, plastics, coatings and composites and have important applications in renewable infrastructure (wind turbine blades), structural adhesives and lightweight aerospace composites (for more energy efficient travel). Read more
Drug discovery for amyloid plaques based neurodegenerative disorders (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/MEERA)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) followed by Parkinson’s Disease (PD) are the two most prominent causes of dementia that poses a huge health burden in an increasingly ageing population worldwide. Read more
Processing biomass waste for remediation of polluted waters through targeted engineered nanoparticles and nanomaterials (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/GIRON)
Humans are significantly transforming the Earth’s ecosystem by generating waste that leads to contamination of land surface and water, among other environmental problems. Read more
Estimation of food portion sizes through smartphone images (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/BROWNLEE)
Accurate and precise assessment of dietary intake is crucial to consideration of population-to individual-level patterns of food consumption with clear links to consequent impacts on long-term health and national/global food requirements. Read more
Transforming neuro-pathology with deep learning (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/Schwalbe)
Medulloblastoma is the most common central nervous system tumour of childhood. Although advances in treatment have raised survival to ~75%, there remains significant numbers of patients who die of their disease. Read more
Hypoxia and HIF signalling in TME as regulators of pro- and anti- tumour-associated immune cell functions (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/GIELING)
Hypoxia (low oxygen tension) and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 and HIF-2 signalling are environmental cues on the immune system in both acute and chronic human diseases. Read more
Using genomics and proteomics to determine age-related changes in murine bowel. (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/Ranson)
Disrupted homeostasis linked to ageing can result in a significant loss of physiological function and a reduced quality of life for elderly people. Read more
THE CELLULAR ORIGIN OF SPATIAL DIFFERENCES FOR THE MATURATION OF LIGHT RESPONSES (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/HILGEN)
Vision is probably our most important sense. Vision starts in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. It is a well-layered structure with synaptic (connections of neurons) and nuclear (cell bodies) layers. Read more
Bloodstain pattern analysis: How do environmental conditions and recipient surfaces effect the distribution of bloodstains observed following impact events? (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/GRAHAM)
Bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) is a well-established method used to assist forensic scientists and investigating officers to understand what events may have occurred at a crime scene, where blood has been shed. Read more
