Therapeutic resolution of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) by natural products
Research Group:
Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a type of blood cancer where the patients do not have enough healthy blood cells. Read more
The role of vitamin D3 in treating skin cancer and preventing drug resistance
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
During the last decade numerous studies have alluded to vitamin D. 3. playing a role in the prevention of cancer. Recent clinical trials looking at the potential role of vitamin D. Read more
Exploring the role of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) in stem cells of serous ovarian cancer
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the leading cause of mortality in women due to gynaecological cancers. High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) accounts for 70-80% of patients with EOC. Read more
Investigating the cellular functions of Trappc9 in brain development and microcephaly
This PhD project will investigate the cellular functions of the Trafficking protein particle complex subunit 9 (Trappc9) and its roles in brain development. Read more

Developing a novel drug screening platform for schistosomes using the free-living flatworm Schmidtea mediterranea
Schistosoma mansoni is one of three major schistosome species that infect over 240 million people across 70 developing countries, with an additional 0.6 billion at risk of infection. Read more
Developing therapies targeting inflammation and dysfunctional matrix biology in neurological and ocular disease
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in inflammation and matrix biology in the eye and brain to join our team co-led by Dr Lisa Hill https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/clinical-sciences/hill-lisa.aspx and Dr Hannah Botfield https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/inflammation-ageing/botfield-hannah.aspx.

MSc by Research: Signaling pathways controlling epidermal development in cereals
Plants living on land face brutal threats from pests, dehydration and temperature. To survive and thrive, land plants evolved a waxy ‘cuticle’ and distinctive epidermal cells such as gas pores and defensive barbs. Read more
MSc by Research: Jasmonate control of barley development
From the earliest farmers to modern plant breeders, humans have continually modified the body plan of cereals, sometimes drastically, to generate higher grain yields. Read more
MSc by Research: The Generation Gap – understanding tissue communication during grain development
Cereal grain provides more calories than any other source to our diet, making grain production vital to food security. We study grain development in barley, a globally important cereal, and a powerful genetic model system. Read more
MSc by Research: Regulation of Architecture in Barley
Plant architecture, or body plan, plays a key role in determining grain yield of crop plants. However, we have little understanding of the molecular genetic basis of architecture in the temperate cereals such as barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), especially in comparison to the warm weather crops such as rice (Oryza sativa).

MSc by Research: Investigation of the interplay between the cell cycle and Notch intracellular domain levels in presomitic mesoderm cells in somitogenesis
One of the key processes in embryo development is somitogenesis. This is the formation of segments, known as somites, that go on to develop into bone and skeletal muscle. Read more
MSc by Research: Function of presomitic mesoderm specific phosphorylation of the Notch intracellular domain in somitogenesis
The Notch signalling pathway is one of the key pathways required for the developing embryo. It is especially important for the process of somitogenesis, the formation of body segments that develop into e.g. Read more
