Novel Applications of Liquid AP-MALDI MS
This project aims to make step changes in biological mass spectrometry by combining the advantages of the two main ionisation techniques in mass spectrometry, i.e. Read more
Microneedle delivery systems for next-generation antibody therapeutics
Microneedle arrays are minimally-invasive devices that painlessly, and without drawing blood, penetrate the skin’s stratum corneum barrier. Read more
Bio-inspired liquid-like coatings for medical devices to combat biofilms and associated infections
Biofilms are microbial cells embedded within a self-secreted extracellular polymeric substance matrix, which are central to some of the most urgent global challenges across diverse fields of application, from medicine to industry and exert considerable economic and social impact. Read more
3D-Printing of implantable devices for the treatment of chronic conditions
Non-adherence to treatment costs the NHS more than £500M each year. Adherence is especially important when treating patients with chronic conditions that require lifetime pharmacological treatment, such as schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease, HIV and Alzheimer’s disease. Read more
Biocatalytic synthesis of deuterium-stabilised pharmaceuticals (sponsored by AstraZeneca)
A fully-funded PhD studentship is available for an outstanding and ambitious chemist to undertake research in the field of biotechnology and pharmaceutical chemistry in a collaborative project between the Future Biomanufacturing Research Hub and AstraZeneca. Read more
[Organic Electrosynthesis] - Drugs & Hydrogen - [EU funded project)
Funding note. The grant will cover the Home (UK, EU (pre)-settled and Ireland) tuition fees and offer a stipend in line with UKRI. Read more
Designing Cements for Martian and Lunar Construction
Human settlements on celestial bodies such as the Earth’s moon and Mars were imagined as early as the 17th century and have recently received increased attention because of NASA’s Artemis mission and “Journey to Mars” plan, as well as SpaceX’s Mars program. Read more
Developing next generation sunscreens by learning from nature
About the project. Due to the potentially damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure to humans, solar protection is required. Read more
GREENCDT Synthesis and characterisation of mixed actinide oxalates for the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuels
The COEX (co-extraction of uranium and plutonium) process for reprocessing of spent nuclear fuels involves coprecipitation of plutonium(III) and uranium(IV) oxalates via the reaction between Pu/U nitrates and oxalic acid. Read more
GREENCDT Field Assisted Sintering of Nuclear Fuel Simulants
The expected remaining lifetime of the UK’s Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors (AGRs) will result in the generation of ~5,000t of AGR Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF). Read more
Understanding mechanochemistry for applications in sustainable agrochemical and pharmaceutical synthesis
Mechanochemistry is a solvent-free method of synthesis and as such is a promising approach to more sustainable chemical manufacturing. Read more
Parametric study of electrolyte flow in 3D-printed operando redox flow cells
Redox flow batteries (RFB) are a promising technology for stationary energy storage systems which will become a real necessity as we transition to a low-carbon… Read more
Towards a net zero society: transforming carbon dioxide into fuels using electricity and light
The large-scale conversion of carbon dioxide into synthetic fuels, such as methanol, is an attractive prospect which could alleviate our reliance on fossil fuels and help achieve our net zero goals. Read more
Design and Synthesis of Sustainable Electrolytes for Redox Flow Batteries Based on Abundant Metals
Redox flow batteries (RFB) are a promising technology for stationary energy storage systems which will become a real necessity as we transition to a low-carbon energy landscape that relies more heavily on intermittent renewable energy. Read more
Mechanistic Investigations in Homogeneous Catalysis
The production of important fine chemicals, such as pharmaceuticals, relies on the use of homogeneous catalysis. Many key transformations are performed with organometallic, molecular, transition metal complexes. Read more
