Protein homeostasis is essential to the physiological function and viability of eukaryotic cells; particularly neurons, where proteome integrity must be maintained for decades. Read more
The ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes generally consist of tandem G-rich repeats (TTAGGGn in humans), which specifically recruit telomeric protein factors to form large nucleoprotein structures called telomeres. Read more
SMC complexes (cohesin, condensin and others) are essential organisers of genomes in all domains of life. At the centre of their activity is the ability to alter the path of DNA in three dimensions in an energy-dependent fashion. Read more
The human brain is unique in many ways, but perhaps the most obvious difference compared with other primates is its size. How the human brain gets to be so large during development specifically in humans is a question that has long intrigued neuroscientists but until recently was difficult to study. Read more
We study how sensory information is transformed into behaviour in the fly brain. We mostly use the olfactory system, because olfaction is a relatively shallow sense. Read more
A critical event in the origin of life is thought to have been the emergence of an RNA molecule capable of self-replication as well as mutation, and hence evolution towards ever more efficient replication. Read more
Cells are amazingly organized entities. Their resident proteins, nucleic acids, and small molecules are assembled into functional modules and organized among numerous membrane-bound cellular compartments. Read more
Information transfer in the brain occurs at synapses, where memories are stored as a result of synaptic plasticity processes. AMPA-type glutamate-receptors (AMPA-Rs), major ligand-gated ion channels, are the main mediators of signal transmission, and centrally contribute to synaptic plasticity. Read more
Although collaboration has been recognised as a necessary component of success in the construction industry, concepts like building information modelling (BIM), integrated project delivery (IPD) and target value design (TVD) are still emerging. Read more
Multiple Long-Term conditions (MLTC) are a major healthcare challenge associated with high service utilization and expenditure. In the project, the candidate will help develop robust and explainable AI methods for MLTC risk prediction. Read more
This project aims to construct an autonomous computer system (purposeful AI) that continuously collects and analyses datasets from various sources, to support fast-paced data-driven decision-making when dealing with recent or emerging crises. Read more
Medical image analysis using Deep Learning models involves training on progressively larger datasets. Homogeneity of data within the training set, particularly in its representation of diverse population sub-groups and various disease stages, substantially influences model effectiveness. Read more
In order to tackle the triple planetary crisis of climate change, air pollution and biodiversity loss, the current linear economy, which adheres to a take-make-use-dispose philosophy, is being transformed into a circular economy, aims to make more effective use of resources and thus creating a zero waste and emission ecosystem.

The University of Sheffield invites applications from outstanding candidates for this PhD scholarship opportunity. The project is looking at understanding the interplay of selfish routing, social norms and the availability of transport modes for the development of sustainable mobility at urban and regional scale. Read more
Background. Blockchain technology is a transformative innovation that has the potential to disrupt various sectors including finance, healthcare, and governance. Read more
