What makes mammalian cells tick?
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
Visualization of mammalian telomeric complexes
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
Molecular mechanisms of SMC Complexes
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
How signals inside the brain make our brains big
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
Neural Circuits for Sex and Memory in the Fly
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
Replicating RNA with RNA
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
Protein maturation, quality control, and disease
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
AMPA receptor structure and function
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
Development of framework to promote model-drive practice that would enhance “collaborative costing” approach across value chain in construction.
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
Explainable prediction modelling for early detection of risks in multiple long-term conditions using health records data
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
EcoGuardian: Transforming Urban Sustainability with AI-Driven Air Quality Solutions
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
Exploration of deep learning based generative adversarial networks (GANs) to mitigate bias in the evaluation of medical images among diverse population and disease sub-groups
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
Product design optimisation for automated disassembly and recycling
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. Read more
Individual decisions for transport network efficiency and sustainability
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
Development and Validation of Security Metrics and Predictive Models for Blockchain Ecosystems
Background. Blockchain technology is a transformative innovation that has the potential to disrupt various sectors including finance, healthcare, and governance. Read more
