Novel Polycyclic Beta-lactams: New Antibiotics?

The quest for novel antibiotics is an important challenge for organic chemists. Novel modifications of old bioactive cores is a central part of this quest. Read more

British Weird Fiction Since 1850

This is an opportunity to research aspects of weird, gothic, and supernatural fiction in British and Irish writing from the 1850s to the present. Read more

Funded PhD Studentships at the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Offshore Wind Energy Sustainability and Resilience

The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Offshore Wind Energy Sustainability and Resilience supports exceptional graduates into exciting research projects that aid the sustainable growth of the offshore wind industry. Read more

Funded Vice Chancellors Scholarships in Inclusive Engineering; People to Products (2 PhDs available)

Engineering is potentially the most important career in the world, influencing the lives of billions of people worldwide due to the enormous range of tools, equipment and products designed or created by engineers. Read more

Advancing public service design in the age of digitalisation: Can public service ecosystems manage digital decarbonisation under austerity?

As governments worldwide accelerate the adoption of digital technologies to enhance service delivery (eg service automation, smart cities, connected infrastructure etc), understanding the environmental consequences becomes paramount. Read more

Advanced optical diagnostics for temperature measurement in gas turbine flames

This project aims to develop advanced optical methods for measurement within the combustion environment. The project will be conducted within the state-of-the-art NCCAT labs with a focus on delivering optical temperature measurements that are applicable to aerospace gas turbines. Read more

Fully funded PhD studentships in Resilient Infrastructure

The School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering aims to be the world's leading integrated centre for built environment research, education, and learning, and is committed to investing in the next generation of exceptional researchers. Read more

Characterisation of High Shear Mixers for process Intensification

High shear mixers such as rotor-stators, ultrasonicators, and high-pressure jets, are used for dispersion processes during the manufacture of numerous high-value products. Read more

Start-up strategies for battery electric vehicles and aircraft in cold climates

The battery electric vehicle (BEV) has the potential to decarbonise the transport sector through the use of renewable electricity and zero tailpipe emissions, however, limited vehicle range remains a significant issue. Read more

Novel High-Performance Coatings- Product and Process Development

Coatings are used for a wide range of applications with formulations developed or adapted according to the needs specific to the surfaces they are used on- smoothness, brightness, scratch resistance are among these. Read more

Understanding control of genome folding by cohesin

Our basic goal is to understand how chromatin structure influences gene regulation. Chromatin is generally repressive in nature but its structure is manipulated by cells in a regulated way to determine which genes are potentially transcriptionally active and which genes remain repressed in a given cell type. Read more

Revealing Reactivity in Cancer-Associated Heme Proteins: Novel Time-Resolved Structural Approaches

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is a heme-containing enzyme involved in the degradation of tryptophan to kynurenine. Cancer cells upregulate IDO1 to escape normal immune responses and, in many cases, a high expression of IDO1 is connected to poor prognosis. Read more

Chemical energy conversion in biology studied using advanced spectroscopic and structural tools

Redox properties of metal-containing active sites are critically important to many biocatalytic processes. one third of all proteins contain a redox-active metal, and ca 22% of submissions to the Protein Data Bank contain a transition metal. Read more

Natural products in bacterial physiology and chemical interaction

Microbial natural products have diverse chemical structures and bioactivities, which range from cell-cell signalling, nutrient acquisition, antifungal and antibacterial activity to stress resistance (1). Read more

Short and long-term genetic and behavioural consequences of traumatic brain injury in fruit flies

General background . How many fingers am I holding up? What day of the week is it? Follow my finger? These three questions are designed to test your sensory, memory and motor neural abilities following an accident; all three systems are affected by a severe deceleration of your brain. Read more

Understanding the role of pigmentation in retinal and vision development

Establishing structure-function correlations in vision development  . The aim of this project is to develop methods to study the relationship between pigmentation and vision development in humans and zebrafish.  . Read more

Nuclear and transcriptional dysregulations during cellular senescence

Cellular senescence, which is characterised by a proliferation arrest, is a driver of ageing (1). Several stresses can induce cellular senescence, including persistent DNA damage, telomere dysfunction, and oncogene activation. Read more

Obtaining insights into how a signalling hub protein Ras activates multiple effectors

The RAS family of small GTPases act as signalling hubs regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. They are highly conserved from yeast to humans, highlighting their fundamental biological roles. Read more

The Role of Reactive Sulfur Species in the Ageing Heart

Second Supervisor. Prof Melanie Madhani, University of Birmingham. Background . Ageing is a natural and complex biological process that involves the gradual deterioration of cells, tissues, and organ systems over time, thus leading to an increased susceptibility to diseases and mortality.
