A bioengineered 3D model of obesity-related breast cancer to investigate the anti-tumour immune response induced by exercise (Ref: SSEHS/MM25)

Background. Breast cancer diagnoses affect 1 in 7 UK women, estimated to coast ~£3.6 billion by 2034 (breastcancernow.org). Lifestyle factors, including sedentary behaviour and obesity, significantly influence breast cancer risk, with inactivity alone costing ~£7.4 billion/year (www.gov.uk/phe). Read more
 Supervisors: Dr M Morris, Dr A Capel, Dr J King, Prof L Bishop
 18 April 2025  PhD Research Project  Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Biomimetic Sensing and Systems (Ref: FP-JF-2025)

Many biological systems achieve tasks in ways that are radically different to human-designed equivalents. Usually, they are more complicated because they are simultaneously optimised for several different purposes. Read more

Using the metabolome to study aging and geroprotectors in 3D cell models (Ref: UF-AS-2024-2)

Please note that this project is not University-funded. You will need to secure external funding to cover your tuition and living expenses. Read more
 Supervisor: Prof A Stolzing

Computational modelling and dosimetry for spatially fractionated radiotherapy (Ref: PH/SP - SF2/2025)

In the UK, over 275,000 people are diagnosed with cancer annually, with half undergoing radiotherapy as part of their treatment. Radiotherapy aims to destroy cancer cells while sparing healthy tissues. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr J Spiga
 1 July 2025  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only
More details

Novel Fluorinated Heterocycle Synthesis for Medicinal Chemistry (Ref: CM/GW-SF1/2025)

The project will involve synthetic chemistry to prepare novel heterocyclic compounds from polyfluorinated arene building blocks. Tandem SNAr reactions will be employed to anulate new rings. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr G Weaver, Dr M Kimber
 1 October 2025  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only
More details

Synthesis and biological potential of benzofuran natural products (Ref: CM/MK-SF2/2025)

Morus, a genus of flowering plant in the family Moraceae (mulberry) is a source of complex benzofuran natural products (moracins) with unique structures. Read more

Mathematical modelling of mature bacterial biofilms (Ref: MA/JW-SF1/2025)

Bacterial biofilms are colonies of bacteria that live anywhere on solid surfaces in moist or fluid environments. There are many beneficial and detrimental aspects of biofilms in medical and industrial settings. Read more

Biomimetic Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of the Bisorbicillinoids and Related Products (Ref: CM/BB-SF2/2025)

In this proposal we aim to discover a new way of making complex molecules from simple aromatic starting materials. These complex molecules, known as bisorbicillinoids have previously been found to be extremely challenging to prepare by several research groups. Read more
