Bioinspired Nanomaterials Based Miniaturised Soft Robots for High Precision Regiospecific Drug Delivery to Malignant Tumours
Cancer is one of the top global public health challenges, estimated to have caused 10M deaths (2020) according to WHO. Throughout the years, standardised therapeutic protocols have been developed and evolved for the treatment of various types of cancers. Read more
(MB-PhD) MYST Histone Acetyltransferases as Therapeutic Targets in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Cytotoxic chemotherapy has been the standard of care for treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) for the last 50 years. Unfortunately, more often than not, it fails to cure patients, and the 5 years survival rate for all-comers with AML is only around 20%. Read more
Integrating Electrical Fields with Smart Nanoparticles and Biomimetic Hydrogels for Targeted Glioblastoma Therapy
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive and lethal primary brain tumour in adults, with a high recurrence rate and limited treatment options. Read more
(MB-PhD) Gene regulatory networks driving metastatic progression in oesophageal adenocarcinoma
Oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) incidence is increasing and yet survival rates remain very poor. There are limited treatment options, especially for metastatic disease, which is especially problematic as patients usually present with late stage disease. Read more
Understanding how to target the T cell compartment within related brain tumours
T cell-based immunotherapy has revolutionised the treatment of many different types of cancer. However, to date, these treatments have not been successful or widely used for the treatment of brain tumours. Read more
Employing Spiking Neural Networks to Unravel Spatio-temporal Dynamics of Gene Regulatory Networks using Spatial Transcriptomics Data
AI_CDT_DecisionMaking. Details. Spatial Transcriptomics (ST) is a technique that enables researchers to measure gene expression profiles while preserving the spatial locations, deepening our understanding of tissue organisation, function and cellular interactions. Read more
Advancing Women's Health Research with Next-Generation Microfluidic Technologies to Identify Ovarian Cancer Disease Signatures
PhD Project Brief. Advancing Ovarian Cancer Diagnostics with Microfluidic Technologies. Overview. Ovarian cancer causes 150,000–200,000 deaths annually, primarily due to delayed diagnosis from subtle early symptoms. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Cells on a leash: using bio-electrochemistry to pull on a [2]rotaxane thread
Communication across cell membranes is a crucial function that allows cells to respond to chemical messages in their external environment. Read more
Identifying critical pathways regulating autoimmunity in immuno-oncology and arthritis patients
Background. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) such as BLOCKING antibodies targeting CTLA4 (e.g. ipilimumab) have revolutionised the treatment of metastatic cancers by offering long-term remission, by boosting the immune response. Read more
Cell-matrix interface engineering for regenerative medicine applications and disease modelling
Dr. Mahetab Amer is seeking motivated students with backgrounds in tissue engineering, cell biology, materials science, or related fields to join her dynamic, multidisciplinary research group at the Division of Cell Matrix Biology and Regenerative Medicine, University of Manchester. Read more
Identification of transcriptomic signatures of autism-like neurodevelopmental disorder
The overarching aim of this project is to define transcriptional patterns and identify new genetic elements essential for the correct development of the human brain. Read more
