(MRC DTP) Nanobioelectronics to Overcome Hypoxia: On-Demand Generation and Enhanced Diffusion of Oxygen for Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive form of brain tumor and only 5% of patients survive more than 5 years. One of the reasons behind this high mortality is the insufficient cellular oxygenation which reduces the effectiveness of chemo and radiotherapy. Read more
(MRC DTP) Enhancing the power of proteomics biomarker discovery by mass spectrometry
Our ability to measure proteins as biomarkers for disease diagnosis, prediction of prognosis or to support personalised medicine is critical to modern medical research. Read more
(MRC DTP) On a hunt for more powerful, disease-specific anticancer therapy: targeting components of the mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum contact sites to prevent cancer initiation and progression
Background. Mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contact sites (MERCs) are subcellular locations where the two organelles are juxtaposed. Read more
(MRC DTP) Design of integrin inhibitors as small molecule modulators of fibrosis
Integrins are a family of protein receptors that play a major role in cell survival, growth and migration. Their function is to transmit signals across the cell membrane by undergoing an elegant large scale structural rearrangement. Read more
(MRC DTP) On a quest to find a cure against Alzheimer’s disease: selective demolition of proinflammatory microRNAs
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by chronic progressive loss of neurons and microglial activation, leading to severe functional impairment. Read more
(MRC DTP) Individual exposure to airborne exposures assessed by using personal monitoring devices
Exposure to air pollutants have been shown to adversely affect birth outcomes and detrimental to children’s health. Read more
(MRC DTP) Development of new antibacterials and antiviral beta-sheet forming peptides-based hydrogels.
One of the key engineering challenges in the life-science and biomedical sectors is the design and manufacturing of bespoke hydrogels for biomedical applications. Read more

Mass and Heat Transfer in Energetic Ocean Surface Waves
This project provides an annual stipend of £19,237. Project advert. This studentship is offered as part of wider Manchester Met investment in our future thought leaders. Read more
Environmentally strategic decommissioning of Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors led by life cycle assessment
This project will apply environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) and economic life cycle costing (LCC) to some of the key problems presented by decommissioning activities. Read more
On-Demand Regulation of the Transcriptional Activity of Redox Induced Transcription Factors in Cancer Using Bioelectronics
Cancer heterogeneity reduces the effectiveness of many cancer therapies. Therefore, the most promising treatments are those that inhibit several signalling pathways crucial for cancer survival. Read more
Protein self assembly induced by multivalent biological metabolites
In addition to being an energy source in biological reactions, recent discoveries suggest adenosine triphosphate (ATP) also plays a critical role in maintaining cell stability and preventing deleterious cellular processes through modulating biomacromolecular self assembly. Read more
Metamaterials for catalysis
A meta-atom is an engineered sub-wavelength structure that, when periodically arranged like an atomic lattice, enable optical, electronic, thermal, and chemical functionalities not seen in conventional designs. Read more
