Metabolomic characterisation of adiposity across the life course

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Project Background. There is evidence that adiposity, measured by body mass index (BMI), causally influences a range of health outcomes, but little understanding of the mechanisms driving BMI effects. Read more

Determining metabolic reprogramming events in stem cells in response to inflammatory disease phenotype

University of Liverpool Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are responsible for the repair of damaged tissue following injury and disease as well as moderating innate and adaptive immune responses and regulation of self-tolerance and tissue homeostasis. Read more

Supervisors: Dr R Oldershaw, Dr A Chadwick, Dr M Phelan, Dr BN Norman

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Where has all of the carbon gone? Understanding the molecular mechanisms of long-term soil carbon capture

The University of Manchester Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences

Soils, while unglamorous, form the basis of the terrestrial biosphere and are ultimately the source of the majority of the food that we eat, yet fundamental aspects of how soils form and how they store carbon are poorly understood. Read more

Supervisors: Prof D Cameron, Dr S Nixon

Regulation of virulence and biofilm formation by quorum sensing and the "stress alarmone" ppGpp in gram-negative pathogenic bacteria.

University of Cambridge Department of Biochemistry

We are investigating the complex interplay between cell-cell signalling (quorum sensing), microbial lifestyle (i.e., free-living planktonic cultures vs sessile biofilm communities), growth phase and virulence in gram-negative bacteria. Read more

Supervisor: Dr M Welch
