Biological pathways supporting the formation and function of chromatin (Scholarship)
Every cell in our body contains the same DNA yet each cell expresses a different set of genes. These changes in gene expression are heavily influenced by histone proteins, their role in packaging DNA into chromatin and the “epigenetic” information they carry. Read more
Digitally-led Discovery of Solid Electrolyte Materials for Net Zero Applications
The discovery of new functional materials is essential to enable the transition to net zero. Read more
Determining the role of mitochondrial DNA variation in hepatic pathways and its impact on physiology, pharmacology and toxicology: a combined in vitro and bioinformatic approach.
Project Background and Aims. It is widely known that differences in the nuclear genome contribute to aspects of us as individuals, from hair colour to lifespan. Read more
Determination of the non-coding RNAs in the knee joint tissues of dogs at differing risk to cranial cruciate ligament rupture.
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
Background. The cranial cruciate ligment (CCL) is the most frequently damaged ligament of the canine knee joint following injuries and age-related ligament breakdown, leading to the development of osteoarthritis (OA). Read more
Development and validation of the Epilepsy-Heart syndrome: a focus on ictal asystole and developing evidence-based national consensus guidelines
An exciting new opportunity has arisen for a PhD student interested in cardiovascular science, neuroscience (or cardiology and neurology) and health data science to help us develop and validate a condition we believe exists. Read more
The Role of the Endosomal System in Alzheimer’s Disease.
Summary of the project. Neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, are a global public health priority, affecting millions of people worldwide. Read more
Digital Discovery of Polymeric Materials
Computer aided design is used only rarely for polymeric materials, despite their importance across all technology sectors. Read more
BBSRC NWD: Genomic fingerprinting of Anaplasma phagocytophilum to define transmission dynamics and markers of pathogenicity
Background: Tick-borne disease threats are rising worldwide due to multiple environmental change drivers, with severe impacts on animal health and food production. Read more
Combining genome-scale metabolic models and multi-omics data for a system level understanding of bacteria
Understanding microbial metabolism is essential for the exploitation of bacteria in a number of different biotechnological applications, the members of the Streptomyces genus being a particularly biotechnologically interesting example (Del Carratore et al., 2022). Read more
High-throughput First-principle Simulations of Charge Transport in Organic Semiconductors
The project focuses on first-principle methods such as Quantum Monte-Carlo and numerical diagonalisation for accurate simulations of quantum dynamics in molecular organic semiconductors. Read more
