We have 42 Biochemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Reading
Project at Queen's University Belfast: Exploring the North Ronaldsay Sheep Microbiome: Unlocking Enzymes for Sustainable Agriculture and Biotechnology
Microalgae or seaweed-based livestock feed has shown promise in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Read more
Understanding the cardiotoxic effects of anti-cancer therapies; a multidisciplinary approach
There are >18 million new cancer patients worldwide every year, of which >2 million are women with breast cancer. Read more
Bowel cancer caused by bacteria
The gut microbiome has a profound effect on health and disease of humans and colorectal cancer (CRC) is one such disease influenced by microorganisms. Read more
Platelets in health, ageing and disease: new diagnostics and treatments
Platelets are small blood cells that play a vital role in the chronic and acute progression of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), and also have roles in immunity, inflammation, cancer metastasis, Alzheimer's disease and a range of infections, such as dengue, HIV-1, malaria, and COVID-19. Read more
Project at Aberystwyth University: Protein-protein interactions for control of the ruminant parasite the liver fluke
Parasitic worms are responsible for >55% of livestock diseases threatening global food security. Infection from the parasitic liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, has a negative impact on livestock production and welfare. Read more
Project at University of Reading: Designing next-generation plant-dairy hybrid ingredients to support gut health and immunity
Emerging evidence suggests that ‘hybrid’ or blended food matrices have the potential to introduce the next-generation of functional, healthy, and more sustainable food ingredients. Read more
Project at Cranfield University: From hive to home: A holistic approach to honey authentication
Honey is a natural and nutritious food product which is becoming increasingly popular with global consumption projected to increase 5-fold between 2021-2026. Read more

CR2025_47: Nutrient Impacts and Microbiochemical Controls on Carbon Storage in Forest Soils
Temperate forests and woodlands play a vital role in storing carbon, much of which is held in the soil. This natural carbon storage helps to offset the effects of climate change. Read more
Investigating bacteria-bacteriophage diversity to develop phage libraries for treatment of bacterial infections
Project Overview. The World Health Organisation (WHO) predicts antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections will be the leading cause of death globally by 2050. Read more
Investigating Neuropeptide Signalling From Synthesis to Survival
Project Overview. Neuropeptides, comprising of short amino acid chains, are potent bioactive molecules with extensive neuromodulatory functions and are predominantly expressed within the central nervous system. Read more
Staphylococcus aureus colonisation and pathogenicity
Project Overview. . Staphylococcus aureus is a versatile and adaptable pathogen of humans and animals. Of serious medical and economic importance, infections can range from mild skin issues like boils and impetigo to more serious conditions like pneumonia and bloodstream infections. Read more
Investigating the mechanisms of antibacterial action of silver and copper ions and nanoparticles, and the emerging threat of metal-ion resistance
Project Overview. The emergence of bacterial strains with resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics has led to renewed interest in the antimicrobial properties of metals including silver. Read more
Novel strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of snakebites
Snakebite envenomation (SBE), a high priority neglected tropical disease affects several million people worldwide resulting in as many as 150,000 deaths and around 500,000 permanent disabilities every year. Read more
Investigation of the critical roles of platelets at the interface between thrombosis and inflammation in order to develop improved therapeutic strategies for the treatment and/or prevention of cardiovascular/inflammatory diseases
Platelets (small circulating blood cells) are involved in blood clotting to prevent excessive bleeding, however, their inappropriate activation under pathological conditions leads to thrombosis resulting in major cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Read more
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of thrombosis and haemostasis
Project Overview: . The risk of heart attack or stroke is elevated in obesity and in people with metabolic disorders such as diabetes. Read more
