Where we live & mental ill-health: utilising linked administrative data to explore the impact of environment on mental ill-health
Research Group:
Centre for Public Health
Mental ill-health is a major public health concern and the environment in which we live can affect this. There is a need to understand which factors about our environment have the greatest influence in order to inform pro-mental health policy and infrastructure. Read more

Investigation of the role of the Formyl Peptide Receptor 2 in diabetic retinopathy
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in diabetic patients. One important factor contributing to this condition is the transcriptional and biosynthetic changes occurring in the retina Müller glial cells (MGCs) exposed to higher concentrations of glucose.

To investigate the role of histamine in the regulation of neutrophil phagocytosis
Neutrophils produce histamine and express two histamine receptors (H2R and H4R). Production of histamine by neutrophils is intriguing and may imply auto-regulation of neutrophil functions. Read more
Three-dimensional structural mapping of the retinal neurovascular unit and the influence of diabetes
The aim of this PhD project is to better understand why people with diabetes are at risk of losing their vision. Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in developed countries. Read more
Using computational biology and transcriptional data to identify signaling that contributes to cancer progression
Research Group:
The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research
Our group is looking to recruit a PhD candidate, with experience of working with molecular datasets, with an interest in performing translational bioinformatics analyses to understand the nuanced and complex interactions between cancer cells and their microenvironment for major emerging clinical tumour subtypes. .

Using epigenetic modifiers in combination with 5-FU based chemotherapy to elicit tumour specific immune responses and immunogenic cell death in colorectal cancer.
HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) are an emergent class of epigenetic modifying agent (EMA), with multi-modal mechanisms-of-action in both tumour and tumour microenvironment (TME). This project aims to understand how these drugs modulate efficacy of 5-FU-based chemotherapy to counteract transcriptional plasticity and immune evasion that underpins emergence of treatment resistance.

Targeting the ‘Worst of the Worst’ – developing novel treatments for Poor Outcome Triple Negative Breast Cancers.
We will investigate biology driving the aggressive features of Poor Outcome Triple Negative Breast Cancers (PO-TNBCs). PO-TNBCs possess the worst outcomes amongst all breast cancers, with high rates of metastases and chemoresistance. Read more
