EastBio: Fitting mechanistic models of gene expression to single-cell data.
It is nowadays possible to measure the mRNA numbers at the single cell level genome wide. While a large amount of this data is now readily available, its analysis has lagged behind. Read more
Inheritance of chromatin marks during cell replication in plants
The correct development of multicellular organisms entails the specifications of distinct cell types. Each of these cellular identities must be conserved during later cell divisions. Read more
Electrifying Cells! Exploring the role of bioelectronic stimulation and bioelectric signalling, with a focus on influencing stem cell behaviour
Electrical stimulation of cells and tissues has been observed to help with healing processes, for example in bone regeneration. Within the NHS, some fracture clinics use electrical stimulation as a to promote healing, often when other methods fail. Read more
(Bicentenary) Lived experiences of NHS-delivered acute sickle cell care in England
In November 2021 the All-Party Parliamentary group on Sickle Cell and Thalassemia published the ‘No one’s listening’ report. Read more
How does a mammalian cell physically organise the complex processes of gene expression and regulation?
Accurate gene expression and regulation in mammalian cells is a hugely complex process, essential for cellular and organismal homeostasis. Read more
Integration of localized electrically deciphered epigenetic profiles for enhanced stem cell therapy
One fully funded Frederick E Hopper full-time PhD scholarship is available in the School of Dentistry for a start in October 2025. Read more
Bioelectrical control of epithelial cell behaviour
Bioelectrical behaviours, such as ion transport and action potential firing, are key features of “excitable” neuronal and muscle cells but are less well understood in “non-excitable” epithelial cells. Read more
Deciphering the role of biomechanical cues in embryonic cell fate decisions using human pluripotent stem cells
The structures that make up the human body trunk, such as the spinal cord and the vertebral column are produced during embryonic development by populations of stem cell-like progenitors (known as neuromesodermal progenitors or NMPs), which are located at the posterior of the embryo. Read more
Smart Switchable Sensors for On-demand Biosensing and Cell Therapy Monitoring
Cell and gene therapies are poised to transform medicine by providing personalized and effective treatments for patients with chronic or life-threatening diseases. Read more

Single cell genomics to advance treatments for human adipose tissue dysfunction.
Obesity affects 1 billion people worldwide and is a leading cause of diabetes, heart disease, dementia and cancer1,2. Pathological adipose tissue expansion and remodeling (characterised by inflammation, metabolic dysfunction and fibrosis) is a major driver of the harmful health consequences of obesity3. Read more
The mechanism of the therapeutic potential of stem cell-derived Dendrobium Officinale sprouts (DOS) for gastric mucosa wound healing
Dendrobium Officinale (DO) is a traditional Chinese medicine for repairing gastrointestinal mucosa injuries. Plant stem cell-derived DO sprouts (SDO) exhibits more significant mucosa wound-healing effects than DO. Read more
Smart Switchable Sensors for On-demand Biosensing and Cell Therapy Monitoring
Cell and gene therapies are poised to transform medicine by providing personalized and effective treatments for patients with chronic or life-threatening diseases. Read more
Self-funded MSc R- Understanding tumour-mediated suppression of cytotoxic T cell function by rebuilding suppression in vitro
Summary. Cytotoxic T cells have the capability of killing tumour target cells. However, this ability is commonly suppressed within the tumour microenvironment. Read more
MSc by Research: Investigation of the interplay between the cell cycle and Notch intracellular domain levels in presomitic mesoderm cells in somitogenesis
One of the key processes in embryo development is somitogenesis. This is the formation of segments, known as somites, that go on to develop into bone and skeletal muscle. Read more
Understanding centrosome assembly in healthy and cancerous tissue with imaging
This is an opportunity for a scientist to join the lab of Dr Robert Mahen in the Department of Molecular & Cell Biology at the University of Leicester. Read more
