Trypanosomes are master of disguise. African trypanosomes cause huge morbidity and economic burden amongst some of the world’s poorest populations. Read more
Parkinson's disease (PD) is primarily known as a movement disorder, but emerging evidence suggests that it might also significantly impact visual processing, specifically 'blindsight' and gist perception (Diederich et al., 2014;Uchiyama st al., 2012). Read more
Ultrafast Laser Spectroscopy of Photochemical Dynamics. Fully funded 3.5 year PhD studentships are available to start in September 2024 in the Orr-Ewing research group and the Oliver research group in the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol. Read more
Axons are the slender, often meter-long processes of neurons which electrically wire the brain. These delicate structures are up to a meter long and need to be maintained for decades. Read more
Our cells constantly sense and transport ions present in their environment. From embryonic development to epilepsy to heart disease to cancer, our cells’ ability to respond to changes in the ionic microenvironment is essential for healthy ageing. Read more
Human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are found in adult tissues such as bone marrow and are able to differentiate into bone, cartilage and fat tissues. Read more
There is emerging evidence that apparently distinct neurodegenerative diseases have common genetic origins. For example, genes such as ARMS2 and HTRA1, which are fundamental to regulating neuronal health, are implicated in both dementia and diseases of the retina (particularly age-related macular degeneration). Read more
The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) is now transforming the landscape of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and multimodal applications as we speak. Read more
Breast cancer is a complex disease with multifaceted aetiology, and understanding the processes that regulate disease development and progression is crucial for improving diagnostics and treatment strategies. Read more
Pseudaminic acid (Pse) is a rare non-mammalian sialic acid-like sugar present on the surface of a number of bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter… Read more
We develop probabilistic machine learning methods for helping other agents make better decisions, ultimately human agents in ongoing applications in science and engineering. Read more
Due to the longevity of infrastructure investments, it is critical that energy infrastructure be located and designed with future climate in mind. Read more
If you are interested in building mathematical models to explain social phenomena in a variety of contexts, from flocking animals to interacting crowds, and you have a strong academic background in applied mathematics or a related discipline, then this project could be perfect for you. Read more
Starting from the early 1990s, a quiet revolution has been taking place in optics, coming from a growing realization that one can get a huge amount of information about the propagation of a beam of light by understanding the nature and position of the optical singularities in the beam. Read more
Understanding flame-structure-turbulence interactions for hydrogen flames will be crucial to the development of the next generation of low emissions combustion technologies. Read more
Applications are invited for a funded studentship to work on the synthesis and analysis of luminescent InP-based quantum dots using colloidal/air-sensitive inorganic chemistry. Read more
Our diverse research programme includes links with our partners across the Norwich Research Park (Quadram Institute, John Innes Centre, Earlham Institute, The Sainsbury Laboratory), our NHS trust partners (NNUH, QEHKL, JPUH, NSFT, ESNEFT, NCH&C) and the ICB (Norfolk and Waveney, and Suffolk and North East Essex). Read more
This project aims to design new computational algorithms at the interface of statistical modelling, optimization and deep learning to solve multimodal inverse problems for 3D imaging. Read more
This project aims to develop new computational algorithms to optimize the acquisition and processing of single-photon data and enable fast imaging in extreme conditions using statistical and learning based approaches. The project is funded for 3.5 years for international students and a ~£17K annual stipend. Read more
This is an exemplar PhD project co-supervised by Dr. Zafer Kazanci (School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering) and Prof. Karl Malcolm (School or Pharmacy). Read more
The design and advanced manufacturing of patient-specific biomedical implants is set to revolutionise healthcare. However, the costly design framework which is currently required to create personalised 3D digital models is a huge barrier to implementation in most clinical settings. Read more
Supervisory Team. Dr John Lawson. Project description. Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD position on applying computer vision (CV) and machine learning (ML) approaches to experimentally measure and model coalescence in turbulent dispersed multiphase flow. Read more
Developing antibiotic alternatives is crucial for managing animal infections and reducing the pressure on antibiotics vital for human medicine. Read more
The current animal protein production from our global livestock agricultural system may suffice to provide minimum protein requirements to the 9.7 billion people 2050 projected global population [5]. Read more
Public health surveillance programmes routinely collect vast amounts of pathogen genomics data each year. A pressing issue is how to best utilise this information for effective disease monitoring and management. Read more
