Assessing the evolutionary safety of mutagenic antiviral drugs in the context of recombination
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted critical gaps in our antiviral arsenal, with many families of viruses lacking targeted inhibitors. Read more
Making the most of the annual physical health check for people with mental illnesses
About the Project. Primary Supervisor: Natalie Shoham. Co-Supervisor(s). Dr Georgina Hosang, Dr Sheraz Ahmad, Professor Jianhua Wu. Read more
Experiences of postpartum survivors of Intimate Partner Violence with serious mental health illness
About the Project. Background to the project. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a continuum of abuse experienced between romantic partners, including homicide, physical and sexual assault as well as psychological abuse (e.g., threats, harassment, coercion and intimidation). Read more
New frontiers in zoonotic disease modelling and policy guidance: bridging the gap between epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics
The proposed multidisciplinary project focuses on pioneering a novel approach to model the transmission of infectious (zoonotic) diseases. Read more
Multi-modular patient-derived lung organoids to aid precision medicine
Aim. To validate that patient-derived lung organoids can stratify patient-specific response to therapy. Background. In the UK, 8 million people suffer from asthma. Read more
Investigating bacteriophage therapy to treat pleural infection
Background. A pleural infection (known as empyema) occurs when bacteria enter the space between the lungs and chest wall. They have serious outcomes with a 10% 30-day mortality rate. Read more
Assessment of Flame Retardant Exposure Pathways in Households in the UK
Flame retardants (FRs) are a diverse group of chemicals widely used since the 1970s in consumer products like furniture, textiles, electronics, and building materials to reduce flammability. Read more
Human health impact of exposure to environmental chemicals
Exposure to a mixture of chemicals is a factor of modern life. Chemicals can be in the air we breathe, in consumer products we use, the foods we eat and the general environments in which we live, work and reside. Read more
PhD studentship in Prostate Cancer - Refining human prostate tissue culture techniques for better in vivo mimicry and therapeutic insights
Award Summary. 100% of home tuition fees paid and an annual stipend (living expenses) starting at £19,237 (24/25 rate). International candidates are required to fund the difference between home fees and international fees. . Read more
(BBSRC NWD) mRNA epigenetics: Characterization of novel layer of gene regulation for essential brain functions
For over 40 years we know about modified nucleotides in mRNA, but the emerging field of epitranscriptomics is still in its infancy in developing methods for accurate global detection of mRNA modifications. Read more
Molecular profiling of altered cell states in renal ciliopathies
Research Group:
MRC Human Genetics Unit
This project is part of Cilia-AI (European Training Programme for Deconvolution of Multi-scale Cilia Function in Health and Disease by Integrating Machine Learning-AI Approaches. Read more
Identify new suppressors of disease-causing proteasome mutations
The proteasome degrades most cellular proteins in a controlled and timely manner and thereby controls many key processes. Proteasomes are also essential for maintaining intracellular protein quality control by removing misfolded, damaged, or aggregation-prone proteins. Read more
Molecular Mechanisms of Cancer Progression
The Wells Invasion and Metastasis Research Group is interested in how cancer cells are able to dissociate from the primary tumour, invade the surrounding tissue and subsequently metastasise to distal sites. Read more
A bifunctional prodrug to overcome acquired oxaliplatin drug resistance in colorectal cancer
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
This is one of two new fully funded PhD studentships in the Institute of Cancer Therapeutics Doctoral Training Centre (ICT-DTC) at the University of Bradford. Read more
Characterising host-pathogen impact of light mediated approaches for treating microbial keratitis
Research Group:
Centre for Inflammation Research
Background. Microbial keratitis (MK) is a significant cause of vision loss worldwide. Current treatment regimens rely on the application of frequent antibiotics or antifungals (up to hourly). Read more
