Dissecting how the interplay between RNA structure and non-canonical translation help Dengue virus escape from innate immunity (Ref FHMS - DTP - 02 BIO)
Our aim is to understand a new mechanism evolved by mosquito-borne viruses coupling protein synthesis and escape from host immunity. Read more
Competing contagions: social transmission and pathogen spread in diverse animal societies
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
There is a huge diversity of social systems in nature caused by intra- and inter-specific variation in the costs and benefits of interacting with conspecifics. Read more
Control of Parathyroid Hormone Secretion
The regulation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion is of fundamental importance for calcium homeostasis and in mineral conditions affecting bone and the kidneys. Read more
Investigating the link between amyloid-β oligomers, neuroinflammation and cognitive deficits in preclinical models for Alzheimer’s Disease
Currently four out of the five pharmacological treatments used for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors aimed at boosting the amount of acetylcholine in the brain, with the fifth being an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. Read more
Identifying novel therapeutic targets in CMML
Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML) is a clonal stem cell neoplasm defined by abnormal monocytosis and dysplasia. A quarter of CMML patients progress to acute myeloid leukaemia and these patients have dismal prognosis. Read more
Testing the efficacy and mechanisms of the 'gravitostat' as a tool to support long-term weight loss in people with obesity SSEHS/JAK/2
Obesity is disease that adversely affects the physical and mental health of many people in low- and high-income nations. Whilst progress has been made regarding lifestyle approaches supporting weight loss, weight regain remains a key clinical challenge. Read more

Physiological signatures of task failure during high-intensity exercise SSEHS/MB
This project will investigate the causes of task failure during a range of exercise tasks, including cycle ergometry, isometric and isokinetic dynamometry, and running. Read more
Prenatal influences on brain health and function
Most animals, including ourselves, use different senses to interact with the world around us. We integrate information from vision, smell, and other sensory modalities to gather information about the quality of our environment and guide our behaviour. Read more
Human identification through a combined Genomics-Mass Spectrometry Microbial Forensic approach
The Industry and Innovation Research Institute (I2Ri) draws on talents, expertise and facilities across Sheffield Hallam University. Read more
Research Associate, Full time fixed term for 36 months
We are inviting a motivated doctoral candidate to participate in the exciting project titled “Linking plastic particle characteristics to their uptake and transformation by groundwater animals”. Read more
Computational modelling of melting plastic particle flows: fundamental physics, reactor design and topology optimisations
Industrial Partner. Aquapak. Industrial Supervisor. Cloudia Mejie, Aquapak. Duration of the PhD. 4 years. Project Description. Read more
Topological Data Analysis for Predictive Spatial Signatures of Cancer Progression and Treatment Response
Industrial Partner. AstraZeneca. Industrial Supervisor. Arthur Lewis. Duration of the PhD. 4 years. Project Description. Cancer remains a major killer, still rarely curable in advanced stages. Read more
Unravelling pathogenic processes at cellular levels in Head & Neck and Thoracic Cancer (Ref. UOS-ASTAR-2023-3)
With key technological advances in multi ‘omic analysis, the development of cell and spatial transcriptomic analysis have shown their ability to greatly improve the understanding of human diseases. Read more
Novel AI methods for identifying cellular communities in spatial transcriptomics data of cancer tissues (Ref: UOS-ASTAR-2023-2)
In this PhD project you will join an international team of scientists to develop novel computational approaches for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response. Read more
Understanding B cell development in immunity: age-related changes (Ref. UOS-ASTAR-2023-1)
A healthy immune system has a good balance between making effective immune responses and avoiding autoimmune disease. Unfortunately, this balance is dysregulated with age. Older people are more prone to adverse consequences of infectious disease and cancer incidence increases with age. Read more
