Developing mass spectrometry tools to combat challenges in structural biology
Technology advancement is critical to understand more about how biology works. From climate change to therapeutic interventions, structural mass spectrometry is making major breakthroughs. Read more
Investigating how accessory proteins modify the function of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) involved in appetite regulation
Project Outline. This PhD project will explore how accessory proteins modify the signalling of GPCRs involved in appetite regulation, using state-of-the-art signalling assays and cutting-edge microscopy techniques. Read more
Investigating how chromatin guides de novo DNA methylation
DNA methylation is the most common epigenetic mark found in mammals and is associated with gene repression. It is catalysed by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and dysregulation can cause developmental diseases and cancers. Read more
Mathematical models of RNA and protein dynamics and their integration with gene expression data
A gene regulatory network involves a set of genes interacting with each other to control cellular functions. For example, in autoregulation, a protein expressed from a gene activates or suppresses its own transcription, thereby regulating the number of proteins through negative or positive feedback [1].

Real-Time Control and Analysis of Molecular Dynamics Using High-Speed AFM Height Spectroscopy Mapping
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Molecules exhibit dynamic behaviours that occur over a wide range of time and length scales, often requiring atomic-level spatial resolution and microsecond temporal resolution for accurate characterization. Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Understanding how damaged DNA is excised and repaired to maintain genome integrity and prevent cancer.
Background. DNA is constantly damaged and must be repaired to prevent genome instability and cancer. Conversely chemotherapy typically induces DNA damage to cause cancer cell death. Read more
Solar at the Nanoscale: High-resolution Mapping of Light-Harvesting Proteins with High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Understanding photosynthesis could provide valuable clues for developing future solar technology and engineering improved food crops. Read more
Bifurcation and pattern formation on the surface of biological cells
Biological cells dynamically create, maintain, and disassemble cell surface structures that determine their shape and behaviour, such as directed migration. Read more
Novel Stabilisation and Delivery Materials for RNA-based Therapies
After nearly five decades of research and innovation, the first mRNA-based vaccines burst on to the world stage during the COVID-19 pandemic halting the spread of infections and heralding a new era in vaccine development and biotherapeutics. Read more
(Bicentenary) Utilizing machine learning to decipher the mechanism of protein-DNA binding
The ability to coordinate the expression of genes within a cell is at the heart of life. When and how much of a specific gene is turned into a protein is essential for organisms to respond to their environment and to manage resources. Read more
Abasic pivots as a new modality for the development of oligonucleotide therapeutics
Background. Oligonucleotide (ON) therapeutics is an exciting clinically approved platform for the treatment of a range of diseases not readily accessible by small molecule drugs. Read more
(Bicentenary) Identifying mechanosensitive protein domains in ion channels using machine learning methods
Mechanosensitive ion channels (MSCs) are critical integral membrane proteins that sense and respond to mechanical stimuli such as membrane tension, pressure, and stretch(2,3). Read more
Using CryoEM to trap and visualise PROTAC drugs in action against cancer targets
We invite applicants for a 4-year iCASE studentship to work in collaboration with our industrial partner Sygnature Discovery. Second Supervisor. Read more
(Bicentenary) Illuminating hidden interactions in ubiquitin-like protein networks for genome stability
The posttranslational modification of proteins is key to virtually all cellular activities, including the DNA damage response, a signalling network critical for maintaining genome stability. Read more
(Bicentenary) Modelling the effects of dopaminergic neuromodulation on brain state and function
Dopamine is an essential neurotransmitter that influences various physiological functions such as motor control, as well as adaptive behaviour through salience and novelty processing, which in turn support attention, exploration, and goal-directed behaviour (Cools, 2019; Shohamy & Adcock; 2010).
