Aston University is launching a pioneering, fully-funded doctoral scholarship scheme designed to equip researchers with the skills that are crucial for success in the digital age and to meet the demands of the new industrial revolution powered by technology. Read more
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 the Disruption of Invading Breast Cancer Cells to the Regenerative Capacity of Bone Cells in a Tissue Engineered Tumour Microenvironment
Metastasis in breast cancer reduces five-year survival rates in the UK from 99% to 15%[1]. One of the most common sites for tumour metastasis is bone, affecting approximately 70% of patients with over 24,000 in the UK alone[1]. Read more
Engineering pyrenoid-based CO2-concentrating mechanism into plant chloroplasts
Photosynthesis is one of the key targets for engineering biologists to enhance the yield potential of globally important crops. Several studies have demonstrated that plant biomass can be increased by improving the efficiency of the key CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco. Read more
Metagenomics and Modelling of Synthetic and Bioaugmented Microbial Communities for Bioremediation and Animal Health
Microorganisms and their communities are fundamental to natural environmental processes, human and animal health, and tackling the challenges of industrial contamination, waste treatment and sustainable energy generation. Read more
Investigating the Interplay Between Epigenetic Modifications and Gene Editing in Algae
Epigenetic modifications play a crucial role in regulating gene expression in all organisms, including algae. They can also influence gene editing by modulating CRISPR/Cas targeting and activity, as well as subsequent DNA repair processes (1). Read more
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
Open Research from Electronic Lab Notebooks: does AI help biologists to record their science?
Researchers are moving away from paper notes, to record their daily work in electronic lab notebooks, either online or in institutional systems (ref. 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) Dynamic cell decisions: Microfluidic approaches to understand how oscillations in transcription factors regulate nervous system development
During nervous system development, neural stem cells must balance decisions between proliferation to allow growth, and differentiation, to generate functional neurons. Read more
(Bicentenary) Tracking horizontal gene transfer and the spread of antimicrobial resistance in pathogenic fungi
Background. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to human health, with a global rise in untreatable bacterial infections. Read more
(Bicentenary) How Fungi Thrive in Changing Climates: Building Healthier Soils
This PhD project focuses on how Aspergillus species, which are fungi that can cause serious human diseases, survive and adapt in different soil environments. 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) Impact of hybridisation of environmentally diverse yeast species on mutation rate and antifungal drug response
Evolutionary mechanisms such as hybridisation and mutation determine responses to environmental change. Understanding how genetics affects these processes is critical to addressing fundamental questions of biological adaptation. Read more
