Synthesis of high heating doped magnetic nanoparticles and unravelling of their heating effect on cancer biology for effective treatment
Cancer has a major impact on society. Around 392,000 people are diagnosed with cancer each year in the UK (2020-2021) (https://www.macmillan.org.uk/). Read more
Molecular design for energy-efficient and high colour-purity light-emitting devices
About 20% of the world’s electricity production is used for lighting and powering our displays, which account for 6% of the world’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Read more
Why diatoms produce palmitvaccenic acid?
Palmitvaccenic acid (16:1Δ11, PVA) is a fatty acid produced by organisms belonging to three distinct phylogenetic groups. microalgae, insects, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Read more
The sweet side of ‘evil twin’ sugars: using chemical glycobiology tools to explore the role bacterial sialic acids play in host immune evasion by pathogens
Sugars, or glycans as they are more commonly known, are the most abundant biomolecules on earth and play essential roles in a myriad of biological processes including energy storage, cell-cell recognition and the immunological response. Read more
Nature’s chemist: how a plant can produce the complex and diverse Daphniphyllum alkaloids
Nature’s chemist. how a plant can produce the complex and diverse alkaloids. Plants are capable of forming complex natural products from simple starting materials. Read more
Broadening the Catalytic Promiscuity of Amide Bond Synthetases using Directed Evolution and Robotic Screening
The industrial production of pharmaceutical compounds requires that they are synthesised in a very specific way, and that the methods used, where possible, involve non-toxic materials and the least hazardous conditions. Read more
Bioelectrical control of epithelial cell behaviour
Bioelectrical behaviours, such as ion transport and action potential firing, are key features of “excitable” neuronal and muscle cells but are less well understood in “non-excitable” epithelial cells. Read more
MSc by Research: Molecular Glues for ALS: Restoring TDP-43 Localization for drug discovery
Proteins rarely function in isolation; instead, they form biomolecular complexes by interacting with other biomolecules, including DNA, RNA, and proteins. Read more
MSc by Research: Drugging the undruggable targets in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases
Cancer and neurodegenerative diseases are among the most challenging conditions to treat, and as life expectancy increases globally, the burden of these diseases continues to rise. Read more
Synthesis and Investigation of Hydrogen Isotope Adsorption and interactions in Novel Materials for Fusion Fuel Enrichment
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Sustainable Chemical Technologies. A Systems Approach (CSCT) at the University of Bath is offering a fully-funded, 4-year studentship to start in September 2025. Read more
Seeing the light: how the dynamic structure of rhodopsin enables deepwater vision.
The protein rhodopsin is involved in dim light vision and is known to have played a role in allowing mammals and fishes to exploit novel niches and diversify over evolutionary time. Read more
Investigating molecular determinants of cellular fate driven by air pollutants
Air pollution is a critical global issue with severe consequences for the environment, economy, and human health. 99% of the world’s population lives in areas where air pollution exceeds WHO guidelines, leading to accelerated ageing, increased mortality, and decreased health span [1,2,3]. Read more
Integrated computational and biochemical investigation of EGFR-mediated cell signaling
This PhD project is focused on understanding the mechanisms of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling and its role in cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Read more
Chemical surface functionalisation of waste biomass ash for sustainable dematerialisation of cementitious systems (RENU+24/HLS/APP/RAILTON)
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities Plus (ReNU+) is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
Intensified biochemical and hydrothermal biorefinery for lignocellulosic biomass valorisation: A circular economy approach (BioTherm)
Fermentation is a key upstream process in the food, feed, beverage, brewing, biopharmaceutical, and biotech sectors. It is a metabolic process in which microorganisms perform chemical reactions to transform specific carbohydrates into diverse compounds. Read more
