The self-perception of adults with orofacial clefting
Introduction. Orofacial clefting (OFC) is one of the most common congenital anomalies worldwide and the most common of all facial birth defects. Read more
The effect of stress on head and neck cancer patients: laboratory and clinical aspects.
The aim of the lab part of this project is to further investigate. Read more
Smile4life National Oral Health Improvement Programme: Inclusive Evaluation to Assess the Impact of Co-designed Resources for a Community-based Oral Health and homelessness intervention.
Project background. United Nations Habitat estimates that 150 million people are affected by homelessness worldwide. The Covid-19 pandemic further aggravated this scenario of health and social inequalities. Read more
PI3K-Akt expression in dysplastic oral lesions and implications for recurrence and malignant transformation
There are around 12,400 new head and neck cancer cases in the UK every year, that's 34 every day (2016-2018) with 4,143 deaths each year. Read more
Is there a role for Fusobacterium nucelatum, candida or HV16 in oral disease progression?
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for over 90% of all oral cancers and is generally considered the 8th most common cancer worldwide [1]. Read more
Is there a Role for Activated Akt in Palatogenesis?
Main Aim. The project will use a medial edge epithelial (MEE) cell line as an in vitro model. These cells will be used to investigate the effects of exogenous TGFβ-3 and activation of Akt on cell migration, epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and apoptosis. Read more
Choosing Wisely in Dentistry: Sustainable Oral Health
In recent years there has been increased interest in sustainability in healthcare, and specifically in dentistry. Sustainability is described as encompassing three pillars. Read more
Development and characterisation of multifunctional surfaces for durable infection prevention treatments on dental prosthetic device
Applications are invited for a self-funded, 3 year full-time or 6 year part-time PhD project. The PhD will be based in the School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences and will be supervised by Dr Marta Roldo, Professor Gordon Blunn and Dr Mahdi Mutahar. Read more
Investigating the links between β-amyloid, osteoporosis and frailty in Alzheimer’s disease
Background. Individuals with Alzheimer’s disease are more likely to suffer from osteoporosis (the loss of bone mass and strength) than age-matched individuals1, significantly contributing to the frailty associated with dementia. Read more
Feeding microbes to protect the brain: does the gut microbiota mediate the risk-reducing effects of a healthy diet on Alzheimer’s disease?
Background. Ways of reducing the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias are critically needed, given the almost total lack of truly effective therapeutic options, even despite newer anti-amyloid drugs1. Read more
Molecular mechanism of vimentin induced epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stemness in cancer cells
Background. Most cancers are epithelial in origin and arise from a single progenitor cell, similar to an embryo, to become a clone of cells. Read more
Possible role of mutant vimentin in cancer progression and metastasis
Background. This project will investigate the role of the cytoskeletal protein vimentin in cancer progression and metastasis using cell and molecular biology approaches. Read more
Transcriptome homeostasis in cellular ageing and cancer
Project Summary. We have previously established the oncogenic mechanisms of the transcription factor FOXM1 in perturbation of genome stability (1, 2), epigenome (3, 4) and adult progenitor epithelial stem cell proliferation (5). Read more
Transcriptome biomarkers and mechanisms of chemoresistance
Project Summary. This project aims to identify biomarkers linked to the most potent multimodal anticancer therapy with the least toxicity to counteract hemoresistance in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Read more
The functions of the YAP/TAZ oncoproteins in cell cycle control and tumour progression.
Background. Squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) - cancers arising from multi-layered epithelia such as the skin epidermis or the oral mucosa - are the most diagnosed cancers in the UK and world-wide. Read more
