Extracellular vesicles and the microbiome: from top to bottom
The human body is host to trillions of microorganisms collectively referred to as the microbiome. A healthy microbiome is thought to be essential for human health, as disruption to the balance of the microbiome is associated with a wide range of diseases, and there are also changes associated with age.

Building orthogonal ribosome control for engineering biology
Background. Genetic control challenges in both fundamental biology and biotechnology are effectively tackled by building functionally separated (orthogonal) systems within one cell. Read more

Investigating how cell size and mRNA dilution impacts the nascent proteome.
Research Group:
Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Cell size is a fundamental, but poorly understood, cellular parameter. Cell size sets the scales for organelle structures, surface transport and, most crucially, biosynthetic rates. Read more
Ecological and evolutionary strain-level dynamics of key pathogens in the cystic fibrosis lung microbiome.
People with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) harbour chronic lung infections caused by a variety of bacterial pathogens. In the CF airway, mucus accumulates in the lungs potentiating the development of a taxonomically diverse lung microbiome. Read more
Investigating the Generation, Consumption and Migration of Natural Hydrogen
Hydrogen is an essential component of the energy transition replacing fossil fuels as a carbon-free alternative. Hydrogen can be sourced in many ways, all of which produce different by-products. Read more
MSc by Research: Functional mechanisms and inhibition of biomedically important calcium channels
Ion channels are key components in every cell, bridging cell and organellar membranes for the traversal of charged species. Calcium channels are of particular physiological importance because of the central role calcium plays in cell signalling and cell death. Read more
MSc by Research: Optimizing plant cell wall glycan extraction to support plant health and biotechnology research
Plant cell wall glycans are a major component of plant biomass, essential for plant physiology, development, and protection against environmental stress and disease. Read more
MSc by Research: Conserved function of gut microbiome in mouse, fruit fly and Caenorhabditis elegans
Gut microbiome is the community of microbes living together in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal. They provide specific functions to the animal host such as digestion of cellulose and protection from invading pathogens. Read more
Building a Digital Twin of the Tees estuary to evaluate the resilience of nature-based solutions for nutrient (N & P) capture
Award Summary. PhD in Water Infrastructure & Resilience (WIRe) CDT tax-free annual living allowance of £24,000 (increased by £300 in years 2, 3 and 4 each) + research training support grant + UKRI fees paid. . Read more
Advancing Women's Health Research with Next-Generation Microfluidic Technologies to Identify Ovarian Cancer Disease Signatures
PhD Project Brief. Advancing Ovarian Cancer Diagnostics with Microfluidic Technologies. Overview. Ovarian cancer causes 150,000–200,000 deaths annually, primarily due to delayed diagnosis from subtle early symptoms. Read more
