Machine learning in underwater acoustic communication modems
Machine learning is an approach that is useful when a practical optimisation problem is difficult to describe precisely. This approach has found multiple applications. Read more
Laser-assisted studies of shapes/sizes and decay properties of exotic nuclei at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland) and RIKEN (Tokyo, Japan)
Laser-assisted studies of shapes/sizes and decay properties of exotic nuclei at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland) and RIKEN (Tokyo, Japan). Read more
Evolving Engineering Deigns
The power of natural evolution is all around us in the major branches of life that fill our world, underpinned by a genetic code that describes all creatures from bacteria to bananas to baboons. Read more
Crack-tolerant materials for next-generation photovoltaics
Solar photovoltaics (PVs) now account for close to 4% of global electricity generation, with installed capacity growing almost exponentially. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP i-CASE studentship with STEMCELL UK: New biophysical approaches to expanding human blood stem cells
Blood cell production (haematopoiesis) is a finely tuned process, producing trillions of new blood cells daily. In adults, blood cells are derived from haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) which reside in the bone marrow. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP i-CASE studentship with KWS: Adapting to climate stress: mechanisms of floral-integrators and clock genes with their application to strategic wheat breeding
Growth in cereals is tempered by the difference between day and night temperatures, and seasonal drivers of developmental transitions. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP i-CASE studentship with Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT): Exploring Structures of Membrane-Inserted Helicases for Advancing Nanopore Sequencing Revolution
Join the Nanopore Sequencing Revolution. Ready to dive into ground-breaking DNA sequencing research? Recent advances in DNA sequencing are revolutionizing fields like medicine, healthcare, food supply chains, and environmental safety. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Investigating the impact of PRMT-catalysed methylation on RBP:RNA interactions, mRNP granule formation (LLPS), structural dynamics and gene regulation
Leishmaniasis is the second deadliest parasitic disease with over 1.2M new cases each year across 98 countries. The Walrad and Plevin labs are long… Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Mechanistic dissection of intra-Golgi vesicle targeting
Intracellular vesicle transport is key for establishing compartmental identities, and therefore in defining eukaryotic cells. It is of utmost importance that vesicles reach the correct target membrane, otherwise compartments become inter-mixed and their identities are lost. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: At the interface of injury, age and nutrition: characterising a novel protein regulating neuronal activity, survival and starvation responses
In this project we will identify critical related mechanisms regulating neuronal excitability when neurons are starved, injured or aged. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: LPS and LTA: sticking, binding and anchoring? Using cutting-edge glycobiology to address molecular interactions of bacteria cell-wall biomarker with host cells
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from bacteria is an important activator of immune cells. Their soluble form released from the bacterial cell-wall interact with an array of host molecules found “out, on or in” cells, and are thought to activate defense mechanisms. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: New secreted virulence factors from Phytophthora infestans
Phytophthora infestans, also known as potato late blight, stands as one of the most formidable oomycete pathogens in agriculture, inflicting economic damage surpassing $6 billion every year. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Engineering nickel hyperaccumulation in biomass crop plants
Mining activities have released vast amounts of metals into our environment. Plants offer an exciting potential solution to remediate this pollution, and recover valuable metals. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Understanding the drivers of viral lifestyles in the soil microbiome
The viruses that infect bacteria, known as phages, represent a major component of the soil microbiome. Yet their functional role in regulating bacterial populations and nutrient cycling remains unclear despite our need to understand what constitutes a healthy soil microbiome for food security. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: The structural basis of the convergent evolution of Rubisco biomolecular condensation
Over the last decade the compartmentalization of biological molecules by liquid-liquid phase separation has been shown to be ubiquitous in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Read more
