PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Woking
We have 17 PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Woking
Hepatitis E virus in pigs
The main objective of the project is to study the infection cycle of HEV in pigs with a focus on the interaction of HEV replication and the composition of the microbiome and the effect of both on the pig liver. Read more
Understanding the Host-Pathogen interaction of PRRS Virus
The main objective of the projects is to study the host-pathogen interaction of PRRSV-1 with the host immune system in pigs. While PRRSV-1 can be resolved by the host before the appearance of neutralising antibodies in blood, a role for the adaptive immune system is envisaged. Read more
Novel Electrochemical and Sonochemical C-H Activation Methods for Heterocycle Synthesis
Saturated oxygen and nitrogen containing heterocycles are widespread across natural products and pharmaceutically active ingredients. Our research… Read more
Medicinal Chemistry PhD Project: Synthesis and biological evaluation of small molecules to target mesothelioma and related ASS1-dependent tumours
Arginine (Arg) is an amino acid critically involved in numerous biological functions including cell proliferation, cell signaling, muscle contraction, immunity… Read more
Discovering the determinants of host tropism of an emerging livestock pathogen
An evolutionary arms race for supremacy exists between viruses and their hosts’ immune systems. Viruses rely on cellular resources and machinery for their replication, and cells defend themselves from viruses by recognising and blocking infections. Read more
Investigation of Novel Accessory Proteins in the Replication of Infectious Bronchitis Virus
Coronaviruses encode several accessory proteins that have been proposed to counteract antiviral host responses in vivo. Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) is a Gammacoronavirus causing Infectious Bronchitis, an acute highly contagious economically important disease of chickens. Read more
Degradable Polymer Coatings for Sustainable Packaging
Plastic packaging persists in the environment and is difficult to recycle. There is a growing demand for alternative materials to use as containers for liquids. Read more
Modelling and Monitoring Greenhouse Gas Emissions with Robots
Precise and representative quantification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is essential for evaluating the effectiveness of mitigation strategies aimed at achieving net-zero targets. Read more
Antigenic Evolution of Neuraminidase in H5Nx Clade 2.3.4.4b Avian Influenza Viruses and its Impact on Viral Fitness in Avian and Mammalian Species
This studentship is open to science graduates with, or who anticipate obtaining, at least a 2:1 or equivalent in a relevant biological subject in an undergraduate degree, or with a Masters degree - subject to university regulations. Read more
PhD studentship in single cell mass spectrometry: using accelerators and water cluster ion beams to fight cancer and infectious diseases
The aim of this exciting PhD project is to develop new mass spectrometry methodologies to image biomarkers within cells and tissues. Read more
Probing the Function of RNA Structural Elements in the FMDV Genome using Biophysical and Genetic Approaches
Foot-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious disease of cattle, sheep and pigs that causes huge economic loss in some of the poorest countries in the world and threatening food security. Read more
Investigation into the Impact of Material Properties on the Gas Transport Behaviour of Polyolefin Materials
The sustainable use of polymeric materials is underpinned by ensuring long service life in all industries and applications. Understanding durability requires research into the effects of both manufacturing methods and environmental storage conditions on the material properties and performance over time. Read more
Advanced materials for CO2 conversion to methanol
Meeting the net-zero commitment on greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 means significantly cutting back on emissions by 2035. However, currently, ~80% of our energy supply is dependent on fossil fuels which by default means additional emissions. Read more
PhD Studentship: Deep Learning for Automated Building Damage Assessment
Although humans cannot prevent natural disasters in most cases, timely responses can play a critical role in disaster relief and lifesaving. Read more
