Late-Stage Oxygenation of Medicinally Important Bridged Bicyclic Hydrocarbons using Unspecific Peroxygenases (UPOs) (CSHP CDT)
We will establish methods for the synthesis of novel, medicinally important bridged bicyclic hydrocarbon (BBH) scaffolds using late-stage oxygenation enabled by unspecific peroxygenase (UPO) enzymes. Read more
Metal-free catalysis to make and break C-F bonds (CSHP CDT)
Fluorine-containing molecules are essential in a wide range of applications, including in many pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Read more
Stable Organometallic Gels for sp3-sp2 and sp2-sp2 Negishi Cross-Coupling (CSHP CDT)
Air- and moisture-sensitive organometallic reagents are a key tool in modern synthetic chemistry and enable a wide range of powerful synthetic transformations. Read more
An exploration of “greener” alternatives for oligonucleotide synthesis (CSHP CDT)
The solid phase synthesis of oligonucleotides, historically conducted on controlled pore glass, but more recently on polystyrene, typically proceeds in a 3′ to 5′ direction by a four-step synthesis cycle with each step followed by a solvent wash. Read more
Functional Sugar-derived Polymers for Sustainable Agricultural Applications (CSHP CDT)
Beyond plastics, polymers play a vital role in our lives as key ingredients of liquid formulations. They are found in millions of everyday products, from the shampoo in our bathrooms to the paint on our walls. Read more
Green Polymers from Sugars towards Polyethylene-Like Materials (CSHP CDT)
Polymers are widespread in modern society as they produce light, strong, and cheap plastic materials, with an ever-increasing demand, which are critical to many technologies from consumer goods, electronics to healthcare. Read more
Systematic Exploration of 3D Pharmaceutical Space using 3D Bifunctional Building Blocks (CSHP CDT)
There is much interest in 3D heterocyclic scaffolds for medicinal chemistry. Within fragment-based drug discovery, we are developing a synthetic platform to enable the elaboration of 2D fragments into 3D lead compounds, addressing limitations highlighted by industry. Read more
Large Language Models in Intelligent Robotic Systems for Environment Clean Up
Large Language Models in Intelligent Robotic Systems for Environment Clean Up. If you are interested in robotics and have strong programming and software engineering skills, this could be a project for you. Read more
Forgetting unwanted memories in sleep
This project will examine the role of sleep in forgetting. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is characterised by uncontrollable and distressing memories about prior events. Read more
sp3–sp2 Suzuki-Miyaura Cross Coupling of Heterocyclic Organoborons: Exploring 3D Pharmaceutical Space (CSHP CDT)
There is significant interest in sp3-rich heterocyclic scaffolds for medicinal chemistry and there is thus a need for methods to construct sp3-sp2 bonds on such scaffolds in a simple, controllable, programmable and sustainable way. Read more
Adaptive Multi-Access Interoperable Communication Fabric for TinyEdge
It is an EPSRC DTP funded project, supervised by Dr Poonam Yadav. The funded opportunity is open to applicants paying UK (Home) fees wishing to study on a full-time, on campus basis only. Read more
Source-specific quantification of ammonia emissions
Background. Ammonia (NH3) has an ever-growing influence on air pollution in the UK and worldwide with numerous considerable impacts such as the formation of secondary particles and nitrogen deposition. Read more
Ammonia futures – the changing face of atmospheric nitrogen emissions
Introduction. Air pollution is the greatest environmental threat to human health, and impacts biodiversity, and ecosystem services. Read more
Improving the wellbeing of parents of children with cancer through an online psychosocial support intervention
Dealing with a cancer as a child or young person, or a family member affected by that diagnosis, is psychologically distressing. Read more
