Biological Sciences (biomedical science) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 189 Biological Sciences (biomedical science) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

The role of selective and novel biomarkers and their correlation with clinical outcome measures, pre and post-surgical treatment of benign and malignant disorders of the prostate

The Maelor Academic Unit of Medical & Surgical Sciences (MAUMSS) is a novel initiative by the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB), and is designed to encourage and support research within the Health Board and to promote academic activity, basic science and clinical research across North Wales (UK) and beyond.

The BCAT1 CXXC Motif and Oncogenesis in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

The BCAT1 gene is implicated in the pathogenesis of many cancer types, including acute myeloid leukaemia (AML)1–4. Recently, our group identified a novel antioxidant role for BCAT1 in AML cells5. Read more

Neuronal control of appetite: investigating the role of the extracellular matrix in controlling neuronal activity in the hypothalamus

  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
Appetite regulation is complex, and its dysregulation has serious implications for health, being observed in multiple conditions e.g., obesity, anorexia, and type 2 diabetes. Read more

Microbiology of Hip Arthroplasty Cements

  Research Group: Centre for Skin Sciences
Replacement hip and knee arthroplasties are common surgeries, with 31,000 hip and 90,000 knee replacements performed in England in 2020-21. Read more

Investigation of the extracellular matrix as a regulator of Parkinson’s progression

  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
Parkinson’s is the 2nd most common neurodegenerative disease, affecting around 1 in 20 people aged over 65. In the UK, the number of affected people is set to rise by 50% over the next 50 years due to ageing populations. Read more

Linking metabolism and metal resistance in pathogenic bacteria (SULLIVANM_U24AMSSCI)

Primary supervisor - Dr Matthew Sullivan. Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is an effective pathogen of humans and animals and is well known as the leading cause of often-fatal infections in newborn infants. Read more

The INDICO-II Study – Effects of Body Composition and Dietary Improvement on Cell Membrane Dynamics and their Relationship with the Aetiology of Type II Diabetes

The InDiCo Study (Inflammation, Diets, body Composition) is a pre-clinical study conducted at the University of Worcester. The InDiCo Study is currently unravelling links between diets that favour a pro-inflammatory environment with biomarkers of cell function and body composition. Read more

Fully funded PhD position in Biopharmaceutical development for pulmonary delivery; Industrial Collaboration

This cross-disciplinary PhD project is between the School of Biomedical Science at UWL and the School of Pharmacy at UCL, and Pharmaceutical company to investigate the feasibility of developing an inhalation form of biotherapeutics for severe chronic inflammatory diseases. Read more

Prognostic Markers in Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer is the ninth most common malignant disease in the world (Ferlay et al., 2015). Following removal of diseased tissue, cancer reoccurs in approximately 40% of patients and in 8% it metastasises into other tissues. Read more

In silico modelling of endocannabinoid evolution

In the brain, the endocannabinoid (eCB) system maintains adequate neurotransmission (Lu and Mackie 2016). Indeed, the eCB system provides a negative feedback mechanism, preventing over-activation of synaptic transmission. Read more

UKRI CDT in AI for Biomedical Innovation

 We will train 60+ doctoral researchers over the next 8 years (2024-2032), who will design, develop, and implement AI approaches in partnership with our external stakeholders. Read more

Development of novel lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for targeted gene delivery to cancer cells

Applications are invited for a self-funded, 3 year full-time PhD project. The PhD will be based in the School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Science and will be supervised by Dr Roja Hadianamrei and Dr Sassan Hafizi. Read more
