Biological Sciences (medicinal) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 36 Biological Sciences (medicinal) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Evolutionary Perspectives on Medicinal Plant Use

Project Overview. This project uses phylogenetic comparative methods to characterise medicinal plant use. You will use published data to identify the ethnobotanical uses of selected species, and the extent to which they are characterised in terms of phytochemistry and pharmacology. Read more

Broadening the spectrum of antibacterial drugs to tackle multi-drug resistant Gram-negative pathogens

  Research Group: Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology
Antibiotics make possible the treatment and cure of life-threatening bacterial infections and have added over a decade to average human lifespan. Read more

Structural-guided PROTAC targeting of BMX to modulate apoptotic sensitivity in disease

What determines at the molecular level whether a cell lives or dies? Regulation of the cellular life–death switch is essential in healthy cells for normal foetal development and for the clearance of damaged cells. Read more

How to regulate plasticity in the brain

The Kwok Lab at the School of Biomedical Science invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2024/25. Read more

Targeting the MAPK scaffold protein KSR1 for the treatment of prostate cancer

  Research Group: Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of male cancer deaths. It arises when individual cells escape their normal growth control mechanisms and proliferate in an uncontrolled fashion. Read more
