Toxicology (cells) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 22 Toxicology (cells) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Biological role of neuropeptides and their receptors

Cell signalling is critical to the co-ordination and functioning of all cells. Cell signalling allows cells to co-ordinate activities within the intracellular environment as well as ensuring cells know how to correctly respond to other cells and to an ever-changing extracellular environment as well.

Mechanisms of Cancer Stem Cell Survival, Metastasis Formation and Immune Evasion in Cancer

Recent research suggests that cancer cells within a tumour represent a highly heterogeneous cell population. In particular many tumours contain small percentage of cells that share several characteristics with stem cells. Read more

Inducing ferroptotic death to kill cancer cells

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of regulated necrotic cell death triggered by oxidative degradation of lipids in membrane bilayers and subsequent irreparable damages to the plasma membrane (1). Read more

Self funded MSc by Research or PhD in Biology: Ion channel signalling in cancer cells

Lead supervisor: Dr W Brackenbury. The student will be registered with the Department of Biology. Our cells constantly sense and transport ions present in their environment. Read more

Analysis of the role of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells in methotrexate-induced liver toxicity

Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) comprise approximately 50% of the non-parenchymal hepatic cells. They play a vital role in hepatic microcirculation and provide a physiological barrier to the movement of xenobiotics from the bloodstream to hepatic tissue. 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

Development of a personalized therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)

  Research Group: Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating cardiovascular disorder which, if left untreated, leads to heart failure and death. Read more

Establishing the effect of microplastic and nanoplastic exposure on inflammatory bowel disease

Applications are invited for a three-year PhD studentship. The studentship will start on 01 October 2024. Project Description. Microplastics (<5 mm) are contaminating our food and mineral water. Read more

A 3D-Printed Blood-Brain-Barrier-on-a-Chip for Agrochemical Permeability Studies – CASE Studentship

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) tightly regulates the flow of material between the bloodstream and the brain. One of the big problems faced by a range of sectors, from pharmaceuticals to agrochemicals, is understanding how compounds interact with and cross this barrier. Read more

Discovery and profiling of small-molecule inhibitors of cellular nuclease enzymes

Nuclease enzymes are non-traditional drug targets that attract an increasing amount of interest as potential targets relevant for a variety of therapeutic areas including infection, cancer and bone disease. Read more

Therapeutic resolution of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) by natural products

  Research Group: Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating cardiovascular disorder which, if left untreated, leads to heart failure and death. Read more
