Transcription factors, enhancers and control of cell fate
Accurate gene expression is fundamental to life. Gene expression is controlled by transcription factors binding to regulatory elements in the genome (enhancers). Transcription fact...
Taming the big cat: reigning in processes behind tropical Pacific variability with the PUMACAT field campaign
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research.This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because i...

Towards AI-assisted Digitalisation of Structural Engineering Workflows
The current landscape of structural engineering is fragmented and in a state of flux between 2D plans used by builders and 2D or 3D plans used by architects.Many structural enginee...
Combining CMB polarization and galaxy surveys for cosmology and astrophysics
Cosmology offers a unique way to investigate open questions in fundamental physics, e.g. understanding 1) the nature of dark matter, a type of matter that interacts only gravitatio...
How does drug crystal shape and size influence drug transfer and retention in arterial tissue?
Drug-eluting stents (DES) and drug-coated balloons (DCB) are used to treat patients with obstructive coronary artery disease. Despite intense research over the past two decades, th...
Antibiotics and the response to infection
Antibiotics have a beneficial effect in human health by controlling bacterial infections. However, it is now obvious that treatment with antibiotics may affect human health at late...
Ageing healthily in Britain's coastal communities: understanding the potential of intergenerational engagement to reduce health inequalities in later
The proposed research the aims to address health inequalities among older individuals in coastal communities of England and Wales, with a focus on investigating the potential benef...
High entropy organic semiconductor blends for new optoelectronic and photonically active materials
Limiting global warming to 1.5 C requires net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 and necessitates renewable electricity reaching 63-81% of total energy generation. Photovoltaic technologie...
Who Answers What to Which? A Critical Examination of Survey Items in Measuring Public Attitudes Towards the British Welfare State
The British Social Attitudes Survey (BSAS) is a rich dataset that enables the examination of attitudes toward the British welfare state spanning four decades. The data has led to i...
Pioneering the next generation of flexible and adaptable environmental models: a case study of emerging contaminants
We are seeking an enthusiastic student to pioneer the next generation of environmental modelling innovation. Sitting at the intersection of disciplines, this exciting opportunity w...
Detection enhancement in Ge-based single photon avalanche diodes
In this project, I aim to develop Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADs) that are capable of highly sensitive 3D imaging, with potential applications in healthcare, autonomous vehi...
Characterisation and inhibition of snake venom metalloproteinases for next-generation antivenom
Snake venoms are mixtures of toxins, including snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs), which cause severe snakebite effects like tissue damage, bleeding, and coagulation disorders,...
TENSAR - Theory and Experiment for Nuclear Structure, Astrophysics & Reactions
For a hundred years, atomic nuclei have been probed more or less exclusively by studying collisions between stable beams and stable targets. This restricted the nuclei that could b...
Where is the permafrost? High-resolution 3D imaging of permafrost and ground ice in the Canadian Arctic
Permafrost degradation and thawing is an important indicator of climate change that impacts the geomorphology, eco-systems, and infrastructure of the Canadian Arctic. Ground ice is...
Systems metabolic engineering for efficient production of citric acid from CO2
The project will combine systems metabolic engineering strategies (systems and synthetic biology) and fermentation process in screening and characterising different enzymes suitabl...
Understanding exoplanets and their host stars using large data sets and AI
The possibility of planets orbiting other stars has been a topic of fascination for centuries. We are the first generation that has brought these planets - now known as exoplanets...
Developing a JUMP whole-systems approach to physical activity for teenage girls aged 11-16
This project will draw on the initial partners from the pilot phase of JUMP and seek to engage broader city-wide partners as JUMP progresses to a city-wide offer. The PhD encompass...

Changing landscapes: uncovering the molecular mechanisms of spinal cord development and regeneration in the axolotl
Axolotls have the remarkable capacity to regenerate the spinal cord. This ability relies on resident spinal cord stem cells. Following injury, these cells self-renew extensively an...
