1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Development and application of recombinant antibodies to map pathology-related changes in glycosaminoglycans on breast cancer cells
Summary of PhD Program:
This studentship will aim to isolate a range of recombinant antibodies that bind to GAGs, producing highly specific probes. The post will use the very latest developments in antibody phage display technology, coupling the binding of vast antibody-phage libraries containing billions of potential binders with the screening power of next generation sequencing (a process termed next generation phage display, NGPD). The studentship will apply NGPD to target cell surface GAGs from breast cancer cell populations, identify specific binders, clone and express binders and finally, characterise binding against breast cancer cell populations and defined GAG structures.
Application Deadline: 14 August 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Next-generation cancer diagnosis and treatment using integrated snake-like robot with optical imaging
Summary of PhD Program:
The cancer of the bile ducts affects around 3000 people in the UK each year and its incidence and mortality are increasing. We are seeking a Ph.D. student to join our multidisciplinary team developing a radical solution for better detection and treatment that uses ultra-thin snake-like robots and advanced optical imaging techniques. We aim to combine Raman spectroscopy, a powerful label-free analytical technique that measures the molecular composition of tissue by using light to excite molecular vibrations, with imaging techniques in optical fibres, hair-thin pieces of glass, for 3D mapping of cancer tissue. Using lasers in the visible range allow the Raman measurements to be integrated with cutting edge fibre-optics and micro-imaging modalities, such that molecular specific information can be obtained from microscopic biological samples and maps of cancer can be made.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Joint modelling of latent trajectories for dynamic prediction of competing outcomes in patients with liver disease
Summary of PhD Program:
Liver disease is a common cause of illness and death that is increasing in western countries such as the UK and Denmark, particularly for people under 65 years old. However, the population of liver disease patients consists of people who differ with respect to both their cause of disease, and additional factors such as co-existing conditions and their general medical history. Consequently, disease progression varies substantially: some patients may die early from their liver disease, others might be more at risk of death from causes unrelated to liver disease, whereas for other patients their liver disease does not impact on overall survival.
Application Deadline: 31 July 2024

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in flow crystallisation with in situ X-Ray diffraction
Summary of PhD Program:
We are pleased to announce a PhD opportunity in flow crystallisation with in situ X-Ray diffraction. This multi-disciplinary PhD will combine reactor design, crystallisation, crystal engineering and data science. You’ll be joining a group of students developing a variety of flow apparatus for tailored needs. At Diamond Light Source, the UK’s national synchrotron, we have developed world leading in situ flow crystallisation apparatus which enables us to monitor what we are crystallising as it is crystallising. By coordinating the flow of crystals within the crystalliser tubing with the movement of the whole crystalliser as the crystals pass the X-Ray beam, we can maximise the data which can be obtained from this dynamic environment. However, there are still great challenges to be overcome.

17. Fully Funded PhD Position in High Impact sulphur flavour compounds in hop products
Summary of PhD Program:
This project will be focused around intensely aromatic hop sulfur compounds such as 4-methyl-mercaptopentanone (4-MMP) or 3-MH (3-mercaptohexanol). These and related compounds are responsible for the tropical, citrus and exotic fruit flavours typically present in beers dry-hopped with ‘New World’ varieties. The program of work will establish analytical protocols for these low level, high flavour impact sulfur compounds using techniques such as GC-PFPD and GC-QTOF/SCD. These will then be applied throughout the project to appraise the sulfur fractions resulting from different varieties, hop oil isolation techniques and fractionation processes, to support development of commercial products with desirable flavour properties.
