PhD Studentship: Functional genomic characterisation of genetic risk for diabetic neuropathy using human stem cell models
Around half of all people with diabetes develop peripheral neuropathy, its commonest complication worldwide. It begins with the loss of the smallest sensory nerve fibres, causing pain,…

PhD Studentship: Functional genomics of health and unhealthy fat distribution
Where fat is stored in our bodies is a major determinant of health. Storing fat safely under the skin (subcutaneous fat) protects against metabolic disease like heart failure and type 2…

PhD Studentship: Functional interpretation of human NF1 genetic variation using precision genome editing and in vivo phenotyping
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder that causes a range of symptoms and affects approximately 1 in 3,000 people. These include abnormalities in skin pigmentation, problems…

PhD Studentship: Modelling coevolution in aquatic environments shaped by flow
Coevolution is the process of species evolving together and influencing each other’s evolutionary path. For a system of microbes and viruses, this entails an ongoing dynamic of the host…

PhD Studentship: AI-Enabled Smart Spectroscopy Pixels: Revealing Microbial Responses to Antibiotics
Spectroscopy has long offered a powerful window into nature, revealing the hidden structure and dynamics of matter through its interaction with light. Extending this window to individual…

PhD Studentship: Mapping and functional interrogation of mitochondrial DNA modifications in Parkinson’s disease
There is increasing evidence that the mitochondrial genome may be regulated by DNA modifications, but their extent, identity and functional importance remain unclear. This uncertainty…

PhD Studentship: Next-generation machine learning for genetic interaction prediction with lab-in the-loop validation in pancreatic cancer
Background Cancer cells often depend on specific genes to survive, making those genes attractive drug targets. CRISPR screens knock out genes to measure their importance for cancer cell…

PhD Studentship: One read, one cell: Decoding cell identity with long-read sequencing
Background What if we could resolve the epigenome of individual cell types from complex human tissues without ever having to physically separate the cells? The majority of…

PhD Studentship: Quantifying compounding and cascading physical climate risk to UK infrastructure
Climate change is intensifying hazards, such as flooding, heat, drought, storms, that threaten the resilience of UK infrastructure. Most existing risk assessments treat these hazards in…
-
PhD Studentship: Physics-Informed AI and Experimental Modelling of Ocean Mixing: From Fracture Zones to Ocean Ventilation
Ocean mixing plays a fundamental role in regulating Earth's climate by controlling how heat, carbon and nutrients are transported through the deep ocean. Small scale turbulent mixing drives…
-
PhD Studentship: Integrating sensing, modelling and data analytics to understand forest microclimate dynamics under fire, degradation and climate change in Amazonia
This project combines environmental sensing, computational modelling and data analytics to understand how climate change, wildfire and land use are reshaping tropical forest microclimates.…
-
PhD Studentship: Integrating Machine Learning with One Health Frameworks to Quantify Disease Transmission Pathways between Wildlife and the Environment
The behaviour of animals determines their responses to environmental change and ultimately shapes whether populations persist or decline. Tools to record and analyse the behaviour of…
-
PhD Studentship: Improving Artificial Intelligence through Neuroscience
Neuroscience has been a major source of inspiration for modern Artificial Intelligence frameworks, such as Deep Networks, Reinforcement Learning, and Large Language Models. This project…

PhD Studentship: AI and Image Processing for Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) Smart Cameras
Background: Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness in working aged people. All people with diabetes aged over 12 need annual retina screening by attending ophthalmology…
-
PhD Studentship: Using data to predict risk of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury (HA-AKI)
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is where kidneys suddenly stop working properly. It can range from minor loss of kidney function to complete kidney failure. Without quick treatment,…
-
PhD Studentship: Engineering Catalyst-Layer Microenvironments for Selective and Durable Acidic CO₂ Electrolysis
Electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide offers a route to manufacture valuable chemicals using renewable electricity. However, most high-rate CO₂ electrolysers operate under alkaline…
-
PhD Studentship: Engineering Ceramic Powder Feedstocks for Additive Manufacturing of Components for Extreme Environments
Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, and presents a significant socioeconomic burden from direct treatment costs, and indirect costs due to losses in productivity. An…
-
PhD Studentship: Multiscale Scientific Machine Learning Digital Twins for High-Torque Electric Propulsion under Extreme Duty Cycles
Electrifying heavy-duty maritime vessels, mining equipment and off-highway machinery is central to Net Zero and Clean Energy goals. Unlike conventional automotive traction systems, electric…
