Microbial Diseases Within the Microbial Disease Research Group there is a strong focus on investigating the involvement and management of biofilms in clinical infection.			Project
Pathogenesis of neurodegeneration The project will investigate the role of transglutaminase 6 in the cerebellum and analyse its link to causing ataxia as an associated pathology.			Project
Novel biomarkers for arthritis This PhD project will investigate qualitative protein changes that are unique to degenerative joint pathologies.			Project
Studying human neuropsychiatric disease in DLG2 deficient human neurons This PhD project in Medicine tries to understand DLG2’s role during neural development and in mature neurons using variety of techniques.			Project
Regulation of cancer stem cells by proteolysis Cancer stem cells have recently been identified to be responsible for disease recurrance and metastatic spread.			Project
PhD in Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences: Discovery of novel cancer immunotherapeutic agents This PhD project will pursue the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of small synthetic molecules that manipulate the immune system to eliminate cancer cells.			Project
Mechanisms underlying preferential ‘scarless’ wound healing in the oral mucosa This project aims to identify the key genes and signalling pathways underlying preferential scarless wound healing responses in oral mucosal fibroblasts.			Project
Stem cell transplant efficacy in Parkinson’s disease This project focuses on developing the in vivo rodent models used for transplantation to determine whether additional factors could influence the development and/or function of the graft.			Project
Integration of genetic and functional data to identify drug targets and enhance risk prediction Integrating brain expression and protein-protein interaction data with genomic data identified a network of immune-related genes implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) susceptibility.			Project
