1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Novel subsurface Raman microscopy technologies to enable the development of next-generation drug and implant therapies
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, the student will develop various approaches to allow deep Raman spectroscopy. These approaches will rely on computer modelling of light propagation in tissue to understand how to deliver and collect efficiently light from the desired region of interest into tissue. This information will then be used to design and build optimised instruments, which will then be used to carry out experiments. The project will explore the use of spatial light modulators and implantable wireless optoelectronics to maximise the penetration depth, spatial resolution and sensitivity to the required molecular markers.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Health economic evaluation of community acquired pneumonia in the UK
Summary of PhD Program:
Pneumonia is a common illness that results in over 100,000 hospital admissions per year in the UK. Following hospital treatment for pneumonia, 55% of patients visit their GP within 30 days of discharge from hospital while 15% are readmitted to hospital within 30 days of discharge. Despite the high morbidity experienced and described by patients, there are few interventions that are currently in place to support recovery. To determine how to best intervene in a cost-effective manner, up to date cost estimates and quality of life measures for patients who have pneumonia treated both in the community and in hospital are required.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Next generation bio-instructive materials for healthcare applications
Summary of PhD Program:
The care and management of wounds is an ever-increasing challenge with greater numbers of hard-to-heal wounds associated with microbial biofilms driven by ageing populations and increased prevalence of diabetes creating additional burdens on international healthcare systems. Recently, droplet microfluidics has been used to develop crosslinked, functionalised 3D polymer microparticles to promote wound healing. This project aims to create a functionalised, bioresorbable microparticle system that can promote wound healing over a 21-day period. By using hydrogel materials, this also opens the possibility of adding an active agent in the core for further functionality, which could be explored during this project.

19. Fully Funded PhD Position in Using next generation nitrogen sources for producing spring malting barley and its impact on yield and grain malt quality
Summary of PhD Program:
An exciting opportunity has arisen to study for a PhD sponsored by Molson Coors Beverage Company and the BBSRC as a part of a collaborative training centre (‘BARIToNE’) focused on assuring the future sustainable supply of UK malting barley. This project falls under the ‘reduced inputs’ theme of BARIToNE.
Malted barley is the single largest dry ingredient in brewing beer. Optimizing barley production and enhancing the production of tons of barley per hectare while increasing barley quality simultaneously are essential to developing the most sustainable barley supply chain globally. Presently, nitrogen fertilizers contribute 50-70% of greenhouse gas emissions associated with barley production.
