Do malaria parasites trigger the MAP kinase pathway in antigen presenting cells?
Supervisor:
DR TRACEY J LAMB
School:
Please select a school
Department:
Biological Science, Biological Sciences
When immune cells recognise some types of foreign antigens, the MAP kinase signalling pathway plays an important role in the subsequent immune response generated. This project will determine whether the MAP kinase signalling pathway is triggered in antigen presenting cells responding to malaria parasites.

Dorsal Ventral Patterning of the neural tube in the Occipital region of embryos.
Supervisor:
Professor Ketan Patel
School:
Please select a school
Department:
Biomolecular Sciences, Biological Sciences
The development of specific cell types in the correct spatial region is a perquisite for normal development during embryogenesis. This proposal will determine whether the classical mechanisms used to pattern neural tube are applied to a special region called the occipital.

Electrospun nanoscale polymer fibres with application in protective clothing
Supervisor:
Professor Geoffrey Mitchell
School:
Mathematics, Meteorology and Physics
Department:
Centre for Advanced Microscopy, Mathematics, Meteorology and Physics
Electrospinning provides an effective route to the preparation of nano scale fibres of synthetic and biological polymers. It is an enabling technology with many applications and in this project we explore the potential for fibres containing antibacterial agents for protective clothing.
