This DNA nanotechnology project involves exploiting biomolecular recognition, using protein and DNA segments as the building blocks, to generate structures that can operate as molecular machines for eventual molecular data storage applications. The student will prepare interlocked molecules (rotaxanes and catenanes) made out of DNA and peptides. He/she...
Bacterial infections are becoming harder to treat as antibiotic resistance becomes increasingly prevalent. There is also a lack of drugs in the pipeline to take the place of those that can no longer be used due to resistance and novel therapeutic options are needed.
Many Gram-negative pathogens, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are particularly difficult...
We have developed a novel class of metal-based cylinders that bind to DNA Y-shaped junctions. These cylinders show an exciting activity to push rapidly dividing cells into cytostasis (in cell line studies) but we want to further understand the basic cell and molecular biology of these agents in more detail specifically: (i) how they enter the cell and...

The stiffness of the human myocardium increases as part of the ageing process. This can lead to ventricular pathologies such as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), especially in elderly in the presence of co-morbidities. The mechanisms underlying increased myocardial stiffness are not understood. Moreover, atrial remodelling may be...
This PhD project will attempt to answer the following question: "To what extent can artificial nucleic acids,[1] in which the components of DNA are replaced with metal-containing units, mimic the structure and function of naturally occurring nucleic acids?"
The student will study the spectroscopic and redox properties of various metal-containing DNA...
