    About

    Overview

    We invite proposals for MPhil and PhD biotechnology projects in the field of medical sciences.

    Our biotechnology PhD and MPhil sits in the Faculty of Medical Sciences (FMS).

    We offer MPhil and PhD supervision in the following research areas:

    Our research focuses on translational medicine. This spans drug discovery and development to effective product commercialisation and process optimisation. Our key areas are:

    • the development of drugs for the treatment of cancer and psychiatric disorders
    • novel antibiotic innovation
    • design and development of integrated electrochemical and bio-microelectromechanical (bio-MEMS) sensors. This is for the application to diagnosis of disease processes and sensor technologies. This provides real-time, high content intracellular analysis using polymer-based nanosensor systems
