We have an exciting opportunity for a fully funded 1+3 years MRes + PhD studentship, as part of our EPSRC Sensor Technologies CDT, hosted in the Fruk Lab in collaboration with Hitachi. Deadline 7 June 2019, start October 2019 #findaphd #cambridgeuniversity #nanotech #cancer
Machine learning can be used to predict the properties of a group of materials, MOFs, that could be as important to the 21st century as plastics were to the 20th. Great new paper from Dr David Fairen-Jimenez and our Adsorption and Advanced Materials Group in Cell Press journal 'Matter' #MOFs #machinelearning bit.ly/2JoPame

Great upcoming event at Churchill College. Part of a wider series of conversations with distinguished academics hosted by Churchill Master Professor Dame Athene Donald, that explores paths taken by eminent academics who have made it to the top in their own particular ways.
Next in this series features Professor Melanie Welham — Executive Chair of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council who served on the advisory committee for the UK National Stem Cell Network from 2009–11.
Dr Vassiliadis contributed a talk on optimal control in chemical engineering at a memorial event for Roger Sargent https://buff.ly/2V7pTme #processsystemsengineering #complexproductionsystems #optimisingprocesses
An exploding chemical garden that's also a chemical clock: research from our Cardoso lab with colleagues in Spain, published in AngewandteChemie combines two classic demos in one beautiful example of active fluid dynamics https://buff.ly/2KFnj2W
The Department launches the Robin Paul Research Prize and calls for CEB researchers to start submitting high quality papers #studentsupport #researchimpact #publishedpapers https://buff.ly/2Da2d6j
We're really excited to be hosting the 2019 Africans in STEM symposium! The programme is currently open for abstract submissions so check it out and submit your poster or talk by 17 May
Researchers from our Centre for Neuropsychiatric Research have discovered new evidence of a direct genetic link between insulin resistance and schizophrenia, with the study also showing insulin resistance can reduce the effect of current schizophrenia treatments www.ceb.cam.ac.uk/…/news-l…/insulin-r esistance-schizophrenia
Great report by the BBC on the work that Dr Roisin Owens and team are doing to bring us closer to personalised medicine. Find out more about Roisin's work in our Bioelectronic Systems Technology Group www.ceb.cam.ac.uk/research/groups/best
