PHD / MSCR PROJECT: How neurones engage astrocytes in network activity
It is now firmly established that in the mammalian brain neuronal networks cannot successfully perform their functions without concomitant metabolic and signalling support from the adjacent glial cells, called astrocytes. Read more
(EPSRC DTP) Rapid adaptive radiotherapy planning following dynamic changes in tumour physiology in cervical cancer
Locally advanced cervical cancer can be cured by radical chemoradiation however local failure occurs in 10-15% and systemic relapse leading to death in 40-50% depending upon stage. Read more
Spatial tipping points, early warning signals and lung physiology: when can we predict catastrophic change?
Do you want to do genuinely interdisciplinary research at the interface of applied mathematics, physiology and bioengineering? A fully-funded PhD position (tuition+fees+stipend) is available at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, jointly supervised between applied mathematics and bioengineering. Read more
SELF-FUNDING MSc BY RESEARCH PROJECT: Circadian Oscillators in Drinking and Feeding Brain Circuits.
Daily or circadian rhythms pervade all aspects of our physiology and behaviour (Hastings et al., 2018). By convention, these rhythms are attributed to the activity of the brain’s suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN). Read more

Compasses and odometers of the brain
Have you ever wondered how insects migrate across the globe without getting lost? Come, work with us. Insects are well known for being accomplished navigators-moths, butterflies, locusts, dragonflies, and beetles can travel across countries and continents during seasonal migration. Read more
MSC BY RESEARCH: Involvement of astrocytes in neurological manifestations of Long COVID syndrome
A significant fraction of patients affected by Long COVID, long-term consequences following acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, suffer from mental fatigue and cognitive deficits (1-3). Read more
Quantitative MRI measurements to probe brain physiology
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can produce exquisite pictures of the brain. It is used to diagnose a variety of neurological diseases. Read more
SELF-FUNDING MSc BY RESEARCH PROJECT: The role of acute hypoxemia on potentially fatal cardiac ventricular arrythmias in humans
This exciting project aims to investigate the effect of acute hypoxemia on cardiac repolarization of human subjects with different morbidities. Read more
SELF-FUNDED MSC BY RESEARCH: ABCC9 mutations and risk of sudden cardiac death
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an important clinical problem and has a lasting impact on relatives of the deceased, particularly when sudden death occurs… Read more
SELF-FUNDING MSc BY RESEARCH PROJECT: Probing the projections of different types of dopamine neurons
What makes one neuron different from another? How can we define different “types” of cells? Are cell types important?. In Parkinson’s disease some dopamine neurons seem to be more vulnerable to neurodegeneration. Read more
MSC BY RESEARCH - Preserving t-tubule function in adult cardiac myocytes in short-term culture
Invaginations of the sarcolemma of adult cardiac myocytes known as transverse (or t-) tubules account for up to 65% of the total sarcolemma surface and play a key role in excitation-contraction (EC) coupling and cell signalling (Hong & Shaw, 2017). Read more

PhD studentship in the field of synaptic physiology
The University Hospital Bonn is a maximum care facility with a regular capacity of 1.300 beds. Our current staff of more than 9.000 performs assigned duties in research, teaching and medical treatment, including the use of advanced medical technologies, and public health care services at the highest possible level. Read more
SELF-FUNDED MSC BY RESEARCH: Modulation of Brain Energy Metabolism by Astrocytic G-protein-coupled Receptors
It has become increasingly clear that ‘neuro’science research must consider the roles of non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system if integrated brain function is to be ultimately understood. Read more
MScR - In vivo characterisation of novel risk genes for Alzheimers disease identified by Genome Wide Association Studies
Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have identified a number of genes that are significantly associated with the disease (van der Kant et al., 2019). Read more
MScR - Determining the genetic and circadian basis of bipolar disorder using Drosophila
Circadian rhythms and sleep are evolutionarily conserved from fruit flies (Drosophila) and are fundamental as well as vital to biology and health (Jagannath et al., 2017; Menet and Rosbash, 2011). Read more
