Using physical activity and physical function metrics to develop a ‘movement age’ in those with multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs)
Project. Aim: To investigate whether daily physical activity as recorded using a wearable device and an individual’s physical function, can be used as a reliable estimation of biological age (conceptualised as ‘movement age’) in adults with multiple long-term health conditions (MLTCs). Read more
Targeting senescence to ameliorate ageing and treat cancer and other age-related diseases
Ageing is a biological process that affects all humans. Despite the scientific advances of the past decades, the mechanisms that lead to ageing are not fully understood. Read more
CRUK Black Leaders in Cancer Non-Clinical PhD Scholarship: The ageing tumour microenvironment in ER+ breast cancer - identifying age-associated regulators of cytotoxic T-cell infiltration and activity
This programme is aimed at students from Black heritage backgrounds pursuing a PhD in cancer-related fields. This scheme is open to people who self-identify as being from a Black heritage background, including a mixed background, for example. Read more
The molecular basis of age-related changes to lumbosacral spinal autonomic and motoneurons.
Ageing may lead to a progressive loss of physiological function resulting in a reduced quality of life for elderly people. Significantly, many aged people suffer from bladder/bowel and sexual dysfunction, which can include constipation, incontinence and impaired sexual function. Read more
Food protein digestion model in relation to age
Tune in for our live webinars coming up - the next on April 3 and the one after on June 5. Protein is one of the essential nutrients for human body, which maintains life activities and health. Read more
The effect of age on arterial remodelling: relevance to atherosclerotic plaque progression and aneurysm formation
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory vascular disease involving plaques composed of lipid-dense cores filled with activated, apoptotic and necrotic inflammatory and vascular cells coated with a fibrous cap. Read more
Self-funded MSc R- Effects of age on disease defence strategies in ants
Group living offers favourable conditions for the spread of infectious diseases, because high population densities and frequent social contacts facilitate pathogen transmission. Read more
Unravelling cognitive impairments in psychotic disorders through novel computational neuroimaging approaches
Cognitive impairments are among the earliest and most disabling symptoms of psychotic disorders like schizophrenia. However, lived experienced experts have highlighted that cognitive impairments are currently poorly understood, are rarely considered by treating clinicians, and are often resistant to existing treatments.

CRUK Black Leaders in Cancer Non-Clinical PhD Scholarship: Investigating the influence of the aged microbiome on the immune response to cancer
This programme is aimed at students from Black heritage backgrounds pursuing a PhD in cancer-related fields. This scheme is open to people who self-identify as being from a Black heritage background, including a mixed background, for example. Read more
Copyright Law and Platform Regulation in The Age of Artificial Intelligence
The advent of capable large language models (LLMs) has heralded a new age of artificial intelligence (AI) in real-world applications while presenting a set of novel and difficult problems for regulators. Read more
Using multi-methods research to explore the psychological, neural, and physiological correlates of age-related hearing loss.
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) affects 80% of older adults in the UK and leads to communication difficulties, contributing to social withdrawal, isolation, loneliness and depression, amongst other mental and physical health issues. Read more
Investigating the Neurocognitive Mechanisms Underlying the Benefits of Classroom Exercise Breaks in School-Age Children
Introduction. Classroom exercise breaks (CEB) are suggested to improve children’s executive function, attention and concentration in schools. Read more
Age-related disease: Fidelity mechanisms that protect against epigenetic decay
Inside the mammalian cell nucleus DNA and associated proteins are spatially organised and differentially compacted, so that some genes are accessible and some are not. Read more
Old age macrophages? Programming distinct immune behaviours across the lifecourse
The white blood cells known as macrophages are a highly heterogeneous population of cells and this diversity is necessary for their plastic responses to a changing microenvironment and a wide-range of required functions in vivo. Read more
Neurocognitive status in adolescents and young adults with cancer and its impact on core outcomes
This is an opportunity to study a fully-funded PhD in Manchester, UK, in oncology and cognitive function. The studentship includes UK fees and a monthly stipend for the duration of the programme. Read more
