A bioengineered 3D model of obesity-related breast cancer to investigate the anti-tumour immune response induced by exercise (Ref: SSEHS/MM25)

Loughborough University

School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences

Background. Breast cancer diagnoses affect 1 in 7 UK women, estimated to coast ~£3.6 billion by 2034 (breastcancernow.org). Lifestyle factors, including sedentary behaviour and obesity, significantly influence breast cancer risk, with inactivity alone costing ~£7.4 billion/year (www.gov.uk/phe). Read more

MSc by Research: Computational Evolutionary Transcriptomics for Cancer Diagnostics

University of Dundee

School of Life Sciences

In this computational Master project, we will consult new transcriptomic evidence from bulk- and single cells (single-cell genomics) to test whether evolutionary information of gene birth events within the tree of life can be harnessed to inform transcriptomic signatures for cancer type diagnostics (evolutionary transcriptomics). .

The role of sleep disturbances and psychological processes in self-injury: implications for suicide prevention (Ref: SSEHS/ER25)

Loughborough University

School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences

There has been considerable growth in research seeking to understand the role of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in predicting future suicidal behaviour (Grandclerc et al., 2016) given NSSI and suicidal behaviour frequently co-occur ( O’Connor et al., 2018), though it is acknowledged that establishing temporal relationships between constructs is necessary as it is not yet understood.

In silico modelling of endocannabinoid evolution

University of Worcester

Research School

In the brain, the endocannabinoid (eCB) system maintains adequate neurotransmission (Lu and Mackie 2016). Indeed, the eCB system provides a negative feedback mechanism, preventing over-activation of synaptic transmission. Read more

Molecular mechanisms of membrane proteins underlying social insect behavior

Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology

International Max Planck Research School

Background. The ecological success of social insects (e.g., bees, ants) relies on their complex cooperative behavior (e.g., brood care, division of labour) but the chemical and molecular bases of most of these behaviors remain largely unexplored. Read more
