Development of Naked Mole Rat Colonic Crypt Models to Use in the Search for Bowel Disease Preventatives
Diseases affecting the bowel such as colorectal cancer (CRC) and the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are major global healthcare challenges in the 21st century. Read more
Identification of cis- and trans-acting genetic modifiers of somatic expansion as novel therapeutic targets in the repeat expansion disorders
At least 40 human disorders, including Huntington disease and myotonic dystrophy, are caused by the expansion of a simple sequence repeat [1]. Read more

4-year PhD Studentship: The molecular mechanisms of transcranial ultrasound neuromodulation as a novel therapeutic intervention in neurological disorders
Neural activity follows repetitive, rhythmic patterns, caused by oscillations in membrane potentials or synchronised action potential firing. Read more
Investigating the link between amyloid-β oligomers, neuroinflammation and cognitive deficits in preclinical models for Alzheimer’s Disease
Currently four out of the five pharmacological treatments used for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors aimed at boosting the amount of acetylcholine in the brain, with the fifth being an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. Read more

Rice farming and rodent-borne zoonoses
Land-use changes due to intensified agricultural practices are a concern in the Philippines (Dirzo et al, 2014). The replacement of forests by mixed agroecosystems and high-value crops has led to biodiversity loss and increased contact of humans with wild animal populations. Read more

Cell-to-cell spread of Marek's Disease Virus
The sustainability of global food production is under threat from the increase in human population, reduced availability of natural resources and climate change. Read more
Exploring the role of matrix encapsulation on early developmental decisions using non-animal sourced hydrogels
A PhD studentship in stem cell biology and disease modelling is available in Prof Merry’s group (. https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/medicine/people/cathy.merry. Read more
Development of an isolated glomerular albumin permeability assay to high throughput for drug screening in human glomerular disease
Rationale. There is an urgent need to identify new clinical treatments for those with kidney disease. It is also critical to have a screening system to enable us to identify novel drugs that are relevant to humans. Read more
Deciphering disease mechanisms underlying hypertensive pregnancy
Project outline. The incidence of cardiovascular disease amongst women of child-bearing age is increasing. Consequently there is a greater prevalence of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, in particular pre-eclampsia (PE), which is a leading cause of maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality. Read more
Interpretation of animal behaviors using novel video processing techniques in Artificial Intelligence
This PhD project will introduce new video processing and analysis tools based on state-of-the-art innovations in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Read more
