Informing transboundary disease spread with animal movement technology
This fully funded 3.5 year PhD training programme provides unique inter-disciplinary training in transboundary disease epidemiology, mathematical modelling and statistics, animal movement, and health economics. Read more
Impacts of disease (chytridiomycosis) and environmental contaminants on wildlife conservation (amphibians)
Wildlife are in peril due to numerous threatening processes. Amphibians (especially frogs) are the most endangered Class of Vertebrates. Read more
Respiratory and anaesthetic characterisation, animal well-being, and refinement of advanced cardiovascular research models in large animal
Supervisors. Vito Domenico Bruno (primary supervisor), Raimondo Ascione. Background. Millions of patients globally are still suffering with severe cardiovascular disease leading to death or debilitating complications such as myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, and limb amputation (1-2).

Development of Naked Mole Rat Colonic Crypt Models to Use in the Search for Bowel Disease Preventatives
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
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
PhD in Infection, Immunity, Antimicrobial Resistance & Repair - Investigating long noncoding RNAs as novel therapies in chronic kidney disease
SUMMARY. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 15% of the global population and is associated with significant multimorbidity and high mortality, but has no cure. Read more
Can transcranial ultrasound be used to change the course of neurodegenerative disease?
White matter impairments are a major component of various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease(1,2). White matter is composed of neuronal axons and their encasing myelin; a lipid-rich material produced by the oligodendroglia. 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
MScR: 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
Elucidating T cell phenotype and function in frozen shoulder (NDORMS 2024/5)
Frozen shoulder is a disabling condition affecting 10% of the working population. Disease causes significant pain and immobility of the shoulder joint, reducing life quality of affected patients. Read more
Better diagnosis and intervention for sarcopenia and frailty, and multimorbidity (cardiovascular disease, heart failure, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)) utilizing metabolomic.
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
Wide range of PhD topics and methodologies are available for those interested in older age and chronic disease. We are able to offer multidisciplinary projects for studies with human, animal models, metabolomics, and biology in relation to the advertise title. Read more
Mathematical modelling of transmission and worldwide distribution of neglected zoonotic diseases (Q fever)
A 3-year fully funded position is available to contribute substantially to the development of a new modelling approach for the prediction and control of zoonotic diseases (Q fever). Read more
Genetic approaches for rational development of animal models of complex I-linked mitochondrial disease
Mutations in mitochondrial complex I genes are common causes of primary mitochondrial neuromuscular diseases such as Leigh syndrome. Read more
