We have 29 autoimmune PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
(MRC DTP) A bioinformatics approach to identify pathogenic immune cell clusters relevant for human autoimmune diseases.
Background. Inflammatory arthritis (IA) can result from non-autoimmune diseases (like crystal arthritis) and from autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthropathies (inc. Read more
Uncovering new genetic mechanisms of beta-cell autoimmunity to better understand type 1 diabetes. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2025/26
About the GW4 BioMed2 Doctoral Training Partnership. The partnership brings together the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff (lead) and Exeter to develop the next generation of biomedical researchers. Read more
(MRC DTP CASE) Utilising Multiple Large International Real-World Data Sources to Investigate Treatment Patterns and Clinical Outcomes for Patients With Rare Autoimmune Inflammatory Diseases
You will use large international physician and patient-completed real-world datasets to understand disease, clinical and humanistic burden in patients across rare autoimmune neuromuscular inflammatory diseases, from multi-stakeholder perspective. Read more
Biomarker discovery of inflammatory pathways linked to mood and autoimmune disorders
Summary. Mood disorders (MDs), e.g. depression, affect over one billion people worldwide. MDs show a bidirectional relationship with systemic inflammation, a key component in the pathophysiology of autoimmune disorders (ADs), e.g. Read more
Investigating the epigenetic control of female-biased autoimmune disorders
Garvan Institute of Medical Research, University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia. Brief overview. Autoimmune disorders, including systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, present with a strong gender bias, with 80% of all patients being women. Read more
Identifying critical pathways regulating autoimmunity in immuno-oncology and arthritis patients. Short title: IPADS (Immune PAthways for Drug Side-effects)
Inflammatory arthritis (IA) can result from non-autoimmune diseases (like crystal arthritis) and from autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthropathies (inc. Read more
Identification and characterization of disease-specific subsets of antigen-presenting cells (APC) in inflammatory arthritis
Inflammatory arthritis (IA) can result from non-autoimmune diseases (like crystal arthritis) and from autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthropathies. Read more

Cognitive dysfunction in lupus: associations with (dys)regulation of cerebral blood flow and effects of exercise (LUPUS BRAIN BOOST)
This project provides an annual stipend of £19,237. . Project advert. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune condition marked by a range of severe and often life-altering symptoms. Read more
Investigating the immune-epithelial interactions that drive intestinal inflammation
Intraepithelial T lymphocytes (IEL) are at the forefront of mucosal immunity - the first immune cells that pathogens and symbionts encounter in the gut. Read more
(MRC DTP) Exploring the Impact of Ethnicity on Patient Pathways and Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis: Insights from UK Registry Data
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, leading to a range of physical and cognitive impairments. Read more
(MRC DTP) Exploring the gut skin axis in cutaneous Crohn’s disease
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a type of autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease characterised by severe inflammation in response to resident gut bacteria. Read more
(MRC DTP) Investigating the mechanisms behind sex differences in rhematic and musculoskeletal diseases
Collectively, autoimmune diseases affect approximately 1 in 10 individuals, of which ~65% are female. This is particularly true of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs), such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which effects 9 women for every 1 man. Read more
Hunting for injured nerves: Discovering diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers for painful nerve injury using targeted binding domain libraries from the shark immune system
Commercial partner: Elasmogen Limited. Chronic pain as a result of nerve damage or disease – known as neuropathic pain - affects as many as 7-10% of the population in the UK in their lifetime. Read more

Non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases – towards an innovative alternative therapy using helminth infections or helminth-derived products
This project provides an annual stipend of £19,237. . Project advert. Parasitic worms called helminths are the most common infectious agents worldwide with 3.5 billion infected people. Read more
