back pain PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 9 back pain PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Morphology, motion, and mechanics of vertebral joints in fish
We depend on healthy joints to stay active, independent and productive. Disorders of the joints of our spine (intervertebral joints) are particularly disruptive, with back pain and disorders impacting millions of people. Read more
3D-printing of implantable devices for sustained drug delivery
The demand for customised medical devices is driving growth in the 3D-printing medical device market, valued at US$3.76 billion and growing at 14% annually. Read more

Cardiovascular and Neuromuscular Functions around the Clock: Harnessing Protective Endogenous Mechanisms towards Smarter Design of Novel Therapies and Interventions
Optimal tissue and organ is essential for long-term health and quality of life. One such important regulator within the body is related to circadian rhythms, which control ~24h cycles in many physiological processes such as sleep/wake cycles, physical activity/rest cycles, drug metabolism and hormones.

Integrating Morphology and Biomechanics: Developing a Statistical Shape and Appearance Model (SSAM) for Spinal Health Assessment and Intervention Plan
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
Back pain, the leading cause of disability in the UK, is often due to intervertebral disc degeneration. Surgical interventions, including fixation devices, frequently fail due to a lack of consideration for patient-specific variability in vertebral shape, spinal curvature, and bone density. Read more
Investigating the role of Aquaporins in age related diseases
Physical frailty, with its associated immobility and disability, is a major factor limiting independence among older people. A key contributor to frailty is a decline in muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia) and the burden of sarcopenia is substantial, with a cost to the NHS of ~£2.5bn/pa. Read more
Characterisation of a novel molecular temperature receptor
Painful stimuli are detected and processed at the level of the primary sensory nerve, which is the first in a chain of nerves that deliver information of potential environmental harm to the brain. Read more

CASE Project: Use of physiologically relevant in vitro cell models for the development of biology-driven approaches to enhance the efficacy of scalp and limb cooling technologies
This project will be undertaken in collaboration with Paxman Coolers Ltd and will involve a minimum 3-month placement based at the Industry Partner's premises. Read more
