Investigating Neuropeptide Signalling From Synthesis to Survival
Project Overview. Neuropeptides, comprising of short amino acid chains, are potent bioactive molecules with extensive neuromodulatory functions and are predominantly expressed within the central nervous system. Read more
Development of quantitative imaging biomarkers for characterization of neural functional abnormalities in preclinical models of neurodevelopmental disorders.
Applications should be made to the project supervisor, Harish Poptani (harishp@liverpool.ac.uk), in the first instance via CV and cover letter. Read more
Science Research Opportunities at the University of East Anglia
UEA is a top tier, research-led university committed to making a substantial impact on global challenges facing society for over 50 years. Read more
The epigenomic, transcriptional and diagnostic architecture of neurodevelopmental disorders caused by exposure to maternal infection
A fundamental unknown in understanding mechanisms of disease, and therefore improving therapy, is how stressors experienced during critical developmental periods influence the genesis or ‘programming’ of adult disease (Estes & McAllister 2016). Read more

Biology of ageing: investigating the effect of novel compounds and genetic interventions on longevity and functionality
One of the goals of ageing research is to identify compounds that can extend lifespan and/or improve physical and cognitive performance in old age. Read more
Comparative approaches to understand the evolution of the neuronal basis of defence behaviours in Drosophila
Project Background. Defence behaviours in face of a threat are ubiquitous in the animal kingdom, and their fast and flexible deployment is crucial for individual fitness and survival. Read more
MSc by Research: Developmental impact of sugar on brain reward circuits
The MSc by Research programme at the University of Aberdeen is for students interested in a research-intensive master's degree. It is designed specifically to enhance your skills for a PhD or research career. Read more
Genetic and molecular underpinnings of obesity - using veterinary models for insight into human disease
Why are some individuals prone to obesity and yet others stay lean in an obesogenic environment? Obesity is highly heritable as are related metabolic traits. Read more
Microplastics and Nanoplastics as Emerging Risk Factors in Neurodevelopmental and Neurodegenerative Condition
Project Overview. Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants raising concerns due to their potential adverse effects on human health. Read more
How do hormones regulate memory?
Deficiencies of thyroid hormone are common throughout the globe. Adult-onset hypothyroidism is prevalent in around 8-10% of the population and is associated with reproductive disorders, anxiety, depression and impairment of memory. Read more
