  Longitudinal study design to efficiently estimate biomarker change-point outcomes and time-to-change-point
Medical Research Council (Cambridge) MRC Biostatistics Unit
  Dr S White, Dr B Tom
Application Deadline: 3 January 2019
It is common to make longitudinal observations, repeated measurements over time, of biomarkers (and other covariates). Rather than smoothly changing over time, some biomarkers may exhibit sharp changes in their behaviour; a change-point is an identifiable shift in the long-run biomarker level.

  Development of image-based method for the quantitative assessment of cartilage damage from CT images as a biomarker in osteoarthritis
University of Oxford Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology
  Dr NH Lim, Dr B Papiez
Application Deadline: 11 January 2019
A major hurdle in the development of disease modifying osteoarthritis (OA) drugs is that there is no robust quantitative biomarker for the disease.

  PhD in Engineering: Headspace metabolomics for non-invasive biomarker discovery
University of Glasgow College of Science and Engineering
  Dr C Gauchotte-Lindsay, Dr E Combet Aspray, Prof G Ramage
Application Deadline: 11 January 2019
Recent developments in advanced mass spectrometry and data treatment tools has led to a boom in the efficient design of point-of-care testing (POCT).

  The eye as a window to the central nervous system – an artificial intelligence approach to biomarker discovery for MS
University of Edinburgh College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine
  Research Group: Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences
  Dr T MacGillivray, Prof B Dhillon
Application Deadline: 7 February 2019
The eye, with common embryonic origins to the brain and other shared anatomical features such as a blood–tissue barrier and nerves, is an area of the central nervous system amenable to non-invasive study.

  Using state-of-the-art proteomics to study the cellular and extracellular protein composition in human kidney disease; identification of novel biomarkers and bioactive drug targets in IgA Nephropathy
University of Leicester Department of Infection Immunity & Inflammation
  Dr A Didangelos, Prof J Barratt
Applications accepted all year round
One of the key pathological characteristics of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the maladaptive and chronic accumulation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in affected glomeruli leading to fibrosis and progressive loss of function.

  Risk prediction of time to onset of Alzheimer’s disease using imaging modalities within DPUK
Medical Research Council (Cambridge) MRC Biostatistics Unit
  Dr S White, Dr B Tom
Application Deadline: 3 January 2019
Predicting the time to onset of Alzheimer’s disease is challenging, but predictions will help to identify patients at risk and help to identify patients that may benefit from new developments in care and treatment.

  Pathophysiological characterization of novel biomarkers and development of tests for diagnosis and monitoring osteoarthritis
University of Bristol Faculty of Health Sciences
  Dr M Sharif
Applications accepted all year round
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common chronic diseases affecting the adult population. Currently, definitive diagnosis of OA is usually made using plain x-rays at relatively advanced stages of the disease when there is irreparable damage to the joint(s).
