Using CRISPR to study the molecular mechanisms of thrombosis and haemostasis

Project Overview. Platelets are the small cells in the blood whose job it is to prevent bleeding. Under normal conditions, when they encounter a damaged blood vessel they become activated and form a thrombus. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr C.E. Hughes
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only

The roles of obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes in cardiovascular and thrombotic disease: why is the risk so high?

Project Overview: . The risk of heart attack or stroke (thrombosis) is elevated in obesity and in people with metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes. Read more

The impact of micro- and nanoplastics on haemostasis and thrombosis

Project Overview. Plastics naturally degrade into microscopic particles over time. While the environmental consequences of micro- and nanoplastic (MNP) pollution are well-documented, these particles are increasingly making their way into the food chain. Read more
