Exploring Glucocorticoid Metabolism as a Therapeutic Target for Bone Wasting Related to Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common long-term condition, affecting 1 in 7 people above the age of 65 years in England. Read more
Understanding the cellular mechanisms underpinning the loss of bone homeostasis in inflammation and ageing to identify novel therapeutic targets
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research to join the research team led by Dr Amy Naylor. https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/inflammation-ageing/naylor-amy.aspx. Read more
Investigating the links between β-amyloid, osteoporosis and frailty in Alzheimer’s disease
Background. Individuals with Alzheimer’s disease are more likely to suffer from osteoporosis (the loss of bone mass and strength) than age-matched individuals1, significantly contributing to the frailty associated with dementia. Read more
Effect of bone anabolic interventions on the bone morphological and mechanical properties
Musculoskeletal diseases have a huge impact in our ageing society, affecting dramatically the disability of patients suffering from them. Read more
Cancer Engineering : Bone metastases in breast cancer patients
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
Would you like to learn new skills in mechanical and medical engineering with a focus on multiscale bone biomechanics, 3D printing and advanced computational modelling ? Could you be a future research leader in providing solutions to some of Europe’s most pressing healthcare problems? Do you want to further your career at one of the UK’s leading research intensive universities?. Read more
Enhancing PMMA Bone Cement Performance and Biocompatibility using Metal-Organic Frameworks
Applications are invited for a self-funded, 3 year full-time or 6 year part-time PhD project. The PhD will be based in the School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences and will be supervised by Dr Marta Roldo and Professor Paul Cox. Read more
A novel computational biomechanics framework to model vascular mechanopropagation and single cell mechanosensing
The mechanical stimuli generated by body exercise can be transmitted from cortical bone into the deep bone marrow. A mechanosensitive perivascular stem cell niche is recently identified within the bone marrow for osteogenesis and lymphopoiesis. Read more
Effect of obesity on bone strength and implication on the risk of hip fracture
There is a clear and unmet need to address the diagnosis of hip fracture risk associated with osteoporosis. Whereas low weight is a well-documented risk factor for future bone fractures, a high body weight seems to protect against hip fracture. Read more
Optimisation of bone and joint cell behaviour on novel orthopaedic metal implant materials: New solutions to joint implants design, manufacture and biological testing. (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/Racey)
Testing of novel orthopaedic surfaces for-. Biocompatibility. Antimicrobial activity. Read more
Novel avenues in inflammation, vascular and bone research
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in musculoskeletal ageing and immune-mediated chronic inflammatory diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, cardiovascular disease) to join the Inflammation, Vascular and Bone team (IVB) led by Dr Helen McGettrick (https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/inflammation-ageing/mcgettrick-helen.aspx). Read more
Scaphoid fractures: Identifying the cellular targets and key molecular pathways for improved repair outcomes (NDORMS 2024/12)
This full-time DPhil post at the Botnar Institute will use cutting edge laboratory and computational methods to interrogate the mechanisms underlying failed repair following scaphoid fracture. Read more
Characterization of the morphological and nanomechanical properties of cortical bone
Musculoskeletal diseases have a huge impact in our ageing society, affecting dramatically the disability of patients suffering from them. Read more
The energetics of the osteochondral junction during non-equilibrium states of loading: beyond the surface – bone deep.
This project intends to evaluate the dynamics of articular cartilage. There are two key components. (i) evaluate energy transfer between articular cartilage and the subchondral bone in osteochondral cores. Read more
Antibacterial scaffolds
One of the common issues in orthopaedic surgery is bacterial infection of the surgical site after a surgical procedure. Read more
3D printing of drug delivery implants
Additive manufacturing (AM) encompasses a wide range of processes that create structures through deposition or binding of materials in successive layers to produce a 3D object. Read more
