This project provides an annual stipend of £19,237. . Project advert. Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project: Identification of ion channel dysfunction in epilepsy with machine learning
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 21 studentships for entry in September 2025. Read more
Identification of Novel Mechanisms Supporting Axon Survival and Investigation of their Therapeutic Potential
Programmed axon death is a widespread and completely preventable mechanism in injury and disease (Coleman and Hoke, Nat Rev Neurosci, 2020). Read more
Cancer Neuroscience: Investigating the impact of non-CNS tumours on neuronal plasticity in the brain
To apply, please contact Dr Graham Sheridan at Graham.Sheridan@nottingham.ac.uk. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, resulting in approximately 18 million new cases and 10 million deaths each year. Read more
Investigating Epilepsy Molecular Mechanisms in Patient-Specific Stem Cell Models of SLC6A1 Deficiency
SLC6A1 encodes GAT-1, a voltage-dependent gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter that is responsible for the reuptake of GABA from the synapse. Read more
Mechanisms underlying the effects of activated protein C (APC) in cardiac muscle
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
APC is an anticoagulant enzyme that also exerts antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic and a variety of other cytoprotective effects in different tissues, where the mechanism of action is thought to involve the endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) and a protease activated receptor (PAR).

Investigating the link between chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease.
Research interests/description of main research theme. Patients with chronic kidney disease are 40% more likely to develop cardiovascular disease, however, mechanisms driving the cardiovascular pathogenesis are unclear. Read more
Investigating the interactions of incretin hormone mimetics with hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system arginine vasopressin and oxytocin release
Our research focus over decades has been the osmoregulatory function of a special collection of neurones in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. Read more
Genetics: Investigating the functional effect of novel genes and genetic variants in malignant hyperthermia susceptibility using model systems
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is an inherited condition, where patients exposed to anaesthetic drugs are susceptible to a dramatic hyperthermic and hypermetabolic response that can contribute to a significant proportion of post-operative morbidity and deaths. Read more
Assessing the Impact of Aggregation-Prone Proteins on the Mitochondrial-Metallome Interplay in a Novel 3D Spheroid Cholinergic Cell Model of Neurodegenerative Disease
Although showing diverse symptoms affecting cognition and movement, the brains of patients with neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) display similar neuropathological features namely protein aggregation within the brain. Read more
Molecular mechanisms of brain plasticity, degeneration and regeneration
The aim of the project is to discover and test candidate molecular mechanisms underlying structural brain plasticity, degeneration and regeneration. Read more
