Investigating the mechanisms for cardiac fibrosis development and reversal
Research interests/description of main research theme. Fibrosis is a hard to treat condition of major socioeconomic importance, with ~45% of all deaths in the developed world being attributed to some type of chronic fibro-proliferative disease and is exemplified by heart disease. Read more
Cardiac Harmony: Modelling Heart Beats with Stem Cells and Code
Despite significant advancements in cardiac research, heart disease remains a leading cause of mortality globally. Unexpected cardiac events can occur even in young, fit individuals engaged in routine activities. Read more
Cardiac and skeletal muscle progenitor cells - driving regeneration ability by tryptophan metabolites
The School of Biomedical Sciences invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2024/25. Read more
Investigating abnormal calcium release as a cause of sudden cardiac death in inherited heart disease
Sudden cardiac death resulting from disturbances in heart rhythm is a major cause of death globally. Read more
Unravelling the mechanisms of cardiac myosin function in health and disease through molecular dynamic simulation and electron microscopy
Unravelling the mechanisms of cardiac myosin function in health and disease through molecular dynamic simulation and electron microscopy. Read more

Exploring the links between cardiac arrhythmias and mitochondrial dysfunction
Mitochondria play a central role in the maintenance of homeostasis in cardiomyocytes by regulating several key processes, (e.g. cellular energetics, metabolism, and cell death). Read more
Reduction of cardiac complexity as a general marker of disease
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
Evaluation of human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac myocytes for cardiotoxicity testing
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Evaluation of human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac myocytes (hiPSC-CMs) for cardiotoxicity testing Potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias such as Torsades des Pointes (TdP) are linked to adverse side-effects of drugs intended as potential treatments for a variety of clinical disorders. Read more
A pilot randomized controlled trial of semaglutide in people living with multiple long-term and stage B heart failure
Summary. Heart failure costs the NHS an estimated £2 billion annually, which constitutes about 2% of the total NHS budget. Read more
Cardiac and Lung Digtial Twins - Modelling Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
PhD Studentship in Heart and Lung Cardiac Digital Twins. Applications are invited to apply for this PhD studentship starting on 1 October 2025 from candidates with a Master’s degree (Merit and above) in Bioengineering or a related discipline. Read more
Exploring the therapeutic potential of calmodulin in the context of inherited cardiac arrhythmia
We are looking for a highly motivated student to work with us on an exciting 3-year British Heart Foundation (BHF)-funded project to explore the therapeutic potential of calmodulin in the context of inherited cardiac arrhythmia. Read more
Arm-based Wearable Sensing Techniques for Diagnostic Methods in Long-term Monitoring of ECG and ICG of Heart Failure and Atrial Fibrillation.
Research Group:
Engineering
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) are often manifest as coexistent conditions increasingly recognised as global cardiovascular epidemics over the last decade and expected to increase in prevalence over the coming years. Read more
Mechanisms of extracellular vesicles derived from human pluripotent stem cells and their cardiac lineage cells for cardiac repair and enhancement of efficacy
The rising mortality rate of myocardial infarction is due to extensive cell death and remodeling post-infarction. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) offer repair potential, but transplanted hPSC-derived cardiovascular progenitor cells (hCVPCs) struggle with long-term survival, despite showing cardioprotective effects. Read more
Cardiac and Lung Digtial Twins - Modelling Valve Disease
PhD Studentship in Heart and Lung Cardiac Digital Twins. Applications are invited to apply for this PhD studentship starting on 1 October 2025 from candidates with a Master’s degree (Merit and above) in Bioengineering or a related discipline. Read more
