Cardiovascular and respiratory reflex activation during exposure to hypoglycaemia: assessing the role of the carotid body
A fall in blood glucose (hypoglycemia) activates multiple protective cardiovascular and respiratory reflexes to preserve glucose delivery to the brain. Read more
Cardiovascular and Neuromuscular Functions around the Clock: Harnessing Protective Endogenous Mechanisms towards Smarter Design of Novel Therapies and Interventions
Optimal tissue and organ is essential for long-term health and quality of life. One such important regulator within the body is related to circadian rhythms, which control ~24h cycles in many physiological processes such as sleep/wake cycles, physical activity/rest cycles, drug metabolism and hormones. Read more
Investigation of the critical roles of platelets at the interface between thrombosis and inflammation in order to develop improved therapeutic strategies for the treatment and/or prevention of cardiovascular/inflammatory diseases
Platelets (small circulating blood cells) are involved in blood clotting to prevent excessive bleeding, however, their inappropriate activation under pathological conditions leads to thrombosis resulting in major cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Read more
Exercise physiology in the detection of high blood pressure
About the research project. High blood pressure (BP) is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death. More than 1.1 billion adults worldwide have high BP, with many cases either inadequately controlled or not diagnosed. Read more
Molecular mechanisms of the increase in maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) with regular exercise
Research Group:
PENRG - Physiology Exercise and Nutrition Research Group
Performing regular exercise is crucial for good health and wellbeing, whereas failing to perform sufficient exercise increases the risk of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, etc. Read more

The role of the sympathetic nervous system in the development of cardiac fibrosis in hypertension: is neuropeptide Y the answer?
Hypertension (high blood pressure) affects ~25% of the UK adult population. It is the leading non-communicable cause of death world-wide. 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
Transforming Lives PhD Scholarship, Sheffield Hallam University - Developing an exercise-based lifestyle intervention for people with the rare genetic condition, vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
Applications are invited for a Transforming Lives PhD Scholarship in Health and Social Care commencing, 01 February 2025. The scholarship is for three and a half years full-time study and covers home PhD fees, currently £4,786. Read more
Sciences Research Opportunities at the University of East Anglia
UEA is a top tier, research-led university committed to making a substantial impact on global challenges facing society for over 50 years. Read more
Enabling continuous, personalised stress quantification and management with a wearable system
Project Description. Nine in ten adults in the UK suffer from high or extreme stress in 2023. Stress-related disorders and burnout cost the UK economy more than £28 billion, 23 million sick days, and 165,000 bed days for the National Health Service (NHS) per year [1]. Read more
Neurovascular transmission in carotid arteries (FOUNTAINS_U25BHF)
Primary supervisor - Prof Samuel Fountain. Carotid arteries perfuse the head and neck, supplying the brain and eyes through the internal carotid artery, and extra-cranial tissue through the external carotid artery. Read more
Deciphering the landscape of nucleoporin and lamin function in nucleocytoplasmic communication, nuclear scaffolding and transcriptional control in disease prevention
The nucleus has an instrumental role in cellular responses by coordinating shuttling of components in and out of the nucleus and gene expression with genome architecture and stability. Read more

Nitrate supplementation in pregnancy: maternal, fetal and offspring outcomes
Maternal diet has a significant impact on fetal growth and development, as well as pregnancy outcomes and long-term offspring health. Dietary patterns… Read more
Platelet-cell interactions: Platelets beyond thrombosis and haemostasis
Platelets play a key role in the prevention of bleeding following blood vessel damage. In addition to this important role, platelets also impact the… Read more
