We have 52 circadian PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Clock-watchER: Circadian coordination of the plant endoplasmic reticulum

The rotation of the Earth creates periodic day-night changes in environmental conditions such as light and temperature. Organisms are able to adapt to these predictable diurnal cycles through their internal timekeeping system, the circadian clock, which has a periodicity of approximately 24 hours. Read more

NERC E4 It’s about time! Ecology and evolution of circadian and seasonal rhythms in host-parasite interactions

  Research Group: Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Summary. In adverse circumstances – such as infections and resource limitation - daily rhythms are often disrupted. The project will investigate to what degree this an adaptive (fitness maximising) strategy. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Cardiovascular function around the clock: harnessing protective circadian mechanisms towards smarter design of novel therapies and interventions

Optimal cardiovascular function 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

The circadian clock as a regulator of information processing

Endogenous biological clocks are a ubiquitous feature of living organisms, driving rhythms in countless cellular and physiological functions, and influencing almost all biological processes. Read more

Funded PhD - Time can heal the pain: circadian mechanisms regulating nociception

Most biological processes, including pain, follow circadian (~24h) cycles. These rhythms are a combination of the response of our body to day-night cycles in the environment we live in, and endogenous mechanisms governed by so called ‘body clocks’. Read more

Funded PhD - Intermittent fasting and body clocks: the effects of time-restricted feeding on circadian rhythms

Life on Earth is subordinate to periodic alterations in the environment, with most notable changes seen from day to night. To react, anticipate, and adapt to these cyclic changes, living organisms evolved endogenous 24h timekeeping mechanisms named circadian clocks. Read more

Circadian mechanisms in psoriasis: therapeutic opportunities

Hallmark features of psoriasis symptoms vary through time, suggesting an important role for circadian circuits in driving disease expression, and offering the potential of chronotherapy. Read more

Circadian Rhythms and Ageing

About the Project. We are pleased to offer the opportunity for a self-funded PhD student to join our research team within the School of Pharmacy, University of Kent. The research aims of this project are to explore the impact of Aging on the mammalian circadian clock. Read more
