  Role of Leptin in intervertebral disc degeneration
Sheffield Hallam University Biomolecular Sciences Research Centre
  Prof C Le Maitre, Dr N Aberdein
Applications accepted all year round
Back pain is a major cause of morbidity worldwide and the incidence and severity of back pain increases with age. Approximately 40% of all back pain cases are caused by disease in the joints in the spine, known as the intervertebral discs.

  Psychological intervention, cognitive training, functional rehabilitation and well-being in clinical populations with brain degeneration
University of Reading School of Psychology & Clinical Language Sciences
  Dr A Ho
Applications accepted all year round
The concept of human well-being is a fundamental aspect of our existence and is often particularly vulnerable upon diagnosis and/or progression of long-term neurological conditions for which there is no cure, such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s disease.
