diagnosis PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 141 diagnosis PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Developing a clinical pathway to support nurse led whole genome sequencing for neurological diseases
In this project we will develop pathways to enable specialist nurses to request whole genome sequencing (WGS) for adult neurology patients throughout the NHS; improving the efficiency of the process, freeing consultant neurologist time and improving equity of access. Read more
Engineering AI and deep learning approaches for digital pathology and bioimaging
An exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and multidisciplinary group at the School of Cancer and Pharmaceutical Sciences. You will develop new computational pathology approaches to improve cancer patient treatment and diagnosis. Read more
MSc By Research: Exploring how the immune microenvironment contributes to outcome in male breast cancer
The MSc by Research programme at the University of Aberdeen is for students interested in a research-intensive master's degree. It is designed specifically to enhance your skills for a PhD or research career. Read more
Understanding the link between EBV and Multiple Sclerosis
An opportunity exists for a PhD position in molecular immunology, where cutting-edge technologies will be applied to understand the molecular basis of the link between EBV and Multiple Sclerosis. Read more
Network-based predictive modelling of cardiovascular disease risk
The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is orchestrated by multiple factors. QRISK models (currently QRISK3) have been used in the UK to estimate CVD risk within the next 10 years for individuals without CVD. Read more
Cancer biology: identification of new treatment options for EML4-ALK driven lung cancer through understanding mechanisms of cell division and migration.
Lung cancer is the largest cause of cancer-related deaths in the UK and worldwide. While little progress has been made in long-term survival rates, we now have a good understanding of the genetic drivers raising the prospect of earlier diagnosis and more effective treatments. Read more
Genetics: Investigating the molecular basis of optic nerve degeneration in glaucoma to try and develop a personalized medicine strategy for treatment
The optic nerve is a special sensory nerve that transmits visual impulses from the retina to the brain. Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) is a chronic, progressive optic neuropathy of multifactorial origin that affects 1 in 10 elderly individuals. Read more
Genetics: Genetic studies of developmental eye disorders to investigate genotype-phenotype correlations
Developmental eye defects that affect the front of the eye give rise to a spectrum of congenital ocular phenotypes that affect the cornea, lens, iris, trabecular meshwork or the globe itself. Read more
PHD ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING
The Electrical and Electronic Engineering PhD degree programme develops your understanding of the research process and your ability to analyse and contribute to a particular research area. Read more
Microwave Sensing for Cerebral Perfusion Monitoring in Intensive Care Units (MS-SCAN)
Monitoring brain health in the intensive care unit (ICU) is crucial for the care of critically ill patients, especially those at risk of neurological complications. Read more
Characterising the role of inflammation in the development of multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable blood cancer, caused by the proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow. The link between chronic inflammation and the development of MM requires further investigation. Read more
Investigating the role of the microbiome in obesity-driven colorectal cancer development
Alarmingly, the incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) is increasing rapidly in the UK. This rise may be, in part, attributable to obesity but exactly how obesity might impact CRC is largely unknown. Read more
Identifying the molecular interactions that drive mucosal responses to the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus
Spores of the mould Aspergillus fumigatus cause >3,000,000 chronic and >300,000 invasive diseases annually worldwide. Invasive aspergillosis is the most fatal, with a 50% mortality rate. Read more
AI for Advanced Diagnostic Imaging in Maxillofacial Trauma
Background: . Diagnostic imaging in maxillofacial trauma has evolved from reliance on traditional X-rays and CT scans to more advanced techniques like cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Read more
