Born Slippy: Understanding the tribological mechanisms of fertility treatments and their impact on conception
Infertility affects 186M women in the developed world, with approximately 55M attributed to tubal patency - this is a big problem! Hysterosalpingography or HSG is a diagnostic procedure that is also an effective treatment for tubal problems. Read more
Calcium signalling in In-Vitro Fertilization: developing a non-invasive diagnostic tool using mathematical modelling and data analysis
IVF is the primary treatment of infertility with ~2.5 million treatments and ~500,000 births annually. The success rate has been ~25% for many decades but it has been decreasing while the IVF industry is projected to grow to 37.7 billion (USD) by 2027 with an ~10% annual growth rate. Read more

The epigenomic, transcriptional and diagnostic architecture of neurodevelopmental disorders caused by exposure to maternal infection
A fundamental unknown in understanding mechanisms of disease, and therefore improving therapy, is how stressors experienced during critical developmental periods influence the genesis or ‘programming’ of adult disease (Estes & McAllister 2016). Read more
Improving diagnostic processes and therapeutic strategies in acute care
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for clinically informed and clinically-based research using health data, studying as a PhD student affiliated with PIONEER, the Health Data Research Hub in acute care. Read more
Utilising administrative data to inform FIT-guided suspected colorectal cancer referrals of symptomatic patients
Commercial partner: Alpha Laboratories Ltd. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. In the UK, around 43,000 new CRC cases are recorded annually, and its comparatively high incidence and mortality represent a considerable public health burden. Read more
