Characterisation of general practices by prescribing and diagnostic test ordering behaviour using dimensionality reduction and clustering analysis
Introduction. Personality refers to an individual’s enduring characteristics and behaviours. 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
VariantCurator: A “spell-checker” for genomic variant data that will improve diagnostic rates by improving the accuracy of genetic data in clinical literature and increasing the findability of data in historic literature
Rare diseases affect <1-in-2,000 people, but ~8,000 rare genetic diseases impact ~10% of births globally. These arise from variations in patients’ DNA sequences. Read more
Advancing Diagnostic Radiology through Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning [SELF-FUNDED STUDENTS ONLY]
Research Group:
Visual Computing
Often, the efficacy of disease treatments relies heavily on the accurate interpretation of radiological imaging by medical professionals. Read more
Clinical Significance and Diagnostic Accuracy of Special Tests in Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain
Special tests are typically used to assist in the diagnostic process by implicating specific tissue structures that are either dysfunctional, pathological, or lack structural integrity, confirming the findings from the physical assessment and providing a tentative diagnosis (Magee, 2014). Read more
Autonomous Small Scale Stirring Devices to Enable Rapid Medical Diagnosis
The reliance of modern healthcare on rapid medical diagnostic devices is very clear. for example lateral flow tests are a key part of the response to Covid-19. Read more
Laser-based fabrication of medical diagnostic devices in paper
The focus of our group’s research is the development of user-friendly sensors or devices for affordable and rapid clinical diagnostic testing at the point-of-care (POC) of a patient, i.e., at their hospital bedside or in a care/nursing home, or in ambulance or at home. Read more
Modelling the Impact of Diagnostic Pathways in Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease - University of Swansea (part of Health Data Research UK’s Big Data for Complex Disease Driver Programme)
HDR UK is funding six PhDs with leading UK universities and research organisations. This brand-new programme offers the chance to carry out a doctoral research project at the leading edge of health data science. Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD studentship - Calcium signalling in In-Vitro Fertilization: developing a non-invasive diagnostic tool
Applicants should have a strong quantitative background (a degree in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science). IVF is the primary treatment of infertility with ~2.5 million treatments and ~500,000 births annually. Read more
Leveraging novel automated diagnostic pathways with augmented precision medicine approaches for the early detection and risk stratification of liver disease
Liver disease represents one of the fastest-growing causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. The principle aetiological variants are contained within the new nomenclature of steatotic liver disease (SLD). Read more
FIND-BACT Study: Finding INnovative Diagnostics for BACTerial infections in children
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
Detecting bacterial infection in children is very challenging, particularly in previously well children presenting to the Emergency department (ED) with fever as well as in children with chronic illnesses, such as those with cystic fibrosis (CF). Read more
Neuropeptide regulation of gastric motility as a comorbidity and diagnostic for endometriosis and pancreatic cancer
Commercial partner: Hertility health. Neuropeptides are synthesized by neurons in the brain where they function as neurotransmitters influencing psychological activity or are released into the circulation where they act as a neurohormones to regulate numerous physiological processes. Read more
Hunting for injured nerves: Discovering diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers for painful nerve injury using targeted binding domain libraries from the shark immune system
Commercial partner: Elasmogen Limited. Chronic pain as a result of nerve damage or disease – known as neuropathic pain - affects as many as 7-10% of the population in the UK in their lifetime. 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
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
