Diet and Neuroinflammation: A link between Metabolic Health and Parkinson’s Disease?
Diet and Neuroinflammation. A link between Metabolic Health and Parkinson’s Disease?. An opportunity to apply for a funded full-time PhD in the College of Health, Science and Society, UWE Bristol. Read more
The impact of gut microbiome and diet interplay on neurodegeneration
Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or Huntington’s disease represent major health risks of ageing societies. Read more
Defining the physiological role and regulation of biological methylations
The regulation of gene expression and function operates at multiple levels. Metabolic pathways in the cell generate metabolites that directly affect DNA, RNA and proteins, regulating the expression and function of many genes, often feeding back on the very enzymes that catalysed their synthesis.

Designing Technology for Personalised Nutrition
This PhD investigates the design of technology to provide personalised nutrition advice. Non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease are major challenges globally, and can be addressed, in part, by eating a healthier diet. Read more
Nutritional support along the gut:lung:brain axis – targeting the human microbiome in Long-COVID.
As the COVID-19 pandemic recedes, it has left in its wake a toxic legacy of chronic disease in millions of people world-wide. Termed “Long-COVID”, symptoms include debilitating fatigue, cognitive impairment, pain, respiratory and cardiovascular issues. Read more
Like two peas in a pod: Hormonal signals in legume reproductive development
This project is part of the DPhil in Biology at the University of Oxford. Seeds and pods communicate to coordinate reproductive development from fertilisation to seed maturation. Read more
From personality to prey: understanding movement of migratory shorebirds during the non-breeding period
We are seeking a PhD candidate with a strong interest in connecting fundamental science to real-world conservation outputs to identify the drivers of movement in shorebirds within the non-breeding season. Read more
