Impacts of disease (chytridiomycosis) and environmental contaminants on wildlife conservation (amphibians)
Wildlife are in peril due to numerous threatening processes. Amphibians (especially frogs) are the most endangered Class of Vertebrates. Read more
Charting new neuronal survival pathways in Parkinson’s disease
The Neurodegenerative and Lysosomal Disease Laboratory is interested in the molecular and cellular basis of neurodegenerative disease, particularly how lysosome dysfunction influences the development of Batten disease and Parkinson’s disease. Read more
Development of Naked Mole Rat Colonic Crypt Models to Use in the Search for Bowel Disease Preventatives
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Diseases affecting the bowel such as colorectal cancer (CRC) and the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are major global healthcare challenges in the 21st century. Read more
The SPICeD project - Spatial transcriptomics to understand Parenchymal-Immune interactions in Coeliac Disease
Theme Overview. The SPICeD project (Spatial transcriptomics to understand Parenchymal-Immune interactions in CoeliacDisease) is a DPhil project to discover and understand cell-cell interactions in the intestinal mucosa in coeliac disease, and their significance in the disease pathology. Read more
Understanding disease mechanisms in autoimmune inflammatory muscle disease
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are a spectrum of rare autoimmune disorders characterized by inflammation of muscle tissue (myositis), which leads to muscle weakness and fatigue, and heterogeneous systemic organ involvement. Read more
Understanding the underlying pathological mechanisms to find a cure for Batten disease
The Neurodegenerative and Lysosomal Disease Laboratory is interested in the molecular and cellular basis of neurodegenerative disease, particularly how lysosome dysfunction influences the development of Batten disease and Parkinson’s disease. Read more
Exploration of the multi-causality and multi-morbidity in patients with lifestyle related liver disease using the UK Biobank
Background. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the UK due to the obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemics. Read more
Understanding drivers of disease in the red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), a threatened UK native species
Research Group:
Edinburgh Infectious Diseases
Project offered for Ker Memorial PhD Studentship. The red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is an iconic species of notable conservation concern in the UK, having suffered a marked range contraction over the last century due to habitat loss, and competition and pathogen transmission from the introduced grey squirrel (S.

Converge: Centre for Chronic Disease and Population Health Research
BACKGROUND. The RCSI School of Population Health is looking to transform the way that population-level data and research platforms are deployed in Ireland to make key decisions for prevention and reduction of chronic disease burden. Read more
Functional dissection of disease associated genetic loci in rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common chronic inflammatory disease characterized by inflammation of the joints and has a high socioeconomic burden. Read more

Establishment and Discovery of Novel Ophthalmic Biomarkers in neurodegenerative conditions, Diabetes and Vascular Medicine
The University of Exeter’s College of Medicine and Health is inviting applications for a fully-funded PhD studentship to commence in April 2023 or as soon as thereafter. For eligible students the studentship will cover Home tuition fees plus an annual tax-free stipend of at least £17,668 for 3 years full-time, or pro rata for part-time study. Read more
A human artery model to understand integrated vascular mechanobiology and to validate therapies for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
Project Details. Queen Mary University of London, together with Novo Nordisk invite applications for a PhD studentship to develop a human artery model to validate therapies for atherosclerosis. Read more
Exploring Parkinson’s disease subtypes using data driven approaches applied to prospective cohorts
Background. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterised by a wide range of motor and non-motor features, for which there is no known cause. Read more
Clinical: Gastroesophageal reflux in respiratory disease: pathogenic role and improved management
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which stomach contents, such as food and acid pass into the gullet/oesophagus causing heartburn. GERD is very common in patients with lung disease, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF). Read more
