Informing transboundary disease spread with animal movement technology
This fully funded 3.5 year PhD training programme provides unique inter-disciplinary training in transboundary disease epidemiology, mathematical modelling and statistics, animal movement, and health economics. Read more
Biology and genetics of reproduction in filamentous fungi
Fungi have beneficial but also detrimental properties. They are used for the production of foodstuffs and valuable pharmaceuticals and enzymes. Read more
Employing molecular virology to investigate hepatitis E virus replication
This project is available to self funded candidates only. The Herod lab has a broad interest in virus replication, with a particular interest in studying single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses important for human and animal health. Read more
Estimating the economic impact and informing control of High Pathogenic Avian Influenza in selected European countries
There has been a major shift in the occurrence of High Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Europe in the last four years. . Read more
Controlling airborne infectious disease transmission in indoor environment
Infectious disease pandemics are brutal killers in human history. The recent COVID-19 outbreak in China has killed over 2.4K people globally, and more than 78K people are infected across 28 countries (As of 22th Feb 2020). Read more
Machine learning for tracing pathogens in the food chain
Salmonella is the most important food chain pathogen globally[1], causing infection and mortality in farmed animals and gastrointestinal infection of humans via consumption of contaminated foodstuffs. Read more
Antibacterial scaffolds
One of the common issues in orthopaedic surgery is bacterial infection of the surgical site after a surgical procedure. Read more
Mathematical modelling of transmission and worldwide distribution of neglected zoonotic diseases (Q fever)
A 3-year fully funded position is available to contribute substantially to the development of a new modelling approach for the prediction and control of zoonotic diseases (Q fever). Read more
Physical fatigue and the neural control of muscle activity in health and disease: Unravelling mechanisms and implications. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship
Applications are invited for a highly ambitious and motivated individual with interests that cross physiology, neuroscience and applied clinical sciences to join the internationally renowned School of Healthcare Sciences at Cardiff University. Read more
Mechanisms of protein quality control in health and disease
Accumulation of misfolded proteins and aberrant protein aggregates are hallmarks of a wide range of pathologies such as neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project: Single-shot diagnosis of ion channel dysfunction in neurological disease from data assimilation of cell membrane dynamics
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 20 studentships for entry in September 2024. Read more
Protein maturation, quality control, and disease
Cells are amazingly organized entities. Their resident proteins, nucleic acids, and small molecules are assembled into functional modules and organized among numerous membrane-bound cellular compartments. Read more
Effect of Alzheimer’s disease risk variants on microglial cell state transitions in response to pathology. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2024/25 Entry, PhD in Clinical and Biomedical Sciences.
About the GW4 BioMed2 Doctoral Training Partnership. The partnership brings together the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff (lead) and Exeter to develop the next generation of biomedical researchers. Read more
Exploring Disease Mechanism in Cerebral Small Vessel Disease Ultrahigh Resolution using 7T MRI
Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), is a major cause of both stroke and vascular dementia. It describes a process where the small arteries and arterioles in the brain become abnormal, and this leads to both acute and chronic ischaemic damage in the brain. Read more
Unravelling neurodevelopmental disease mechanisms of developmental delay: Additional sex combs as a model for ASXL-related disorders in the fly
Drosophila melanogaster is a fruit fly species that has been used in research for many years and are a successful model due to their superlative genetics, vast array of tools, a simple genome that is easy to alter, and the fact that 75% of human disease genes have a recognisable orthologue within flies.
