Investigation of cortical function by large-scale electrophysiology and computational modelling
A fundamental question in sensory neuroscience is what information sensory neurons convey during natural behaviour (‘sensory coding’). Read more

Generating a computational model of dopaminergic networks and exploring the selective vulnerability of different neurons within this circuit to protein aggregates
This project is available through the MIBTP programme. The successful applicant will join the MIBTP cohort and will take part in all of the training offered by the programme. Read more
Mechanistic understanding of cancer drug induced cardiotoxicity using patient derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived cardiomyocytes
Background. Cardiovascular disease is the number one non-cancer cause of death in cancer survivors, attributable to side-effects of cancer medications routinely given to patients. Read more
Understanding why cardiovascular dysfunction is one of the leading causes of mortality in patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver disease (NAFLD)
Background. Liver disease accounts for 3.5% of all global deaths/year (~2 million people) and is the third leading cause of premature death in the UK with some of the highest hospitalisations in the country seen in areas of socioeconomic deprivation. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: The molecular mechanisms of transcranial ultrasound neuromodulation as a novel therapeutic intervention in neurological disorders
Neural activity follows repetitive, rhythmic patterns, caused by oscillations in membrane potentials or synchronised action potential firing. Read more
Preferential Gq signalling in diabetes: an electrical switch in incretin action and in diabetes progression?
The progression of type 2 diabetes (T2D) involves development of insulin resistance that is frequently associated with obesity and that is initially compensated by increased insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. Read more
Adverse myocardial remodelling in cardiac fibrosis and atrial fibrillation
Our main focus is to understand the mechanisms of two major often linked heart conditions cardiac fibrosis and atrial fibrillation. Read more
Understanding the neuronal substrate of flexible visual processing in everyday life
Visual processing has mostly been studied in static conditions in which subjects (humans or animal models) do not move. Read more
Neuroinflammation, glial cell dysfunction & neurodegenerative diseases
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, are often associated with chronic neuroinflammation and glial cell dysfunction that acts to exacerbate neuronal damage and loss of synapses. Read more

Synaptic dysfunction in Drosophila models of neurodegenerative diseases
Almost a million of people in the UK suffer from neurodegenerative disorders. Alzheimer’s disease (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are the most common causes of neurodegenerative dementias. Read more
Using machine learning to characterize the impact of hearing loss on neural coding

PhD Studentship - A multi-model approach to investigate the role of early neuroinflammation in dementia with Lewy bodies
Overview. Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a common form of dementia caused by the abnormal folding and aggregation of the synaptic protein alpha-synuclein. Read more
