GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project: Bridging the gap: combining epigenetics and neuroimaging to shed new light on brain development and mental health in a population-based context
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
Epigenetics and Cancer: Determining how Mistakes in V(D)J Recombination Trigger Leukaemias and Lymphomas
V(D)J recombination is essential to produce an effective adaptive immune system but since the reaction involves breakage and rejoining of DNA, it is highly dangerous and errors have long been thought to lead to leukaemias and lymphomas. Read more
mRNA epigenetics: Charaterization of a novel layer of gene regulation for essential brain functions
For over 40 years we know about modified nucleotides in mRNA, but the functions for these essential modifications are largely elusive. Read more

Deciphering a novel anti-ageing epigenetic programme
Over two decades of intense research in the field of epigenetics have produced compelling evidence that chromatin modifications are crucial for processes such as DNA repair, transcription, splicing, mitosis, meiosis, and in the preservation of the epigenetic memory of cells. Read more
Epigenetic regulation in heart failure and cardiac sudden death
A large proportion of heart failure patients die from cardiac sudden death (SCD), a direct result of lethal ventricular arrhythmias, which is the principal cause of mortality from heart disease worldwide and remains a major unresolved public health problem. Read more
Epigenetic control of transcription factor regulation of adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus
In the adult brain, new neurons are continuously generated in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). This neurogenesis process is highly regulated and consists of cell proliferation, neuronal differentiation, neuronal maturation and survival. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Shaping Plant Stress Memories
Although plants lack a cellular immune system and central nervous system, they can retain memory of previously encountered stresses, which improves their ability to resist recurrent episodes of the same stress. Read more
Resorbable antibacterial coatings for orthopaedic implants (NDORMS 2024/15)
Bacterial infections associated with orthopaedic implants are complex to treat and can result in severe complications for patients. Read more
Psychometric sensitivity analyses for clinical trials and observational studies that use patient-reported outcome measures (NDORMS 2024/7)
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are questionnaires used to assess various aspects of a person's health. They have become a common tool for measuring outcomes in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies. Read more
Sex differences and the interplay of androgens and oestrogens in the modulation of human immune responses. (NDORMS 2024/6)
The immunological response to foreign antigens is distinct in men and women, as was so clearly demonstrated during the recent Covid-19 pandemic. Read more
Elucidating T cell phenotype and function in frozen shoulder (NDORMS 2024/5)
Frozen shoulder is a disabling condition affecting 10% of the working population. Disease causes significant pain and immobility of the shoulder joint, reducing life quality of affected patients. Read more
Identify new drug targets for treating OA by inducing autophagy (NDORMS 2024/1)
Drugs targeting biological drivers of aging face unique translational challenges. Read more
