A clinical study of the impact of seizures and epilepsy surgery on pattern separation memory that combines computational modeling, histopathology, and behavioural analyses.
Our ability to remember ‘where I put my car keys today’ as opposed to ‘where I put them yesterday’ depends on a computational process known as pattern separation. Read more
The role of the enzyme aconitase in epilepsy
Epilepsy affects around an estimated 50 million people globally. It is the most common neurological disease; affecting people of all ages and walk of life. Read more
Brain on “FIRE” – investigating the role of microglia in epilepsy
Applications are invited for a three-year Postgraduate studentship, supported by Aston University’s Institute of Health and Neuroscience and Birmingham City Hospital, to be undertaken at Aston University. . Read more
The breakdown of neurovascular coupling in the diseased state specifically Epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease
Epilepsy is the most common neurological condition in the UK, affecting 1 – 2 % of the population. Epilepsies often involve only a small area of the brain - the epileptic focus – and the abnormal activity can propagate out from there. Read more

Combined EEG/MEG using optically pumped magnetometers
Project proposal. Magnetoencephalography using optically pumped magnetometers (OPM-MEG) is a fundamentally new technique for non-invasive assessment of human brain function. Read more
Last chance to apply
(EPSRC DTP) Investigating brain plasticity in response to brain tumours using simultaneous synaptic PET and advanced MR imaging
This project is suited for a student with a background in Physics or Engineering wishing to apply their quantitative skills to improve the understanding of the diseased brain. Read more
Decoding Speech using Invasive Brain-Computer Interfaces
For individuals who have impaired speech or complete loss of speech as a result of neurodegenerative diseases such as motor neurone disease (MND) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), there is an urgent need to develop revolutionary technologies using the latest advances in automatic speech recognition (ASR) and brain signal processing (BSP).

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
PhD in Women's Health Reseacrh
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in Women’s Health led by Shakila Thangaratinam (Professor Shakila Thangaratinam - Institute of Metabolism and Systems Research - University of Birmingham). Read more
Using Blind Source Separation to extract biomedical signals from the brain and heart
Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is a form of Blind Source Separation (BSS), where multiple recordings of electromagnetic activity from the body are analysed to extract meaningful information to affect a diagnosis or prognosis or to understand the underlying physiology fundamentally. Read more
Developing exosome-based therapies for the treatment of traumatic brain injury
Globally, traumatic brain injury affects 69 million individuals and causes 8.1 million years of life lived in disability each year. Read more
Modelling non-standard longitudinal outcomes using fast Bayesian inference.
Repeated observations over time on individual patients allows the opportunity to analyse factors that influence the changes over time in a variable of interest. Read more
Ion channel signalling in cancer cells
Our cells constantly sense and transport ions present in their environment. From embryonic development to epilepsy to heart disease to cancer, our cells’ ability to respond to changes in the ionic microenvironment is essential for healthy ageing. Read more
Modulation of neuronal circuits using non-invasive ultrasound stimulation
The research project is based on recent functional studies that conclusively demonstrated the capacity of transcranial low-intensity ultrasound stimulation to reversibly activate or suppress neural activity with high spatial specificity in vivo. Read more
Self-funded research projects in the College of Health & Life Sciences
