The role of modified microRNAs in fibrosis during ageing

University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease

Dr K Whysall, Prof G Bou-Gharios

Application Deadline: 22 November 2019

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of multiple mRNAs posttranscriptionally (Brown & Goljanek-Whysall, Aging Res Rev 2015).

(A*STAR) Elucidation of molecular footprints of kidney fibrosis through integrative ‘omics’-based analysis

University of Manchester
Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Prof M Tomaszewski, Dr A Adamson, Prof A Woolf

Application Deadline: 31 January 2019

The fibrosis is a common pathway of structural damage in many kidney diseases. It is usually diagnosed when patients present with an irreversible drop in glomerular filtration rate.

Molecular mechanisms controlling cardiac fibroblast proliferation during cardiac fibrosis

University of Bristol
Faculty of Health Sciences

Dr M Bond

Applications accepted all year round

Applicants are invited for a new self-funded PhD studentship to study the molecular mechanisms of cardiac fibrosis. Myocardial fibrosis is a significant global health problem associated with nearly all forms of heart disease.

Myocardial biology with a specific focus on the mechanisms underlying cardiac fibrosis and atrial fibrillation

University of Oxford
Radcliffe Department of Medicine

Dr S Reilly, Assoc Prof M Lei

Application Deadline: 26 July 2019

(BBSCR DTP) Design of allosteric small molecule probes of fibrosis using molecular dynamics simulations

University of Manchester
Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Dr R A Bryce, Dr K Piper Hanley, Dr R Whitehead

Application Deadline: 31 January 2019

Integrins are a family of protein receptors that play a major role in cell survival, growth and migration. Their function is to transmit signals across the cell membrane by undergoing an elegant large scale structural rearrangement.

Non-invasive imaging of the pathophysiology of early systemic sclerosis; fibrosis and oxygenation

University of Manchester
Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Dr A Murray, Prof G Parker, Prof A Herrick, Dr M Dickinson

Applications accepted all year round

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a microvascular autoimmune disease that causes lack of blood flow and scarring and thickening of skin and tissues within internal organs.

Translational Lung Immunology: Studying the contribution of the immune system to lung injury, repair and fibrosis

University of Oxford
Radcliffe Department of Medicine

Dr L Ho, Dr L Denny

Application Deadline: 26 July 2019
