The Association Between Intestinal Fibrosis and Dysregulation in the Systemic and Intestinal Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System in Dogs with Chronic Enteropathy
Background, aims and objectives. Canine chronic enteropathy (CE) is a debilitating disease with unknown cause and variable response to treatment. Read more
ITCH-CF: Investigating The Cardiovascular Health of people living with Cystic Fibrosis in the CFTR modulator era
As life-expectancy improves for people living with cystic fibrosis (pwCF), new challenges in optimally managing an older, co-morbid population are likely to arise. Read more
Understanding the role of the immune system in progression of fibrosis
The pathogenic mechanism of pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is still not well understood. Initially believed to be a side effect of dysregulated inflammatory processes as the main driver, data now appears not to support this. Read more
3-year PhD studentship: 3D printing in vitro models to understand the impact of the bacterial biofilm/host environment on the effectiveness of antimicrobials in cystic fibrosis - (ENG 1624)
Supervisors. Professor Miguel Camara (School of Life Sciences), Professor Ricky Wildman (Faculty of Engineering), Professor Felicity Rose (School of Pharmacy) and Dr Helen Barr (Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust). Read more
Advanced magnetic resonance imaging methods for imaging the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and specifically functional MRI using hyperpolarised xenon-129 (129Xe-MRI), is a powerful imaging technique that provides detailed and sensitive information about lung diseases such as Cystic fibrosis (CF). Read more
Genetic predisposition to accelerated ageing: targeting telomeres using sex hormone supplementation in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2024/25 Entry, PhD in Genetics and Genomics
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
Realistic simulation of aerosolised drug deposition in the lungs of people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) based on pulmonary magnetic resonance imaging
We are looking for an exceptional student to join this exciting and innovative multi-centre interdisciplinary project funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Read more
PhD in Infection, Immunity, Antimicrobial Resistance & Repair - Investigating long noncoding RNAs as novel therapies in chronic kidney disease
SUMMARY. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 15% of the global population and is associated with significant multimorbidity and high mortality, but has no cure. Read more
Development of Nanomaterials for Targeting the Bacteria–Host Interface in Cystic Fibrosis Airways
The attachment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) to the airway mucus in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) represents an important step in airway colonization and the subsequent development of lung infection. Read more
Development of deep learning methods and software to infer pathway enrichment from histology images - application to liver fibrosis
Histopathological images are routinely used to characterize complex phenotypes. For example, pathologists regularly study stained images of tissue biopsies for cancer diagnosis as cancer is known to change the morphological features of cells including cell shape and size [1]. Read more
Investigating innate immune dysfunction across inflammatory and fibrotic pulmonary disease
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in acute or chronic pulmonary diseases (e.g. Pneumonia, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Interstitial Lung Diseases) to join Dr Rahul Mahida’s team in the Institute of Inflammation and Ageing at the University of Birmingham (. Read more
Identification and modification of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying unsuccessful knee replacements for osteoarthritis (NDORMS 2024/11)
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting 5.4 million people in the UK. It is characterised by loss of cartilage and inflammation and fibrosis of the synovial tissue that surrounds the joint. Read more
Refractory properties of myocardial borderzone in the human ventricle
Sudden cardiac death is the mechanism of death in more than 50% of cardiovascular related deaths and is frequently due to ventricular arrhythmias (VA).1 The most common mechanism underlying VA is reentry, whereby one or more self-sustaining wavefronts of electrical activation result in extreme tachycardias associated with cardiac arrest. Read more
Understanding why cardiovascular complications are the number one cause of death in patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease
Background. End-stage Kidney failure, also known as End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD), is the final, irreversible stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD), where kidney function has worsened to the point that the kidneys can no longer function independently. Read more
Clinical: Gastroesophageal reflux in respiratory disease: pathogenic role and improved management
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which stomach contents, such as food and acid pass into the gullet/oesophagus causing heartburn. GERD is very common in patients with lung disease, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF). Read more
