Statistical inference of cell type specific epigenetic profiles for the molecular epidemiology of brain disorders. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2023/24 Entry, PhD in Medical Studies
Summary. Genetic risk factors for brain disorders can have substantial impacts on the regulation of gene activity, but we only have a limited understanding of how this manifests across the different cell types of the brain. Read more
PhD Studentship in Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences
Project Title. Untangling neurodegeneration and ageing components of neuroinflammatory disorders. Summary. Numerous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) show a strong, but poorly understood neuroinflammatory component to most neurological diseases. Read more
Conservation genetics in the critically endangered Bermuda Skink (Plestiodon longirostris)
The Bermuda skink(Plestiodon longirostris) is the only endemic reptile in the Bermuda archipelago and is listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List. Read more
Metabolomics approaches to understanding the excess risk of cardiovascular disease in rheumatoid arthritis
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major comorbidity and leading cause of death in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (1). Traditional CVD risk factors (e.g. Read more
PhD Studentship in Infection and Immunity - Tracking the genetic link between neurodevelopmental conditions, inflammation and kidney disease
Project Title. Tracking the genetic link between neurodevelopmental conditions, inflammation and kidney disease. Summary. Population studies have identified genetic traits linked with neurodevelopmental disorders. Read more

PhD Studentship in Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences - Investigating novel types of childhood irritability (emotional dysregulation) using a developmental and genetic approach
Project Title. Investigating novel types of childhood irritability (emotional dysregulation) using a developmental and genetic approach. Read more
Exploring evolutionary change through genomic sequencing of museum specimens
Next-generation sequencing has made it possible to sequence the genomes of museum specimens dating back several hundred years. In this project you will generate genomic data from museum specimens of birds, principally great tits. Read more
Integrative analysis of whole genomes and transcriptomes from multiple cell types in rare disease patients. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2023/24 Entry-PhD in Medical Sciences
Summary. The use of Whole-Genome Sequencing has increased the diagnostic yield for rare diseases. However, even WGS fails to identify the genetic cause in about 50% of patients. Read more
Imaging-based analysis of signaling pathways triggered by immune checkpoint receptors
Commercial partner. MiroBio Ltd / Gilead Sciences. , Oxford. Adverse immunological reactions to self and foreign antigens and other situations of abnormal lymphocyte growth are the cause of autoimmune disease, hypersensitivity and asthma, and also lymphoid cancer and transplant rejection. Read more
Intergenerational transmission of self-harm thoughts and behaviors
This interdisciplinary PhD project will provide training in epidemiology, genetics, and advanced longitudinal methods. Read more
Using ex-vivo genetic systems as models to detect genetic susceptibility to co-morbidities in Covid 19 infection, and to test specific anti-inflammatory / antiviral drugs in Covid 19 infection
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Research has shown that certain individuals are more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2. Approximately, 20–51% of COVID-19 patients presented with a least one co-morbidity on admission, with diabetes (10–20%) hypertension (10–15%) and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (7–40%) being most prevalent.

Using genetics to understand the links between preterm birth and lung disease in childhood MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2023/24 Entry - PhD in Medical Sciences
Summary. Babies who are born prematurely are more likely to develop lung disease, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Read more
Linking neuronal function to mental health: How genetic risk factors impair cognitive flexibility and neural plasticity in psychiatric disorders.
Summary. Genetic risk factors for psychiatric disorders are clustered around genes that regulate synaptic function and adaptation, indicating common disrupted biological processes. Read more
Identifying genetic mechanisms of neuronal regeneration using planaria
Neuronal injury or disease in humans often leads to disability and mortality. Neurons in humans regenerate poorly, and there are very few methods to encourage this regeneration. Read more
