Award details You are what your mother eats? Influence of maternal diet on brain development and behaviour. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2023/24 Entry, PhD in Medical Studies
Summary. This project seeks to understand how a mother’s diet impacts the baby’s brain development, including how neural circuits form and function. Read more
Neuroinflammation, glial cell dysfunction & neurodegenerative diseases
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, are often associated with chronic neuroinflammation and glial cell dysfunction that acts to exacerbate neuronal damage and loss of synapses. Read more
Mechanobiology of neurogenesis and synapse formation in the brain.
Neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism or schizophrenia, can be associated with an imbalance between inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmission in key brain regions. Read more
Structural plasticity and regeneration in the Drosophila brain
Does the brain change as we go through life and does this depend on our experiences? What is the impact in the brain of stimulation, activity, exercise… Read more
Neuronal mechanisms of circadian timekeeping in the diurnal brain
The importance of circadian rhythms in our physiology and behaviour, such as our sleep-wake cycle, feeding schedule, hormone production, etc, to maintain health and wellbeing is well established. Read more
Genetic and biochemical evaluation of a Gaucher disease patient utilising induced pluripotent stem cell (IPSC) technologies
We are looking for a talented and motivated recent graduate in Neuroscience, Biosciences or related discipline to engage in an exciting new project at Manchester Metropolitan University in collaboration with the Inherited Metabolic Diseases clinical team at the . Read more
Combined in vitro and in silico molecular analysis of CHD8 gene-mediated risk for ASD
Aim. To understand the molecular mechanisms by which mutation of the CHD8 gene increases risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Background. Read more
MSc BY RESEARCH PROJECT FOR SELF-FUNDING STUDENT: Evaluation of novel genetically encoded fluorescent indicators of G-protein coupled receptor signalling
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) are the key group of molecular targets for the modern pharmacology of central nervous system. Moreover, many key biological processes in health and disease have been linked to signalling, mediated by GPCR. Read more
Neural Stem Cell Niche Interactions in Mitochondrial Disease
Mitochondrial diseases are caused by defects in genes required for energy production and oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos). We find it intriguing that some patients with mitochondrial disease present late in life, with very tissue-specific phenotypes. Read more
