SELF-FUNDING MSc BY RESEARCH PROJECT: Using Zebrafish to Study Heart Disease and Tissue Regeneration
Our Main Interests and Skills. · In vivo animal models. · Live imaging and sophisticated microscopy. · Inflammation. Read more
Definition of endophenotypic features indicative of genetic variants that cause congenital heart disease, through cardiac organoid (cardioid) modelling
Recent advances in cardiac organoid modelling may yield novel approaches to generating “disease in a dish” models that will provide opportunities to dissect variant-specific mechanisms in congenital heart disease (CHD). Read more
Investigation into inflammatory drivers in congenital heart disease
Background. Birth defects are complex developmental phenotypes affecting ~6% of births worldwide. Congenital heart disease (CHD), accounting for 1/6th of these defects is still not fully understood, with the role of inflammation and the contribution of inflammatory cells in disease progression still to be elucidated. Read more
Cellular protein quality control in diabetes-associated heart disease: The insight into mechanisms and therapeutic potentials
Cardiovascular complications are the leading causes of diabetes mortality. With the exception of vascular and valvular injuries, diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a distinct myocardial disease, which is characterised by abnormal cellular metabolism and defects in organelles function, leading to impaired cardiac function. Read more
Examining the mechanisms that cause cardiovascular disease by studying the heart or adipose tissue
Heart failure has a serious impact on our society and once diagnosed has a poor survival rate. In the United Kingdom, there are about 1.5 million people living with the after-effects of a heart attack. Read more
SOLVE-CHD Postgraduate Scholarship
Full scholarship details are. here. Background. This Scholarship has been established to provide financial assistance to a master's by research or PhD student to undertake research in the cardiovascular rehabilitation and secondary prevention fields as part of a NHMRC Synergy Grant. Read more
Exploring and addressing loneliness amongst LGBTQI+ individuals
Researchers, practitioners, and policy makers have shown that physical, social, and mental health research disparities exist between lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, plus (LGBTQI+) populations, and. Read more
Epigenetic regulation in heart failure and cardiac sudden death
A large proportion of heart failure patients die from cardiac sudden death (SCD), a direct result of lethal ventricular arrhythmias, which is the principal cause of mortality from heart disease worldwide and remains a major unresolved public health problem. Read more
Platelets in health, ageing and disease: new diagnostics and treatments
Platelets are small blood cells that play a vital role in the chronic and acute progression of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), and also have roles in immunity, inflammation, cancer metastasis, Alzheimer's disease and a range of infections, such as dengue, HIV-1, malaria, and COVID-19. Read more
Modulating platelet reactivity to reduce the risks of heart attacks in acute coronary syndrome patients
Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide accounting for one-third of deaths. Platelets play a central role in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) through the development of arterial thrombosis. Read more
Modulation of the Hippo signalling pathway to enhance cardiac regenerative capacity
Common heart diseases such as heart failure (HF) and coronary heart disease (CHD) are characterized by cardiomyocyte loss due to necrosis and apoptosis. Read more
MSc BY RESEARCH: Can we improve patient outcomes by providing a more personalized approach to antiplatelet therapies?
Heart attacks occur when a blockage called a thrombosis develops in the blood vessels of the heart which is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Read more
Bioinformatics studies of protein structures, functions and their interactions
The computational study of protein structures, functions and their interactions is fundamental to our understanding of disease. Read more
Understanding disease mechanisms in autoimmune inflammatory muscle disease
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are a spectrum of rare autoimmune disorders characterized by inflammation of muscle tissue (myositis), which leads to muscle weakness and fatigue, and heterogeneous systemic organ involvement. Read more
Exploration of the multi-causality and multi-morbidity in patients with lifestyle related liver disease using the UK Biobank
Background. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the UK due to the obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemics. Read more
