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
U-RHYTHM: developing a novel technology for the investigation of tissue-level thyroid and sex hormone dynamics in humans
Background. Rhythms characterise all living things, and our physiology can be a considered as a state of continuous dynamic equilibrium. Read more
Heat shapes plant growth - unravelling crosstalk between temperature and hormone signalling pathways in the control of leaf development
Ambient temperature has profound effects on almost all aspects of plant development, from the onset of seed germination and seedling establishment to flower and fruit production, and thereby also impacts crop quality and yield. Read more
How do hormones regulate memory?
Deficiencies of thyroid hormone are common throughout the globe. Adult-onset hypothyroidism is prevalent in around 8-10% of the population and is associated with reproductive disorders, anxiety, depression and impairment of memory. Read more
Control of Parathyroid Hormone Secretion
The regulation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion is of fundamental importance for calcium homeostasis and in mineral conditions affecting bone and the kidneys. Read more
Investigating the interactions of incretin hormone mimetics with hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system arginine vasopressin and oxytocin release
Our research focus over decades has been the osmoregulatory function of a special collection of neurones in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. Read more
Finding the cause for chronic headaches in patients living with acromegaly
Severe headache is a symptom of acromegaly, where patients can manifest the whole range of headache disorders, which cannot be relieved by over-the-counter pain relief. Read more
Sex differences and the interplay of androgens and oestrogens in the modulation of human immune responses. (NDORMS 2024/6)
The immunological response to foreign antigens is distinct in men and women, as was so clearly demonstrated during the recent Covid-19 pandemic. Read more
Protecting Mum: how hormones act on neural circuitry to regulate postpartum mood and behaviour
Mammals give birth to dependent offspring and significant parental involvement is required to ensure offspring survive. During pregnancy and in the early postpartum period, hormones act on neural circuitry to bring about key changes in a mother's mood and behaviour. Read more
Insulin-related intracellular trafficking: role of AGAP2
Insulin is a key hormone regulating glucose metabolism and the intracellular pathways activated by this hormone are still an area of intensive study. . Read more
Evaluating the therapeutic potential of leptin-based hexamers in neurodegenerative disease
Translation of basic research into Alzheimer’s disease (AD) therapies is hindered by our inability to turn promising lab results into drugs that can be taken by patients. Read more
Inflorescence architecture in the laboratory and field
Plant form is shaped by both genetics and environment; changes in response to temperature can be the most dramatic of all. Many plants synchronize flowering with spring by sensing and storing an epigenetic ‘memory’ of cold, which then affects the timing, morphology and productivity of the inflorescence produced.

Last chance to apply
Characterising the mode of action of a novel anti-AT1R antibody (ATN-E11) on the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis in a range of cancer cell lines
Fixed term contract for 3 years, commencing January 2024. Bursary of £18,622 per annum and a full fee-waiver for UK tuition fees. Read more
Lateral Flow Test Development for Small Molecules
Applications are invited for a self-funded PhD. The successful applicant is expected to start in September 2022, although this date is negotiable. Read more
Oxytocin neuron activity in lactation
Pulsatile secretion of the hormone, oxytocin, is essential for milk delivery during suckling and its secretion from the posterior pituitary gland is triggered by coordinated bursts of action potentials across the population of oxytocin neurons. Read more
