4-year PhD Studentship: Using human genetics to identify novel targets for colorectal cancer prevention
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common adult cancers in the UK(1). Along with lifestyle interventions and screening (i.e. Read more

Human fat distribution and metabolic disease: Identifying the mechanistic basis for site-specific fat storage to identify new ways of tackling the metabolic consequences of obesity.
Identifying the mechanistic basis for site-specific fat storage to identify new ways of tackling the metabolic consequences of obesity. Read more
Transferability of genetic risk scores for complex human diseases across diverse population groups
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been extremely successful in identifying DNA variants that are associated with a wide range of complex human traits and common diseases. Read more
PhD Studentship Opportunity: Exploring the role of the human gut microbiome in diabetic kidney disease
This is an exciting opportunity to undertake a funded PhD in a novel area of kidney research, investigating the causal role played by the gut microbiome in diabetic kidney disease. Read more
Functional coronary artery disease genetics - defining the function of new causal atherosclerosis genes from CAD GWAS loci using in vitro and in vivo models
Despite significant advancements in its treatment coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in both the UK and world-wide, accounting for over 66,000 deaths in the UK each year. Read more
The non-coding genome in cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Inherited DNA sequence variants play a role in conferring risk for disease, yet we can only predict the harmful effects of mutations in the protein-encoding portion of a gene. Read more
Realising the therapeutic potential of creatine and homoarginine in heart disease
We study how the heart meets its high and variable energy demands in order to identify novel strategies that may be therapeutically beneficial in disease. Read more
Go with the flow: the why and how of cardiovascular disease
Have you ever wondered why and how cardiovascular disease and atherosclerotic plaques develop in the areas that they do? Why is it that some arteries are prone to blockage while others are protected? The answer lies with blood flow. 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
De Novo Mutations and Human Disease
De novo mutations (DNMs) are a significant contributor to human disease, affecting ~1:300 new births. We study the mechanisms by which these spontaneous mutations arise in the first instance, concentrating on the tissue where most originate, the human testis. Read more

Single Cell Biology of Hematopoietic Stem- and Progenitor Cells in Blood Cancer and Ageing
The focus of the Nerlov laboratory is combining single cell biology (single cell RNAseq, ATACseq and functional analysis) with advanced mouse genetics to study hematopoietic stem– and progenitor cells in normal development and during ageing. Read more
