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

Bioengineered assays of vascularised and innervated human skeletal muscle injury
Project detail. 3D bioengineered skeletal muscle models can be used as experimental test beds, with published work recreating exercise, injury and regeneration. Read more
Clinical, physiological and inflammatory characteristics of chronic airways disease
Chronic respiratory disease affects over 550-million people worldwide and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Read more
Exercise and non-invasive brain stimulation on brain function, food cravings, and energy intake
Unhealthy dietary choice is one of the major causes of obesity, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Despite evidence suggesting that a healthy diet reduces the risk of obesity, CVD and T2D, the impulse to consume highly palatable foods is difficult to be inhibited. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Rhythms of hormones and cytokines in health and disease.
We have developed a novel system to measure tissue levels of hormones, metabolites and inflammatory mediators over the full 24 hours in people going about their normal everyday lives. Read more
Imaging in Preventive Cardiology Research
The Preventive Cardiology Research Group aims to improve how we identify and prevent heart disease in young people. There is a particular interest in links between pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and later cardiovascular disease in both the mother and child. Read more
The anti-cancer potential and pharmacological characterisation of Frankincense resin
Interviews will be held on. End of June / early July 2022. The candidate must be able to register by 19th September 2022. Description. Read more
Deciphering the landscape of nucleoporin and lamin function in nucleocytoplasmic communication, nuclear scaffolding and transcriptional control in disease prevention
The nucleus has an instrumental role in cellular responses by coordinating shuttling of components in and out of the nucleus and gene expression with genome architecture and stability. Read more

Optimising carbohydrate intake for performance and health in endurance athletes
Loughborough University is a top-ten rated university in England for research intensity (REF, 2014) and an outstanding 66% of the work of Loughborough’s academic staff who were eligible to be submitted to the REF was judged as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, compared to a national average figure of 43%.

Development of an isolated glomerular albumin permeability assay to high throughput for drug screening in human glomerular disease
Rationale. There is an urgent need to identify new clinical treatments for those with kidney disease. It is also critical to have a screening system to enable us to identify novel drugs that are relevant to humans. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Exploring the relationship between alcohol consumption, depression and self-harm combining epidemiological and human laboratory methods
There is concern about a 'mental health crisis' in the population; one in six adults has a mental health problem [1], and levels of mental health problems such as depression and self-harm are rising, particularly among young people [2-3]. Read more
