Selective targeting of furin for the treatment of fibrotic lung disease.

Furin, a proprotein convertase has been established as a therapeutic target across several disease areas to include chronic airways diseases and infectious disease, such as COVID-19 (reviewed in our recent publication, Douglas et al, 2023). Read more

PhD in stem cell modelling for neuropsychiatric disorders

This project provides a unique opportunity to explore the developmental origins of schizophrenia—a severe mental health disorder—using cutting-edge patient-derived stem cell models. Read more

Sex differences in epicardial fat modulation of cardiac function

This project will aim to determine whether structural and physiological properties of epicardial adipose tissue are responsible for the sex differences in human myocardial function and cardiac arrhythmogenicity. Read more

Immune regulation of lung repair, and long-term consequences of infection

This project is one of 14 four year PhD Studentships funded by Medical Research Scotland (MRS) (https://www.medicalresearchscotland.org.uk) to be delivered jointly by the named University and External Partner Organisation (EPO). Read more

Investigating the role of thymosin beta 10 in feline chronic kidney disease

Chronic kidney disease is an extremely common but heterogeneous condition in cats that adversely affects their health and welfare and is the most frequent cause of death in cats over five years of age. Read more

Postgraduate Research at the School of Science, Engineering and Environment, University of Salford

At the School of Science, Engineering and Environment (SEE), University of Salford more than 280 postgraduate researchers (PGRs) and 200 academics conduct research that was rated in the 2021 Research Excellent Framework (REF) as “world-leading or internationally excellent” (78%) and as generating “outstanding innovative impact” (88%).

A 3D-Printed Blood-Brain-Barrier-on-a-Chip for Agrochemical Permeability Studies – CASE Studentship

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) tightly regulates the flow of material between the bloodstream and the brain. One of the big problems faced by a range of sectors, from pharmaceuticals to agrochemicals, is understanding how compounds interact with and cross this barrier. Read more

Cancer: Characterization of EGFR signaling activated by the endothelium in the process of breast cancer metastasis to the brain

The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is important in normal physiology regulating epithelial development and homeostasis. In cancer, deregulation resulting from mutation, amplification or transcriptional upregulation promotes tumorigenesis. Read more
