We have 26 hypertension PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Multimodal data integration to identify novel therapeutic targets for treatment-resistant hypertension

  Research Group: Biomedical Sciences
Hypertension (high blood pressure) effects one in three adults and is the number one cause of stroke in Northern Ireland. Treatment-resistant hypertension (TRH) relates to hypertensive patients taking three or more antihypertensive medications. Read more

Investigating the roles that G protein coupled receptors play in hypertension

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a very large family of heptahelical, integral membrane proteins that mediate a wide variety of physiological processes ranging from the transmission of light and odorant signals to the mediation of neurotransmission and hormonal actions. Read more

Development of a personalized therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)

  Research Group: Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating cardiovascular disorder which, if left untreated, leads to heart failure and death. Read more

Therapeutic resolution of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) by natural products

  Research Group: Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating cardiovascular disorder which, if left untreated, leads to heart failure and death. Read more

Re-purposing established drugs for the resolution of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)

  Research Group: Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating cardiovascular disorder which, if left untreated, leads to heart failure and death. Read more

PMCA1 – a potential target for the treatment of heart failure

Our research group is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of heart failure and in doing so identifying potential new targets for its treatment. Read more

NIHR Leeds BRC: Utilising genetic and genomic predictors of vasculitis and disease/treatment complications for application in routine clinical practice

There is substantial interest in using genetic biomarkers to predict those most at risk of disease and treatment complications; this is one of the focuses of Our Future Health, a national study aiming to recruit 5M participants ( https://ourfuturehealth.org.uk/ ). Read more

The British Heart Foundation 4-year PhD programme in Cardiovascular Science

The programme is held by the University/British Heart Foundation Centre for Cardiovascular Science. Research is investigator-led and based around key themes. Read more

Influence of adiposity on iron metabolism and requirements during pregnancy

  Research Group: Biomedical Sciences
Malnutrition is a major global health issue causing significant morbidity and mortality across a range of health systems. Globally, weight related chronic diseases cause 4 million deaths annually, up to 800 million people are undernourished and at least 1 billion experience micronutrient deficiencies. Read more

NIHR Leeds BRC: Force sensing mechanisms of haemostasis in heart failure and diabetes

Since the original identification of the role of PIEZO1 in vascular integrity and endothelial cell biology by our group in Leeds in 2014, there have been many publications on the role of PIEZO1 in endothelial function and its role in processes such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, cell-cell junctions, vascular permeability and leukocyte diapedesis.
