Vascular endothelial glycocalyx dysfunction as a therapeutic target in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury
Sepsis is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (sAKI), associated with high morbidity and mortality.1,2 Unfortunately, there is no treatment for sAKI, current therapies are nonspecific and supportive of the vital organs. Read more
PhD in Infection, Immunity, Antimicrobial Resistance & Repair - Investigating long noncoding RNAs as novel therapies in chronic kidney disease
SUMMARY. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 15% of the global population and is associated with significant multimorbidity and high mortality, but has no cure. Read more

Using ultra-high resolution 3D imaging to explore the vasculature in kidney disease
Lead supervisors. Prof. David Long, Dr Claire Walsh and Dr Daniyal Jafree. The human body is complex and multi-scale; it contains ~37 trillion cells which interact and assemble into functional structures, tissues, and organs. Read more
Fully-funded PhD Studentship in the Tanos Laboratory to study Cilia and Ciliary Signalling in Polycystic Kidney Disease
The Tanos Laboratory at Brunel University London is providing a PhD studentship with full funding to research the role of cilia and ciliary signalling in polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Read more
Understanding why cardiovascular complications are the number one cause of death in patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease
Background. End-stage Kidney failure, also known as End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD), is the final, irreversible stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD), where kidney function has worsened to the point that the kidneys can no longer function independently. Read more
Optimising outcome measure selection in physical activity research in those with chronic kidney disease
Impaired physical fitness and function is highly prevalent in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), associating with an increased risk of mortality, falls, and hospitalization [1]. Read more

Exploring Glucocorticoid Metabolism as a Therapeutic Target for Bone Wasting Related to Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common long-term condition, affecting 1 in 7 people above the age of 65 years in England. Read more
Mechanistic models for protein binding and transport in organ impairment
When evaluating impact of disease on drug response, measurement of total drug concentration is typically used as surrogate for free drug concentration and pharmacological effect. Read more
PREDICTING CRYSTALLURIA
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is poorly diagnosed, ineffectively managed and has been recognised as a condition of global concern (Lancet. Read more
Cross-tissue and cross-disease immunometabolic landscape characterisation at single-cell resolution
Commercial partner: Janssen Biotech, Inc. Immune cells play a fundamental role in health and disease, with many of their functions relying on the careful orchestration of metabolic and energetic pathways. Read more
Investigating the role of the microbiome in infection and health outcomes following renal transplantation
Many infections and disease states are closely linked to associated microbiomes, either of the patient themselves or the surrounding clinical environment. Read more
Developing translatable TetraVecta-enabled allogeneic regulatory T cell therapy
Commercial partner: Oxford Biomedica (UK) Ltd (OXB). Pathological immune activation is a hallmark of several diseases from autoimmunity to solid organ transplant rejection. Read more
Epigenetic signalling in cancer
The advent of population scale tumour genomics has revealed that the genes encoding proteins that normally act to regulate chromatin structure are amongst the most frequently mutated genes in a range of cancers. Read more
Elucidating T cell phenotype and function in frozen shoulder (NDORMS 2024/5)
Frozen shoulder is a disabling condition affecting 10% of the working population. Disease causes significant pain and immobility of the shoulder joint, reducing life quality of affected patients. Read more
