PhD Opportunity - Investigating disease mechanisms of collagen IV disease including intracerebral haemorrhage
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Project background. 15% of strokes are due to intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), for which there is no treatment. Read more
Developing novel strategies to protect the coronary microcirculation in the presence of co-morbidities
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in cardiovascular diseases to apply for a 3-year PhD studentship. Read more
Identifying the causes and cellular effects of Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)
A major factor in morbidity and mortality worldwide is end stage renal disease (ESRD). At least 10% of ESRD is caused by focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a form of steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. Read more
Investigating the role of neutrophil-mediated tissue damage in a model of lupus nephritis
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a rare autoimmune disease that affects around 5 million people worldwide. It disproportionately affects women and is incurable. Read more
The development of better drugs for heart failure
History and purpose. Are you passionate about cutting-edge drug development and eager to make a real-world impact? The Ferrier Research Institute at Victoria University of Wellington is offering an exciting PhD scholarship to help transform the treatment of heart failure. Read more
Molecular mechanisms of pacemaker (sinus node) dysfunction in ageing, heart failure and athletes
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
The heart’s pacemaker, the sinus node, initiates the action potential that causes the heart to beat, and the atrioventricular node conducts the action potential from the atria to the ventricles, the pumping chambers of the heart. Read more
The role of endothelial PKD1 in endothelial dysfunction and formation of aortic aneurysms
Polycytin-1 (PKD1) is the main causative gene for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) affecting every 1 in 400 to 1,000 people. Read more
Funded PhD- Emerging co-resistance to first and second line antibiotics in urinary pathogens and implications for the control of urosepsis.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a very common presentation in primary care, and the most common infection leading to microbiological examination and antibiotic treatment. Read more
(BRC) Cluster medicine: identifying shared biological pathways across immune-mediated inflammatory diseases and common comorbidities for the improved targeting of treatments
Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are a broad group of clinically diverse medical conditions associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Read more
An integrated hydro-epidemiological approach to prevent and mitigate water-related zoonotic diseases leveraging nature-based solutions. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2025/26
Summary. Waterborne zoonotic diseases, such as Cryptosporidium, E.coli, and Leptospira are a serious threat to drinking water safety, especially in rural, farm-dominated lands. Read more
Medical Physics: Development and validation of novel MRI methods using models of disease.
Project Description. At Glasgow’s Experimental MRI Centre (GEMRIC) we are interested in pushing the boundaries of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and its application to biomedical research. Read more
Investigating cross-tissue and cross-disease immune mechanisms using single-cell/spatial multiomics & machine learning/AI-powered language learning tools
Immune cells play a fundamental role in health and disease. We are applying the latest molecular and cellular multi-omics analysis platforms (single-cell and spatial omics) and computational methods to deliver insights into immune cell biology across a range of human tissues (e.g. Read more
How to build a motile cilium?
Cilia and flagella are cellular appendages found from protozoa to animals, responsible for their motility and sensory functions. Read more
The use of picture books to increase toddlers’ willingness to consume unfamiliar food.
Evidence demonstrates that repeated exposure is effective in increasing children's liking and consumption of target foods, however parents can find it a challenging strategy to implemement, not least because of the resource it requires. Read more
An investigation of the causal relationship and genetic overlap between sleep traits and physical and mental health using Mendelian randomization
Rationale. Sleep has long been known to play a role in physical and mental wellbeing and sleep disruption has been observed to co-occur with a number of health conditions including. Read more
