Liver immunology, regeneration and viral infection projects (SARS-CoV-2, hepatitis viruses)
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for immunology research to join the Viral and Liver Immunology group led by Dr Zania Stamataki. Read more
Exploration of the multi-causality and multi-morbidity in patients with lifestyle related liver disease using the UK Biobank
Background. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the UK due to the obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemics. Read more
Examination of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the introduction of a novel patient-centered community metabolic liver clinic
Background. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the UK due to the obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) epidemics. Read more
Multi-organ signalling and diseases. How maintaining skeletal muscle mass impacts the development of liver diseases
Skeletal muscle has a number of roles in the human body beyond locomotion. It has a vital role in controlling the metabolic activity the organism. Read more
Developing machine learning algorithms for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma
Primary liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The most common type of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which develops in the background of liver diseases, such as cirrhosis. Read more
Identification and functional importance of RNA and lipid biomarkers in colorectal cancer metastases to liver
Applications are invited for a three-year Postgraduate studentship, supported by the College of Health and Life Sciences, at Aston University. Read more

MSc By Research: Investigating the role of anaerobic gut bacteria in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome, and its prevalence is increasing with parallel increases in obesity, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia. Read more
Development of deep learning methods and software to infer pathway enrichment from histology images - application to liver fibrosis
Histopathological images are routinely used to characterize complex phenotypes. For example, pathologists regularly study stained images of tissue biopsies for cancer diagnosis as cancer is known to change the morphological features of cells including cell shape and size [1]. Read more
How GABA neurones in the DVC control glucose metabolism
The Dorsal Vagal Complex (DVC) of the brain is an important regulator of glucose metabolism and food intake. The Nucleus of the Solitary Tract (NTS) in the DVC senses insulin and triggers a neuronal relay to decrease hepatic glucose production (HPG) in rodents. Read more
Investigating the communication between cancer cells and cells in the tumour microenvironment to improve our understanding of epigenetic regulatory mechanisms and identify new targets for cancer therapy
It is well-established that the molecular mechanisms controlling gene expression are disrupted in cancer cells and work in this area has laid the foundations for targeted cancer therapies. We are interested in the regulatory pathways that control cell proliferation and cell migration and the events that disrupt this control in multiple types of cancer. Read more
Personalised surveillance schedules for detecting hepatocellular carcinoma
Early diagnosis of cancer allows early intervention which is expected to improve outcomes for patients. Surveillance is a tool that can aid early detection through regular assessment of patients. Read more

Studying haemodynamic changes in multimorbidity
Project proposal. The number of patients with two or more medical conditions, known as multimorbidity, is rising. It is becoming clear that this is not limited to just pairs of organs, but organ–system interactions, with complex haemodynamic phenomena and structural changes underpinning this problem. Read more
Immunotherapy: Killing Cancer using Dead Virus
It is now accepted that our immune systems can hold the key to treating otherwise incurable cancers. So-called “immunotherapy” is an increasingly common method of treating tumours, leading to impressive increases in patient responses. . Read more

Exploiting parallel transmission for MRI at 7 and 11.7T
Project proposal. We are in the process of procuring an ultrahigh field (11.7T) MRI scanner, which will provide improved sensitivity for both MRI and MR spectroscopy. Read more
