Role of nutrition, and gut function in human health and diseases (sarcopenia, frailty, diabetes and cardiovascular diseas); using metabolomics and genomics

Could what we eat reshape the crosstalk between our gut, muscles and heart as we age? This exciting PhD harnesses cutting-edge metabolomics to decode the nutrition-gut-muscle-heart axis, uncovering biomarkers of healthy ageing and novel targets to prevent age-related cardiovasucal and cardiometabolic disease.

Unravelling the Physiological Drivers of Sleep-Dependent Glymphatic Flow in Alzheimer’s Disease using Advanced MRI

Poor sleep is linked to increased future dementia risk. The SleepBoost study is a £4.3m multi-centre investigation into this link and aims to demonstrate interventions that improve slow-wave sleep can increase waste clearance in the brain, which may slow or even reverse Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology.
