Exploring the relationship between gut microbes, phages, metabolites and cardiometabolic health using computational methods
Metabolomics and the gut microbiome are intricately involved in the risk of metabolic diseases. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Making Sense of Floral Scents: Investigating the mechanisms of tissue specific scent production in plants
Plants produce diverse secondary metabolites that mediate their interactions with the biotic and abiotic environment, and understanding the regulation of these metabolites is a central goal of plant science. 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
Evolutionary ‘frenemies’? Understanding the molecular mechanisms underpinning the evolution of endosymbiosis
Symbioses are abundant, taxonomically widespread, ecologically important in a wide-range of habitats, economically important in agricultural systems, and consequently underpin the biodiversity and function of both natural and artificial ecosystems. Read more
Combining genome-scale metabolic models and multi-omics data for a system level understanding of bacteria
Understanding microbial metabolism is essential for the exploitation of bacteria in a number of different biotechnological applications, the members of the Streptomyces genus being a particularly biotechnologically interesting example (Del Carratore et al., 2022). Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: How does skeletal muscle communicate across organs, tissues and cell types to induce the beneficial metabolic effects of exercise?
Exercise is a key biological process. Exercise training leads to whole body adaptations that improve fitness, prevent frailty, and offer protection against age-related dysfunction and disease. Read more
Tricia Cohen Prize Studentship: Fuelling intestinal immune protection
Intraepithelial T lymphocytes (IEL) are at the forefront of mucosal immunity - the first immune cells that pathogens encounter in the gut. Read more
Identification and modification of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying unsuccessful knee replacements for osteoarthritis (NDORMS 2024/11)
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting 5.4 million people in the UK. It is characterised by loss of cartilage and inflammation and fibrosis of the synovial tissue that surrounds the joint. Read more
PhD in Neuroscience & Mental Health - Deciphering how NLRP3 inflammasome- and STING-driven inflammatory pathways are linked to mental health disorders
Summary. There is an interaction between activation of the innate immune system, pro-inflammatory cytokines and changes in the brain relating to mood and behaviour. Read more

Using multi-omics to improve prediction and early diagnosis of pregnancy complications
The MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit at the University of Bristol is the leading group for the development and application of causal analysis and evidence triangulation in health research to improve lives. Read more
Repurposing and enriching cardiovascular risk prediction model to identify people at risk of cancer – UCL (part of Health Data Research UK’s Big Data for Complex Disease Driver Programme)
Risk-stratified management of cardiovascular disease (CVD), where people without established disease receive preventative interventions and monitoring based on their 10-years predicted risk, has been highly successful to ensure healthcare resources are allocated to those most likely to benefit. Read more
Developing Biotechnology Applications for Membrane-Embedded Enzymes (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/Moschos2)
Soluble proteins can be readily used for biotechnology applications. Enzymatically-active protein domains tethered to cell membranes can be also easily accessed by expressing the soluble domain. Read more
Where has all of the carbon gone? Understanding the molecular mechanisms of long-term soil carbon capture
Soils, while unglamorous, form the basis of the terrestrial biosphere and are ultimately the source of the majority of the food that we eat, yet fundamental aspects of how soils form and how they store carbon are poorly understood. Read more
Better diagnosis and intervention for sarcopenia and frailty, and multimorbidity (cardiovascular disease, heart failure, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)) utilizing metabolomic.
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
Wide range of PhD topics and methodologies are available for those interested in older age and chronic disease. We are able to offer multidisciplinary projects for studies with human, animal models, metabolomics, and biology in relation to the advertise title. Read more
