SELF-FUNDING MSc BY RESEARCH PROJECT: Do male mice prefer to live on their own?
Aggression in group housed male mice is a major concern from both an animal welfare and scientific perspective. Surprising little is known about the social behaviour of male mice in the laboratory environment and therefore what factors trigger aggression or beneficial husbandry methods. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Can glomerular podocyte damage cause widespread vascular permeability in cardiovascular disease?
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of premature death in chronic kidney disease [1] and proteinuria is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular mortality [2]. Read more
Building the skull - normal and abnormal development
Using a combination of patient samples and mouse models, we study the causes and developmental origins of skull malformation. The work ranges from screening human DNA for new mutations, to use of genome editing and single cell transcriptomics to model the developmental causes of these malformations in mice. Read more

Astrocytes as regulators of neuronal autophagy in ageing brain
This project is available through the MIBTP programme. The successful applicant will join the MIBTP cohort and will take part in all of the training offered by the programme. Read more
Adverse myocardial remodelling in cardiac fibrosis and atrial fibrillation
Our main focus is to understand the mechanisms of two major often linked heart conditions cardiac fibrosis and atrial fibrillation. Read more
MSc by Research: Identification of a serum-transferrable factor in helminth infections that prevents respiratory viral infection
In the developing world, parasitic helminths infect a large proportion of the population – up to 1 billion people are infected with soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections worldwide. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Nanoparticle Gene Therapy for Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most frequent Mendelian inherited kidney disease (prevalence 1/1000). Read more
Single Cell Biology of Hematopoietic Stem- and Progenitor Cells in Blood Cancer and Ageing
The focus of the Nerlov laboratory is combining single cell biology (single cell RNAseq, ATACseq and functional analysis) with advanced mouse genetics to study hematopoietic stem– and progenitor cells in normal development and during ageing. Read more
Single Cell Biology of Hematopoietic Stem- and Progenitor Cells in Blood Cancer and Ageing
The focus of the Nerlov laboratory is combining single cell biology (single cell RNAseq, ATACseq and functional analysis) with advanced mouse genetics to study hematopoietic stem– and progenitor cells in normal development and during ageing. Read more
Defining the role of WT1 in cellular and molecular processes during gastrulation, in embryos and gastruloids
In an ageing population, injury and degenerative processes lead to increased pressure on the NHS due to demand on treatments. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Endothelial glycocalyx damage as a therapeutic target in cardiopulmonary bypass associated acute kidney injury
Patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) often develop acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI). Read more
Targeting senescence to ameliorate ageing and treat cancer and other age-related diseases
Ageing is a biological process that affects all humans. Despite the scientific advances of the past decades, the mechanisms that lead to ageing are not fully understood. Read more
Realising the therapeutic potential of creatine and homoarginine in heart disease
We study how the heart meets its high and variable energy demands in order to identify novel strategies that may be therapeutically beneficial in disease. Read more
