Exploring the Role of Gut Microbiota in Pain Perception: A Multi-disciplinary PhD Project

Project ID. S37. Gut microbiota has significant implications for health and psychological well-being. Perturbations to its composition known as gut dysbiosis have been linked to various health conditions. Read more

Host–microbiota interactions in pancreatic cancer: determining whether they exist, and their influence on disease

Project ID. SST_SHiMR_1. Pancreatic cancer (PC) is hard to diagnose, hard to treat and has poor survival rates. It is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide with an estimated 418,000 new cases and 405,500 deaths annually. Read more

BBSRC NLD Doctoral Training Partnership: Investigating the mechanism of mucin degradation by a key member of the human gut microbiota

The human gut microbiota is closely associated with health, development and disease. The thick mucus layer in the colon is the key barrier between the contents of the lumen and the epithelial cells, providing protection against potential pathogens and environmental insults. Read more

MSc By Research: Microbial fermentation of complex insoluble dietary fibre

The MSc by Research programme at the University of Aberdeen is for students interested in a research-intensive master's degree. It is designed specifically to enhance your skills for a PhD or research career. Read more

Host microbe cross talk in the intestine in health and disease

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is home to trillions of commensal bacteria (microbiota) that play an integral role in the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis through continuous and complex bidirectional interactions with the host mucosal immune system. Read more

Feeding microbes to protect the brain: does the gut microbiota mediate the risk-reducing effects of a healthy diet on Alzheimer’s disease?

Background. Ways of reducing the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias are critically needed, given the almost total lack of truly effective therapeutic options, even despite newer anti-amyloid drugs1. Read more
