Understanding motor neuron disease using a powerful combination of model systems. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2024/25 Entry, PhD in Clinical and Biomedical Sciences.
About the GW4 BioMed2 Doctoral Training Partnership. The partnership brings together the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff (lead) and Exeter to develop the next generation of biomedical researchers. Read more
MSc by Research: ADP-ribosylation in dementia and motor neuron disease
ADP-ribosylation is a fundamental posttranslational modification where ADP-ribose is linked on to target proteins by ADP-ribose transferases and removed by the ADP-ribose hydrolases. Read more
Investigating the role of SOD1 in sporadic Motor Neuron Disease patients using structural proteomics
Background. Motor Neuron Disease/Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a complex neurological disorder characterised by the progressive degeneration of motor neurons that is thought to be caused by mitochondrial dysfunction leading to oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. Read more
Applied optogenetics to study the influence of neuronal activity on neurodegeneration
Optogenetic approaches use genetically encoded, light-inducible proteins that can be expressed in specific tissues and cell types (e.g. Read more
How should we offer predictive genetic testing for families with genetic MND?
Motor Neuron Disease (MND) is a progressive neurological condition causing weakness. In around 20% there is an identifiable genetic cause. Read more
PhD - Developing Drosophila as a model to study the molecular and behavioural changes underlying Parkinson’s disease
The general lab interest is how neural circuit activity underlies behaviour including circadian rhythms, sleep, memory and movement. Read more
Investigate neuron-glia interactions in MND using advanced molecular and microscopy techniques
This project aims to characterise some of the fundamental interactions between motor neurons and glial cells (microglia, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes) in the CNS. Read more
Understanding the Electric Field in Electrical Stimulation for Biomedical Applications
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a treatment that applies small electrical charges to a muscle that has become paralysed or weakened, due to damage in the brain or spinal cord. Read more
PhD Studentship - Cortico-spinal interactions in humans: from methods development to clinical application
Applications are invited for a 3-year funded PhD studentship at University College London (UCL) in the Department of Imaging Neuroscience, UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology. Read more
