Investigating locus coeruleus function in autism mouse models
Applications are invited for one 3.5 year full-time fully funded PhD studentship in the lab of Dr Rebecca Jordan within the Simons Initiative for the Developing Brain at the University of Edinburgh. Read more
Promoting Neuromuscular Junction Recovery Following Treatment in Mouse Models of Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Spinal Muscular Atrophy is a genetic motor neuron disease with a childhood onset. In its most severe form, it causes progressive paralysis and death before 2 years of age. Read more

Developmental timing in mouse, human and chimeric stem cell models
About the Project. The Babraham Institute is a world-leader in fundamental biological research investigating the systems that underpin development and healthy ageing. Read more
Face matching using a novel interactive procedure: Examining eye- and mouse-movement behaviour
Checking photo ID is necessary for identity verification, enabling people to cross borders, buy age restricted goods, and access services. Read more
Patterns and processes underlying genetic and adaptive variation in the Namaqua rock mouse (Micaelamys namaquensis) from southern Africa
Small mammals provide important ecosystem services as pollinators and seed dispersers (Jones and Safi 2011). They also aerate soil, regulate insect populations, support forest regeneration and are a food source for snakes, bird of prey and carnivores (Pearce & Venier 2005). Read more
Evaluating the gut dysbiosis in Demented and non-Demented Parkinson’s disease patients and their effect in progressive mouse model of Parkinson’s Disease.
Dementia is not a disease rather it is a syndrome and is characterized by decrease in cognition which is noteworthy enough to alter your daily functioning. Read more
Enhancing the face validity of mouse models of single gene childhood-onset epilepsies
Research Group:
Centre of Genomic and Experimental Medicine
· Background. The ease of use of gene editing tools developed over the last 5 years has resulted in many new models of genetic epilepsies that recapitulate clinical mutations precisely. 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
Precision Medicine DTP - The synaptic basis of Cognitive reserve in Alzheimer's disease
Research Group:
Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences
Background. Traditionally, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been thought to be caused by progressive neuronal cell death (neurotoxic hypothesis). Read more

EASTBIO: The role of synapse protein lifetime in memory
Research Group:
Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences
Understanding the mechanisms of memory formation and how these change across the lifespan remains a major scientific question, impacting language acquisition in children to cognitive decline in old age. Read more
Resident memory B cell responses in the lung; immunity against pulmonary pathogens
Immunological memory of antibody responses is critical for the ability of the host to cope with secondary infections and is the basis for the development of most current vaccines. Read more
(BBSRC DTP) Looking into the Crystal Ball: Uncovering Predictive Mechanical Cues for Cell Choices in Development and Disease
The cells and tissues of our bodies are constantly pushed and pulled and it is vital that they sense and respond to these mechanical forces appropriately to maintain normal tissue function. Read more
Towards restoring memory dysfunction in prodromal Alzheimer’s Disease.
Project outline. Brains contain billions of specialised cells, called neurons, which are the fundamental building blocks of every circuit in the nervous system. Read more
Exploring the role of matrix encapsulation on early developmental decisions using non-animal sourced hydrogels
A PhD studentship in stem cell biology and disease modelling is available in Prof Merry’s group (. https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/medicine/people/cathy.merry. Read more
