4-year PhD Studentship: Control of neuronal differentiation and ciliogenesis through mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) – Regulatory Factor X (RFX) interaction in embryonic and adult neurogenesis
Glucocorticoid hormones (GCs) are of critical importance for health[1]. They bind to two receptor types in the hippocampus. the mineralocorticoid (MR) and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) which act as ligand-dependent transcription factors[2-4]. Read more
PhD Opportunity – Exploring the role of ancestry in Mendelian randomization studies and applying these findings to identify risk factors for gallbladder cancer
Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a very aggressive disease, mainly affecting women and older persons, resulting in more than 85,000 deaths every year. Read more
Causal association between physical activity and breast cancer subtype; a Mendelian randomization study (MSc Research)
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide accounting for approximately 25 percent of all new cases of cancer in women. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Linking multivariable Mendelian randomization with lifecourse epidemiology: developing the methodology and application to a contemporary exemplar
Mendelian randomization (MR) uses genetic variants as instrumental variables to estimate the causal effect of an exposure on an outcome, free from bias due to unobserved confounding. Read more

EASTBIO: Non-invasive Mapping of Oxygen Extraction Fraction in Human: Development of Novel Multi-Parametric Magnetic Resonance Relaxometry Imaging Methods
Supervisors. Dr Jiabao He. - University of Aberdeen, Institute of Medical Sciences, School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition - Jiabao.He@abdn.ac.uk. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Using genetics to understand confounding: Applying Mendelian randomization and other causal inference techniques to strengthen causal inference in epidemiology
Many apparently robust observational findings in medical research have been refuted by randomized controlled trials (RCTs), largely because common analysis methods are sensitive to unmeasured confounding. Read more
Non-invasive cardiac metabolism assessment using ultra-high field (7T) MR Spectroscopy
My group at the Oxford Centre for Clinical Magnetic Resonance Research (OCMR) is focused on development of new methods for cardiac metabolism assessment using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Read more

4-year PhD Studentship: How does parental education increase risk to ADHD in the offspring?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition, characterised by persistent difficulties in the areas of attention span/impulse control. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Using human genetics to identify novel targets for colorectal cancer prevention
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common adult cancers in the UK(1). Along with lifestyle interventions and screening (i.e. Read more
A cellular atlas of human bone to understand the relationship between femeroacetabular impingement and hip osteoarthritis
This full-time 3 year DPhil post, funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI), will contribute substantially to the laboratory and computational research of the Ancestrally Diverse Musculoskeletal Atlas based at the. Read more
Towards increased accessibility in human-robot collaboration leveraging gaze interaction in Mixed Reality [Self-Funded Students Only]
Research Group:
Cybersecurity, Privacy and HCC Research Section
Human-robot collaboration (HRC) requires efficient mechanisms to communicate and exchange information from/to users to/from robots, e.g., to allow a user to command a robot, as well as to allow a robot to express its interpretations and intentions. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Understanding ancestral/ethnic differences in adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes
Adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes (APPOs), including miscarriage, stillbirth, gestational diabetes (GD), hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), preterm birth (PTB), and small and large for gestational age (SGA/LGA) together affect over 40% of pregnancies, and are associated with poor future health for mother and offspring.1 The risk of APPOs varies by ancestry.
