MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Modulation of neural extracellular matrix to improve frailty during ageing
Muscle frailty is a serious condition and highly prevalent in the ageing community. It leads to accidental falls and injuries in aged individuals, and contributes significantly to the poor quality of life. Read more

Cardiovascular and Neuromuscular Functions around the Clock: Harnessing Protective Endogenous Mechanisms towards Smarter Design of Novel Therapies and Interventions
Optimal tissue and organ is essential for long-term health and quality of life. One such important regulator within the body is related to circadian rhythms, which control ~24h cycles in many physiological processes such as sleep/wake cycles, physical activity/rest cycles, drug metabolism and hormones. 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
Modelling human movement in health and disease: Clinical insights into Tourette Syndrome through machine learning and computational modelling of brain-to-muscle signals
Application deadline - midday (GMT) Friday 10 January 2025. Additional supervisor. Dr Katherine Dyke, University of Nottingham. Read more
Beat-to-beat modulation of Calcium-induced Calcium release in cardiac muscle
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Contraction in the heart is well known to be dependent on a transient rise in intracellular calcium concentration. Read more
Bioengineering a dynamic culture platform to improve the maturity of iPSC-derived muscle organoids
About the project. Heart disease is a critical health burden and leading cause of mortality worldwide. To understand disease mechanisms and develop future treatments for heart disease, we have developed a human cardiac organoid platform derived from pluripotent stem cells. Read more
Exploring Sensorimotor Function and Developing Rehabilitation Strategies using Experimental and Computational Approaches
In collaboration with a multidisciplinary team consisting of biologists, clinicians, engineers, mathematicians, and computational biologists and startups around the globe, we aim to decipher the organizational principles of sensorimotor function in mammals. Read more
Developing the evidence base for the visual presentation of complex data to clinicians (S3.5-SMP-Alix)
Innovations using complicated maths such as artificial intelligence promise much in health care, from better diagnosis to better treatment. Read more
Active Smectics in Developing Tissues
Active liquid crystals provide physical models for biological systems [1], such as the cytoskeleton, epithelial monolayers and biofilms. Read more
Funded PhD open to UK-domiciled, home fee applicants of Black African, Black Caribbean or other Black or mixed Black heritage - User-centred development of a digital intervention to support strength training in people with rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common inflammatory arthritis in the UK affecting around 1% of the population(1). RA is a chronic autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system attacks cells in the body causing pain, inflammation, and joint swelling. Read more
