muscle PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 115 muscle PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Bioelectrical control of epithelial cell behaviour
Bioelectrical behaviours, such as ion transport and action potential firing, are key features of “excitable” neuronal and muscle cells but are less well understood in “non-excitable” epithelial cells. Read more
Unveiling molecular mechanisms of the beneficial impact of exercise on cancer metabolism (Ref: AACME-24-038)
Exercise and physical activity are known to impart beneficial effects throughout the different stages of cancer treatment, including reduced risk of primary disease and prevention of secondary metastasis, for various types of cancers. Read more
Characterisation of the impact of NICD S2513 mutation on human segmentation using iPS derived somitoids
During early development cells differentiate into the different cell types required to form the tissues that make up the embryo. Research into human embryological development is challenging for practical and ethical reasons. Read more
Enhancing personalised medicine via ecosystems of digital mirrors (S3.5-MAC-Dardeno)
Digital mirrors – mathematical refinements of digital twins – are predictive models that simulate real-time states of physical systems and are recognised as crucial for personalised healthcare in the UK. Read more
Proteolytic activation of calcium channels: uncovering promising target for channel-directed therapeutics in neuronal and cardiovascular disease
Primary Supervisor. Dr Ivan Kadurin. Co-Supervisor(s). Prof Andrew Tinker (WHRI). Funding. China Scholarship Council (CSC). Deadline: 29th January 2025. Read more
Using imaging spectroscopy to measure individual differences in facial expressivity in human and non-human primates
Project ID. HI_4. Theme. Health Innovation. Humans have evolved the most expressive faces of all mammals, with facial musculature capable of a wide range of subtle and complex movement (Waller et al., 2020). Read more
Unravelling the mechanisms of cardiac myosin function in health and disease through molecular dynamic simulation and electron microscopy
Unravelling the mechanisms of cardiac myosin function in health and disease through molecular dynamic simulation and electron microscopy. Read more
Modelling, simulations and machine learning of the dynamics of human swallowing
The project. A normal swallow is an impressively complex sequence of movements, requiring the coordination of muscles located within the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx and oesophagus. Read more

Investigating the antilypolytic and hypoglycaemic effect of exogenous ketones in humans. BBSRC SWBio DTP PhD studentship 2025 Entry
Up to 34 fully-funded 4-year PhD studentships* available to start in September 2025, across a wide range of bioscience disciplines. Read more
Treating right-heart failure from an energetics perspective
Interested in PhD study at the ABI? Join our webinar this Thursday to find out more and ask any questions you might have. Over the last decade particularly in recent pandemic years, there has been an increased focus on the diagnosis and treatment of right-ventricular disease and failure (RVF). Read more
Inferring cardiac contractility using non-invasive methods
Interested in PhD study at the ABI? Join our webinar this Thursday to find out more and ask any questions you might have. Cardiac contractility is a key predictor of cardiac function and a prognostic indicator of heart disease outcomes. Read more
Informing the design of support for large (hypertrophic) breasts (IDRT25/HLS/WSW/MKUMBUZI)
The breast, lacking bone and muscle, is vulnerable to strain and injury due to excessive movement (Sanchez et al., 2017). During physical activities, it undergoes repeated multidirectional movements, which can stretch the skin and ligaments. Read more
