Transforming neuro-pathology with deep learning (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/Schwalbe)
Medulloblastoma is the most common central nervous system tumour of childhood. Although advances in treatment have raised survival to ~75%, there remains significant numbers of patients who die of their disease. Read more
Machine learning supported application of advanced neuromonitoring for individualised guided management of acute traumatic brain injury in intensive care
Traumatic brain injury is an extremely complex pathology with a highly dynamic time profile developing over the course of the very first days in a critical care unit. 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
Neuroimmune crosstalk in infection and cancer
Immune reactions against pathogens and tumours require several layers of regulation to ensure the appropriate control of infectious agents and cancerous… Read more
Epigenetic control of transcription factor regulation of adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus
In the adult brain, new neurons are continuously generated in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). This neurogenesis process is highly regulated and consists of cell proliferation, neuronal differentiation, neuronal maturation and survival. Read more
Advanced brain-computer interface
A brain-computer interface (BCI) provides a direct communication pathway between a human brain and an external device. Using appropriate sensors and data processing algorithms, a BCI maps patterns of brain activity associated with a volitional thought onto signals suitable for communication and control. Read more
Metabolic Control of Microglia Regulating Neuronal Functions
Background. Chronic, low grade, inflammation plays a critical role in inflammatory and degenerative central nervous system (CNS) disorders characterised by an irreversible decline of cognitive functions. Read more
PhD Studentship Opportunities in the overall Field of Cognition Research
The Max Planck School of Cognition (MPS-Cog) is a joint graduate program of the Max Planck Society and leading German Universities together with Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Helmholtz Association, and University College London, and is additionally funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

The representation of love and relationships in contemporary zine culture
The primary objective of this PhD project is to research the representation of love and relationships in contemporary zine culture. Read more
Human-like performance in neuromorphic robots
This scholarship is to support the Horizon Europe project PRIMI. Performance in Human Robot Interaction via Mental Imagery, led by Professor Alessandro Di Nuovo (scientific coordinator). Read more
Analysing the role of mitochondrial calcium in neurodegeneration
Mitochondrial calcium plays a key role in a wide array of cellular homeostatic processes and has been linked to causing neurodegeneration. Read more

Moving softly: how the interplay of neuronal circuits and biomechanics enables complex movement in soft-bodied animals
Soft bodied animals can radically change their body shape, squeeze through cracks, then crawl, roll, tunnel, or even jump. Controlling soft bodies is difficult because they have highly non-linear physical properties and virtually unlimited degrees of freedom. Read more
Deep learning of deformable object manipulation on manufacturing robots
Background. Current robots in manufacturing settings are not able to adapt to variations introduced by collaborating humans or other factors in the environment. Read more
The effect of dementia and aging on the functional and hemodynamic response of the brain
The neuro-vascular unit and the hemodynamic response regulate how the blood supply in our brain meets the metabolic demand of neuronal activity. Read more
