Deep Learning on Neurophysiological Signals for Characterising Neurodegenerative Diseases
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), affect tens of millions of people worldwide. Read more
Synaptic dysfunction in Drosophila models of neurodegenerative diseases
Almost a million of people in the UK suffer from neurodegenerative disorders. Alzheimer’s disease (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are the most common causes of neurodegenerative dementias. Read more
Cross-sectional and longitudinal patterns of cerebral perfusion and iron pathology across cohorts of neurodegenerative diseases. Exeter Biomedical Research Centre - NIHR funded PhD Studentship for 2023/24 Entry
About the Partnership. The National Institute for Health Research Biomedical Research Centre for Exeter (NIHR Exeter BRC) is a collaboration between University of Exeter (UoE), The Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHS Royal Devon) and other SW NHS organisations. Read more
Neuroinflammation, glial cell dysfunction & neurodegenerative diseases
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, are often associated with chronic neuroinflammation and glial cell dysfunction that acts to exacerbate neuronal damage and loss of synapses. Read more
Drug discovery for amyloid plaques based neurodegenerative disorders (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/MEERA)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) followed by Parkinson’s Disease (PD) are the two most prominent causes of dementia that poses a huge health burden in an increasingly ageing population worldwide. Read more
Identification of neurotoxic gene variants and drugs using causal inference and machine learning
Applications are invited for a 4 year PhD studentship, within the laboratory of Dr Miguel Martins at the MRC Toxicology Unit, University of Cambridge. Read more
Cross-talk between axon maintenance and DNA damage in neurodegeneration
Join a team of experts to investigate the molecular mechanisms that underlie neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Read more
Neurodegeneration-associated protein TAU: Novel regulation during the DNA damage response and links to p53.
Tau is a protein that regulates microtubule stability and dynamics and is involved in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease - which is the most prevalent form of Dementia. Read more
Identifying drug targets for TDP43 proteinopathies. Exeter Biomedical Research Centre - NIHR funded PhD Studentship for 2023/24 Entry
About the Partnership. The National Institute for Health Research Biomedical Research Centre for Exeter (NIHR Exeter BRC) is a collaboration between University of Exeter (UoE), The Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHS Royal Devon) and other SW NHS organisations. Read more
What is the mechanistic link between mitochondrial dysfunction and protein aggregation; a biochemistry and imaging study
Background. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key pathogenic mechanism in multiple neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s Disease; with evidence from both sporadic and familial patient groups and multiple animal models. Read more
Gene-based therapy in mouse models of progressive hearing loss.
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL), also known as presbycusis, is the most common sensory-related health condition in the elderly, leading to the progressive loss of hearing sensitivity and decreased ability to understand speech, especially in a noisy environment. Read more
Can transcranial ultrasound be used to change the course of neurodegenerative disease?
White matter impairments are a major component of various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease(1,2). White matter is composed of neuronal axons and their encasing myelin; a lipid-rich material produced by the oligodendroglia. Read more
Doctoral College, explore our PhD opportunities across our research centres
The Centre for Stress and Age-Related Disease comprises internationally-recognised researchers working on multidisciplinary projects at the biology-chemistry interface. Read more
The impact of gut microbiome and diet interplay on neurodegeneration
Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or Huntington’s disease represent major health risks of ageing societies. Read more
ERK5 MAPK signalling in Alzheimer’s disease
Research Group:
Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Neurodegenerative diseases have devastating effects on individuals’ lives and our society, with no effective treatments available. Read more
