4-year PhD Studentship: Investigating the relationship and modelling the impact of neuroinflammation on cerebral vascular function in dementia using novel 3D models of the cerebral vasculature
Reduced blood flow and a breakdown of the protective blood-brain barrier (BBB) are major contributors to the development of cognitive decline and disease pathology in the early stages of dementia [1]. Read more
Mass Spectrometry Imaging to investigate molecular signatures of neuroinflammation in rat brain.
The aims of this project are to identify signature molecules in acute model of neuroinflammation in rats (stroke, LPS injection) and better characterise pathways involved in neuroinflammation. Read more
PhD Studentship - A multi-model approach to investigate the role of early neuroinflammation in dementia with Lewy bodies
Overview. Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a common form of dementia caused by the abnormal folding and aggregation of the synaptic protein alpha-synuclein. 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
4-year PhD Studentship: Elucidating the inflammatory crosstalk between Coronary Artery Disease and Alzheimer's Disease
There is now substantial data demonstrating an association between high morbidity and mortality cardiovascular diseases (such as atherosclerosis and atherosclerotic aneurysms) with the onset of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly those characterised by neuroinflammation such as Alzheimer's Disease. Read more
Investigating the link between amyloid-β oligomers, neuroinflammation and cognitive deficits in preclinical models for Alzheimer’s Disease
Currently four out of the five pharmacological treatments used for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors aimed at boosting the amount of acetylcholine in the brain, with the fifth being an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. Read more
Neuroimmunology of concussion
Concussion, or mild traumatic brain injury, affects millions world-wide each year. It is now appreciated that a history of concussion increases the risk of developing long-term emotional and neurocognitive disorders. Read more
Cell models to investigate mechanisms of disease; the role of redox in neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration
We use cell models of neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration to study the mechanisms that underpin diseases like schizophrenia and dementia. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Apolipoprotein E-targeted stem cell gene therapy for people with Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating progressive neurological disease, and a major increasing global health challenge. Read more
Apolipoprotein E-targeted stem cell gene therapy for people with Alzheimer’s disease
Perros Trust-supported 1 Year Full MSc R Scholarship for students of Black or Mixed Black Heritage backgrounds. Project Description. Read more
Generating a disease model for Alzheimer's Disease in non-human primates
Our lab is interested in understanding and treating a devastating neurodegenerative disorder, Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), in particular aspects relating to develop appropriate disease models for AD. Read more
PhD opportunities in Smart Technology Advancements for Health and Rehabilitation
Join this exciting and important research area and bridge the gap between clinical sciences, engineering and computing for sustainable developments in personal and community health needs. . Read more
Early life perturbations and neurological disorders in later life
The formation of the brain involves a complex choreography of events and players during development. While this process is continuous, there are however critical periods in which this process is particularly susceptible to perturbations. Read more
