PhD Opportunity - NIHR 3 Schools Dementia PhD Studentship at University College London
We have an exciting, funded dementia PhD studentship available at UCL. Funded by the NIHR Three Schools' Dementia Research Programme the Doctoral Studentship will support an individual with a stipend and UK PhD fees for 3 years from February or May 2025. Read more
Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine Doctoral Training Programme in Medical Research (DTP-MR)
Come join our diverse and exciting research community of the University of Cambridge's School of Clinical Medicine! We are offering at least five fully funded four-year PhD studentships commencing in October 2025. Read more
DPhil in Surgical Sciences
The DPhil in Surgical Sciences is a full-time doctoral course offering research training across a range of scientific areas for both clinical and non-clinical graduates within an academic surgery department. 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
Investigating Novel Transcription of the X Chromosome and its Role in Developmental Disorders of the Human Brain
We hypothesise that annotation of genes and transcripts on the X chromosome is incomplete particularly in the human brain. Read more
Identification of Novel Mechanisms Supporting Axon Survival and Investigation of their Therapeutic Potential
Programmed axon death is a widespread and completely preventable mechanism in injury and disease (Coleman and Hoke, Nat Rev Neurosci, 2020). Read more
Understanding the biology of Foxp3+ CD8+ regulatory T cells and their potential role in multiple sclerosis
CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T-cells (Tregs) are the most well characterised suppressive cell type in the immune system, with potent roles in suppressing autoimmunity. Read more
Neural basis of Decision-Making
Every day, we face conflicting situations requiring us to prioritise one goal over others. Choosing the most optimal action is crucial for survival and can be impaired in neurological disorders such as depression and schizophrenia. Read more
IMAGE-D: Integrated Multimodal Analysis for Gaining Enhanced Understanding and Characterization of Dementia
Dementia encompasses various subtypes such as Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and frontotemporal dementia, each affecting different aspect of brain structure and function. Read more
Neurobiology of Consciousness
A significant challenge of contemporary neuroscience is to understand how the neurobiology and function of the human brain give rise to conscious experience. Read more
Mitochondrial Diseases and Immunity
Supervisor. Prof. Rita Horvath . Co-supervisor: Dr. Daniel Lagos . Mitochondria are specialised cell organelles which transform nutrients into energy. Read more
Inflammatory mediators of cerebral autoregulation in acute brain injury
Inflammatory Mediators of Cerebral Autoregulation in Acute Brain Injury” . Supervised by Mr Adel Helmy and Dr Peter Smielewski . Read more
Multimodal Neuroimaging in Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders
To improve our understanding of the progression of neurodegenerative disease, and the mechanisms involved, we need to combine different types of neuroimaging, and integrate it with clinical and genetic data. Read more
Gaining Control of Intracellular Stages for Amyloidogenesis via High-Resolution Optical Biosensing Approaches coupled to Nanobody-Based Protein Localisation Control
The project focuses on the intracellular stages of amyloidogenesis, aiming to unravel the complex mechanisms contributing to diseases such as Alzheimer's. Read more
Development of PET Radiotracers for Neuroinflammation
Our aim is to develop novel Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radiotracers for imaging the brain. PET is a non-invasive molecular imaging technique which enables visualization and quantification of various biological targets in vivo (e.g., receptor, enzyme). Read more
