Mechanisms of metabolic remodelling in obesogenic/diabetic cardiomyopathy
Obesity is a worldwide public health concern and is one of the co-morbidities associated with the development of type 2 diabetes. Read more
4 year PhD in Cardiovascular Science
The University of Edinburgh invites applications for a 4-year PhD programme in Cardiovascular Science. Research is focused on identifying causative mechanisms of cardiovascular disease. Read more
Investigating Platelet and Megakaryocyte Signalling Using Advanced Microscopy Techniques
Investigating Platelet and Megakaryocyte Signalling Using Advanced Microscopy Techniques. Read more
Supporting children with long-term health conditions to prevent and manage obesity
Children who are living with long-term medical conditions are a much greater risk for overweight and obesity compared to other children (Rimmer et al., 2007). Read more
Investigation of aortic remodelling in obesity and role of mitochondrial dysfunction
Obesity is a global healthcare and economic burden with currently more than 650 million adults classified as obese (WHO, 2017). Obesity is a common precursor to type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and both are risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease. Read more
Isolation and characterization of phytochemicals with insulin-releasing or glucose lowering effects for the treatment of type-2 diabetes
Research Group:
Biomedical Sciences
Before the discovery of insulin in 1922, diets and plant-based treatments were the common approaches to diabetes therapy. Read more
Parents perceptions of children’s weight and physical activities: Implications for childhood obesity
Background. Over the past few decades, there has been an upward continuous trend in the number of obese individuals worldwide (Nwoba et al., 2022). Read more
Effect of obesity on bone strength and implication on the risk of hip fracture
There is a clear and unmet need to address the diagnosis of hip fracture risk associated with osteoporosis. Whereas low weight is a well-documented risk factor for future bone fractures, a high body weight seems to protect against hip fracture. Read more
What works to prevent over-eating in preschool children with avid appetites?
Childhood obesity is one of the most serious public health challenges of the 21st century, placing children at high risk of diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some cancers. Read more
Brain regulation of obesity through appetite and metabolism
Project ID: SST_2_7. Body weight is regulated in the brain through appetite and energy expenditure, driving food intake and altering basal metabolism and physical activity. Read more
Testing the efficacy and mechanisms of the 'gravitostat' as a tool to support long-term weight loss in people with obesity SSEHS/JAK/2
Obesity is disease that adversely affects the physical and mental health of many people in low- and high-income nations. Whilst progress has been made regarding lifestyle approaches supporting weight loss, weight regain remains a key clinical challenge. Read more
Examination of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the introduction of a novel patient-centered community metabolic liver clinic
Background. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the UK due to the obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) epidemics. Read more
Funded MSc by Research: Uncovering the Pharmacology of GPR75: a Promising G Protein-Coupled Receptor Target for Metabolic Syndrome
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), due to their cell surface expression, their tissue-selective distribution and role in amplifying signalling events make them excellent pharmacological targets, hence over 30% of current approved drugs target GPCRs (1). Read more
MSc By Research: Investigating the role of anaerobic gut bacteria in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome, and its prevalence is increasing with parallel increases in obesity, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia. Read more
Making healthy babies – an exploration of barriers and facilitators to optimising pre-conception Health
Preconception health can influence outcomes in pregnancy as well the future wellbeing of the child. Several national and international policies have highlighted the need to improve preconception health at the individual level. Read more
