Paediatric to Adult intenSive care tranSition for chronicAlly critically ill younG pEople: The PASSAGE Study
Transition of children and young people (CYP) from paediatric to adult health services is of significant concern due to improved survival of CYP with chronic conditions. Read more
Investigating the role of novel and established plasma biomarkers in the evaluation of heart failure in children with heart disease
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
This project will use plasma samples of children with congenital heart disease to evaluate the role of novel and established cardiac biomarkers in identifying and monitoring paediatric heart failure. Read more
Liquid biopsy biomarkers for early detection of paediatric brain tumours
Over the past four decades, significant advancements have been made in the treatment of childhood cancer, leading to a substantial increase in cure and survival rates. Read more
Bio-fabricating constructs suitable for pulmonary valve replacement therapy in paediatric patients with congenital heart defect
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the primary cause of infant deaths in Europe and North America. The primary treatment for CHD is surgery but the major problem with surgery for such defects is the lack of living replacement materials with the capacity of growth and regeneration. Read more
DPhil in Paediatrics and MSc (by Research) in Paediatrics
The Department of Paediatrics is a world leader in child health research. Our work spans from early proof-of concept fundamental science all the way up to its application in clinical settings. Read more
Reducing pressure injury in critically Ill hospitalised infants, children and young people: An intervention bundle development and feasibility testing study.
Project Description. The development and prevention of pressure injuries (PI) is a complex phenomenon, dependent on a wide variety of extrinsic and intrinsic risk factors. Read more
MAC4ME: Macrophage metabolism and ageing in the brain metastatic microenvironment of neuroblastoma in response to therapy using 3D in vitro models
Cancer and the long-term toxicities sustained from treatment remain a public health issue for adult and paediatric patients. The spread of tumour cells is believed to account for up to 90% of cancer-related morbidities. Read more
PROMIS Scale Validation in Clinical Trials of Common Musculoskeletal Injuries (NDORMS-2025/7)
Patient-reported outcomes are included in randomised clinical trials (RCTs) as primary or secondary endpoints to measure the impact of interventions and are increasingly recognised by regulators, clinicians, and patients as valuable tools that ensure comprehensive assessment. Read more
The perception and effect of glare in normal vision and in developmental visual diseases
Open to applicants eligible for UK/Home fees only. Glare is a perceptual phenomenon leading to discomfort and impaired vision and can severely affect activities of daily living. Read more
Multiomics to decipher T cell development in the thymus
Project Overview. Ongoing projects in the Teichmann team are generating scRNA-seq and chromatin accessibility profiles of thymic cells using the 10X multiome kit, combined with multiplex protein staining. Read more
Novel diagnostics to assess the impact of turbulent flow in cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Recently, turbulence in blood flow has been linked with cardiovascular disease progression, however the underlying turbulence-related mechanisms are not well understood. Read more
The Holistic Microbiome in Health and Disease: Linking the Oral, Gut and Respiratory Microbiomes
The human gut microbiome is recognised as a major determinant of health and disease. Studies to date, including those of the international Human Microbiome Project, have largely focused on individual body sites such as nose or mouth or faeces. Read more
Evaluation of Tripterygium wilfordii derived compounds as novel treatments for medulloblastoma.
Medulloblastoma is the most common paediatric malignant brain tumour, accounting for 20% of childhood brain tumours cases per annum in the United Kingdom alone, with approximately one-third of patients dying from the disease worldwide. Read more
Determining the biological basis of observed clinical outcomes in juvenile idiopathic arthritis using genetics and multiomics
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis affecting children and young people with an age of disease onset less than 16 years of age. Read more
Early life factors in the development of Juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is an autoimmune inflammatory arthritis with disease onset before the age of 16. Children and young people with this condition develop painful swollen joints and untreated it can lead to long term disability. It may also be associated with comorbid conditions such as uveitis.
