Identifying and validating digital biomarkers of frailty in Parkinson’s disease
Background. Frailty is a medical syndrome of physiological decline, accompanied by diminished resistance to stressors. Read more
Drug Development for Parkinson's Disease
PhD Student Position. Drug Development for Parkinson's Disease. The Brodski Lab. Our lab investigates the molecular mechanisms controlling the development, survival, and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, aiming to leverage our findings to develop novel therapies for dopamine-related disorders. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Deciphering molecular pathways underlying Parkinson's disease
There is great need for improved understanding of the mechanistic biology underlying Parkinson’s disease. Such knowledge will help with development of new drugs that slow or even halt the progression of the disease. Read more

Investigating Gut-Immune Interactions in Parkinson’s Disease (PhD only)
It is now well established that both gastrointestinal dysfunction and immune activation occur in early Parkinson’s disease, and emerging evidence indicates that these processes are linked to faster disease progression. Read more
Molecular mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease
There is great need for improved understanding of the mechanistic biology underlying Parkinson’s disease. Such knowledge will help with development of new drugs that slow or even halt the progression of the disease. Read more
Funded PhD open to UK-domiciled, home fee applicants of Black African, Black Caribbean or other Black or mixed Black heritage - Alternative mitochondrial destinations of PINK1 and its role in Parkinson’s Disease
Mitochondria are organelles of eukaryotic cells critical for energy production (ATP), metabolic regulation and biosynthesis. They are complex, dynamic structures composed of a double outer and inner-membrane, encapsulating an inter-membrane space (IMS) and the interior matrix. Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Digital outcome measures, functional imaging and molecular analysis to mechanistically stratify patients with Parkinson's disease
Background. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common, relentlessly progressive neurodegenerative condition. New approaches are required which will link the clinical phenotype with mechanistic readouts to stratify PD patients according to their underlying cause. Read more
Investigating the Role of Subcortical Visual Pathways for 'Blindsight' and Gist Perception in Parkinson's Disease Using Multimodal Neuroimaging and Computational Neuroscience
Parkinson's disease (PD) is primarily known as a movement disorder, but emerging evidence suggests that it might also significantly impact visual processing, specifically 'blindsight' and gist perception (Diederich et al., 2014;Uchiyama st al., 2012). Read more
Discovery of New Treatments for Parkinson’s disease
Summary. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurological disease in the world. Current PD therapies and medical interventions are very limited and only address the symptoms of this disease highlighting the need for new and effective treatments for this disease. Read more
Multi-modal assessment of Parkinson’s Disease to investigate the relationship between mobility and mitochondrial dysfunction - S3.5-SMP-Buckley
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterised by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the basal ganglia of the brain. Read more
Discovery of novel mitochondrial and organelle mechanisms underlying Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a movement disorder that is now the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world. Despite much research the disease is incurable and there are no treatments that can slow the disease down. Read more
S3.5-MAC-Bonci - Tremor in Parkinson’s disease subtypes: objective measures and classification
Following Alzheimer, Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative condition, with the fastest-growing incidence worldwide [1]. Read more

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a movement disorder that is now the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world. Despite much research the disease is incurable and there are no treatments that can slow the disease down. Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Seeing inside the Parkinson’s disease brain by in situ cryo-ET
Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) are characterised by the accumulation and spread of ⍺-synuclein filaments in the brain. Read more
