University of Edinburgh College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine
  Research Group: Centre for Medical Informatics
  Dr M Bernabeu, Dr T Krueger
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Background. The human placenta performs diverse functions later taken on by several different organs. In particular, it mediates the exchange of vital solutes, including respiratory gases and nutrients, between the mother and the developing fetus.

University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
  Dr I Chernyaysky, Prof O Jensen, Dr E Johnstone
Applications accepted all year round
A complex multiscale relationship between the structure and function is common in many human organs (such as the lung, liver and placenta), and many diseases are associated with an imbalance in the relationship.

  Impact of intermittent maternal fasting on placental calcium transport and fetal skeletal development
University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
  Dr J Glazier, Dr N Ashton
Applications accepted all year round
Many pregnant women fast during the holy month of Ramadan despite being exempt. As the fetus relies upon the mother for its supply of nutrients, fasting is likely to affect development of the fetus.

  MicroRNA evolution in placental mammals: Unravelling conservation and divergence in their regulatory mechanisms in early pregnancy in different placental mammals.
University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: BBSRC White Rose DTP
  Dr N Forde, Dr M. O'Connell, Prof K.A. Forbes
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
This project brings together, in a novel manner, the research areas of placental and uterine biology, computational molecular evolutionary biology, as well as microRNA regulation to understand how miRNAs may have contributed to the emergence of placental mammals.

  Using our expertise to develop future scientists - BHF Four Year Programme
University of Leeds
Our Programme. Soon 1 in 10 UK adults will have diabetes. In spite of modern treatments, most of these people will suffer major cardiovascular problems, including heart attack and stroke impairing their quality of life and survival.

  Impact of maternal intermittent fasting on cognitive development
University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
  Dr N Ashton, Prof J Neill
Applications accepted all year round
Many pregnant Muslim women take part in the daily fast during the month of Ramadan, even though they are exempt. The long term effects on the child are not fully known; however an association between exposure to fasting in utero and an increased incidence of mental impairment in children has been shown.
