platelet PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 14 platelet PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Platelet (dys)function in early pathophysiology of neurodegeneration
This project provides an annual stipend of £19,237. . Project advert. This PhD project explores how platelet function, which triggers blood clotting, contributes to early neurodegenerative processes, focusing on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and potential progression to dementia. Read more
Platelets in health, ageing and disease: new diagnostics and treatments
Platelets are small blood cells that play a vital role in the chronic and acute progression of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), and also have roles in immunity, inflammation, cancer metastasis, Alzheimer's disease and a range of infections, such as dengue, HIV-1, malaria, and COVID-19. Read more
Investigating Platelet and Megakaryocyte Signalling Using Advanced Microscopy Techniques
Investigating Platelet and Megakaryocyte Signalling Using Advanced Microscopy Techniques. Read more
Application of advanced microscopy to study platelet function
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in microscopy and cardiovascular research to join the research groups of Dr Steve Thomas and Professor Dirk-Peter Herten (https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/cardiovascular-sciences/thomas-steve & https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/cardiovascular-sciences/herten-dirk-peter).

Mapping platelet heterogenous response to the alarmin S100A8/A9 using correlative super resolution microscopy
Research interests/description of main research theme. We invite applications from UK home students for a PhD studentship in Cardiovascular Sciences at the University of Birmingham funded by the British Heart Foundation. Read more
Using CRISPR in iPS cells to modify platelet function
Project Overview. Platelets are the small cells in the blood whose job it is to prevent bleeding. Under normal conditions, when they encounter a damaged blood vessel they become activated and form a thrombus. Read more
Systems level analysis of platelet signalling
We are interested in how intracellular signal transduction networks bring about complex biological behaviours in cells. We do this by combining computational biology with wet laboratory experimentation. Read more
The regulation of platelet function - towards new strategies to prevent thrombosis
Project Overview. Platelets perform a pivotal role in the regulation of haemostasis, a physiological response to injury that prevents excessive bleeding. Read more
Platelet-cell interactions: Platelets beyond thrombosis and haemostasis
Platelets play a key role in the prevention of bleeding following blood vessel damage. In addition to this important role, platelets also impact the… Read more
Investigation of the critical roles of platelets at the interface between thrombosis and inflammation in order to develop improved therapeutic strategies for the treatment and/or prevention of cardiovascular/inflammatory diseases
Platelets (small circulating blood cells) are involved in blood clotting to prevent excessive bleeding, however, their inappropriate activation under pathological conditions leads to thrombosis resulting in major cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Read more
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of thrombosis and haemostasis
Project Overview: . The risk of heart attack or stroke is elevated in obesity and in people with metabolic disorders such as diabetes. Read more
Machine learning to predict blood function – towards better haematology analysis
Blood represents a complex mixture of blood cells, plasma proteins, hormones, lipids, salts and water. Blood is good indicator of health, and clinically, blood samples are taken frequently to monitor health, risk of disease or success of treatments. Read more
Addressing Shoulder Pain: Single-cell led repurposing of injectables for subacromial impingement syndrome (NDORMS-2025/10)
This full-time DPhil post at the Botnar Institute will use cutting edge laboratory and computational methods to interrogate the mechanisms underlying shoulder pain. Read more
Exploring the links between cardiac arrhythmias and mitochondrial dysfunction
Mitochondria play a central role in the maintenance of homeostasis in cardiomyocytes by regulating several key processes, (e.g. cellular energetics, metabolism, and cell death). Read more
