We have 16 platelet PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

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 signalling and thrombus formation

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in cardiovascular cell biology to work in the group of Dr Natalie Poulter, which focuses on understanding how platelets become activated and form a thrombus. 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

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

Diabetes and thrombosis: mechanistic links and novel interventional opportunities

Thrombosis is the occlusion of blood vessels by uncontrolled blood clotting and is a serious threat to patients with diabetes, 70% of whom succumb to a cardiovascular disease of thrombotic nature (e.g. Read more

Develop single-cell biomechanical nanotools for novel cardiovascular mechanobiology and cancer immunotherapy

In view of the high complexity and dynamics of protein complexes that perform important physiological functions, it is difficult to visualise and characterise their kinetic and signaling processes on single living cells using traditional biochemical and biophysical techniques. Read more

NIHR Leeds BRC: Pre-clinical evaluation of novel regenerative medicine strategies for knee osteoarthritis

Historically, articular cartilage was considered incapable of spontaneous repair.  However, biomechanical correction in osteoarthritis (OA) using high tibial osteotomy or joint distraction demonstrated the remarkable joint to regeneration by “merely” correcting joint alignment. Read more

Investigating the impact of inflammation on cardiovascular disease

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in cardiovascular inflammation and immune-mediated chronic inflammatory diseases to join the group of Dr Asif Iqbal (Dr Asif Iqbal - Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences - University of Birmingham). Read more
