SELF-FUNDING MSc BY RESEARCH PROJECT: Bioengineering platelets for Blood Transfusions
Platelets are essential elements of the blood responsible for primary haemostasis. It is clear, however, that their role is much wider than just this, playing a critical element in aspects of angiogenesis, wound healing, tissue regeneration, tumour growth and metastasis and inflammation. 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
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. Read more
MSc BY RESEARCH PROJECT: Novel approaches to modulate platelet function and thrombosis in cardiovascular disease
Platelets are small cells in the blood that are that play an important role in stopping a bleeding but when inappropriately activated also contribute to thrombosis and cardiovascular disease. 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
SELF-FUNDING MSc BY RESEARCH PROJECT: Underlying mechanism of thrombogenesis in patients with severe coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19)
Severe coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2). Patients with COVID-19 are at significantly increased risk of thrombosis, which can be a challenge to manage and is associated with elevated mortality and morbidity. Read more

Last chance to apply
Zinc-mediated effects on the fibrin network and its importance in thrombotic disease
Applications are invited for a British Heart Foundation PhD studentship to start Sept/Oct 2023. The project will be supervised by Dr Alan Stewart in the School of Medicine at the University of St Andrews and is a collaborative project with Prof Ramzi Ajjan at the University of Leeds. 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
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
Dissecting the role of novel haematopoietic factors in development and disease
Blood is made up of different cell types with different functions, such as carrying oxygen (red blood cells), help with wound healing (platelets) and fighting infections (white blood cells). Read more
Modulating platelet reactivity to reduce the risks of heart attacks in acute coronary syndrome patients
Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide accounting for one-third of deaths. Platelets play a central role in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) through the development of arterial thrombosis. Read more
Single-Molecule Biophysics: Flow Molecular Dynamics simulation under shear condition for thrombosis and haemophilia study
Clotting and bleeding are two sides of a coin, leading to cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and haemophilia—the No.1 worldwide killer. Read more
