Using multi-omics to improve prediction and early diagnosis of pregnancy complications
The MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit at the University of Bristol is the leading group for the development and application of causal analysis and evidence triangulation in health research to improve lives. Read more
Anticipating and experiencing pregnancy and childbirth in women with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: expectations and experiences
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional structural disorder of the spine. The cause is unknown, but increased incidence at puberty is thought to be linked to rising hormone levels and irregular development of muscles around the spine. Read more
Making healthy babies – an exploration of barriers and facilitators to optimising pre-conception Health
Preconception health can influence outcomes in pregnancy as well the future wellbeing of the child. Several national and international policies have highlighted the need to improve preconception health at the individual level. Read more

Enhancing Women’s Access and Experiences of Care during Pregnancy through Digital Health Technologies [Self-Funded Students Only]
Research Group:
Cybersecurity, Privacy and HCC Research Section
This project is in collaboration with the University of Leicester, the University of Cape Town, and the broader EPSRC/GCRF funded UK-South Africa CoMaCH Network on Co-designing community-based digital health interventions for maternal and child health. Read more
Individual risk prediction modelling in pregnancy; the development and validation of algorithms for the future use in clinical practice
Clinical prediction models (CPMs) are mathematical models/algorithms that take what we know about a person and predict the probability of experiencing a subsequent outcome using a regression model or algorithm. Read more
Digital twin for personalised uterine pregnancy model
Pregnancy is a challenging process to model and replicate due to the complex physiological changes and adaptations. Much is yet to be learnt about pregnancy and why it could go wrong sometimes and lead to conditions such as pre-term birth, which could cause life-long adverse conditions for the baby. Read more
Towards a better understanding of Delayed Villous Maturation – A Placental Disorder associated with Stillbirth
Delayed villous maturation (DVM) describes a condition in the placenta that is usually seen after 36 weeks and rarely before 34 weeks of pregnancy. Read more
Investigating the mechanisms contributing to placental dysfunction in pregnancies complicated by diabetes: role of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway
Maternal diabetes is a major risk factor for fetal overgrowth, which is associated with poor outcomes including stillbirth, neonatal morbidity and increased risk of diabetes in adulthood. Read more
Trying to conceive after miscarriage: What are the advice and support needs for women in the context of the preconception health agenda
One in 5 women will experience miscarriage and of these around 50% will consequently experience psychological distress (Athey & Spielvogel, 2000). Read more

Non-invasive characterisation of brain cancer tissue microstructure from MRI using Deep Learning
The non-invasive characterisation of biological tissue microstructure in vivo is of upmost importance to medicine, neuroscience, and basic biological research. Read more
Artificial Intelligence with Human In The Loop for Automated Medical Image Contouring in Precision Oncology
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) yields quantitative images of regional in-vivo biology and biochemistry in the form of radioactive uptake, whilst Computed Tomography (CT) provides detailed anatomical images of anatomy. Read more
Investigating the imaging properties and dosimetry of long-lived PET isotopes for cancer detection.
The internationally leading PETIC facility at Cardiff has the capability of developing new tracers to tackle key problems in diagnostic medicine. Read more
Cancer Patients Digital Twins to Investigating disease fragmentation and its impact on drug response in AML trials
Not all patients respond equally to the same treatments. This project aims to explore if there are clues in a patient’s genome that can predict how they will respond to different treatments and are there common genomic signatures that will influence response to chemotherapy. Read more
