retina PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 12 retina PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Investigating regulatory role of transposable elements in human retina during development and aging.
Project Overview. Age-related retinal degeneration is a leading cause of blindness and is linked to unhealthy aging and an increased risk of depression and social isolation. Read more
Precision Medicine DTP - Computer modelling of the retinal microvasculature: a move towards personalised management of kidney disease and brain health through improved understanding of vascular dysfunction and injury
Background. The retina, kidney and brain share similar microvasculature and vasoregulation [1]. Likewise, they are susceptible to microvascular dysfunction that can damage vessel walls and the endothelial cells lining them. Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Understanding how diabetes affects retinal cell crosstalk
We are inviting applications for a PhD research project to investigate how diabetes impacts communication between different cell types in the retina, which will enable to unlock new treatments for diabetic eye disease. Read more
EASTBIO: Determining the requirement for heterotypic Cadherin expression in fusing epithelia during embryonic development
This project aims to understand the requirement for heterotypic Cadherin expression in tissue fusion during embryonic development. Read more
University of Bath URSA Project: Training Explainable Spiking Deep Neural Networks
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
P7 - Investigating Retinal Regeneration Mechanisms Using Spatial Transcriptomics and Super-Resolution Imaging
The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, Spain, and BGI, China, are recruiting students to join the CRG-BGI Joint… Read more
Regulation of regeneration by TGFbeta and SFKs
Aquatic vertebrates such as amphibians and fish are able to regenerate complex structures including limb, tail, spinal cord, retina and heart. Read more
Precision Medicine DTP - Causal AI to discover mechanisms and surrogate markers of retinal and brain disease from observational datasets
Research Group:
Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences
Background. Microvascular diseases are important causes of illness and death. Examples include diabetes mellitus, stroke, and vascular dementia. Read more
Last chance to apply
Peptide-mediated delivery of CRISPR-Cas genome editors in the eye
Delivery of CRISPR editing systems in vivo is a major challenge for clinical translation and therapy development. Read more
Developing novel delivery systems for local administration of drugs to the eye
Regular intravitreal injections are a cornerstone treatment for various retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion. Read more
Common genetic origins of visual and neurocognitive disorders
There is emerging evidence that apparently distinct neurodegenerative diseases have common genetic origins. For example, genes such as ARMS2 and HTRA1, which are fundamental to regulating neuronal health, are implicated in both dementia and diseases of the retina (particularly age-related macular degeneration). Read more
Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a real time, non-invasive and non-contact imaging modality for translucent and transparent tissue capable of providing morphological images at the micron scale resolution at more than 1mm depth penetration. Read more
