Novel risk factors for type 2 diabetes and other adverse cardiometabolic outcomes – handgrip strength and other markers of physical fitness
Project Description. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Older age, obesity and lifestyle factors such as physical inactivity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and unhealthy diet are major risk factors for T2D. Read more
Repurposing and enriching cardiovascular risk prediction model to identify people at risk of cancer – UCL (part of Health Data Research UK’s Big Data for Complex Disease Driver Programme)
Risk-stratified management of cardiovascular disease (CVD), where people without established disease receive preventative interventions and monitoring based on their 10-years predicted risk, has been highly successful to ensure healthcare resources are allocated to those most likely to benefit.

Flood futures: how is flood hazard risk evolving in the UK?
Project Highlights. Opportunity to develop strong skills in R programming, large data analysis, numerical modelling and cluster computing. Read more
Interplay of Heavy-tailedness and Tail dependence in extreme systemic risks: from static to dynamic evaluation
Although the integration of global markets leads to increasing economic efficiency and growth, extreme risk or crisis can spread from one market to another in a very short period of time. 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
Extending the use of the Leicester Diabetes Risk Scores with a focus on use in ethnic minority groups
Background. Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) is one of the most prevalent long-term conditions globally. However, options for identifying and preventing the condition have low uptake and underserve groups in greatest need. Read more
Tackling falls and fracture in Parkinson’s
Half of all women, and 20% of men, aged over 50 years will sustain a fracture in their remaining lifetime. However, people with Parkinson’s disease (PwP) are particularly predisposed towards excess fall and fracture risk and subsequent hospital admission. Read more
The Ethics of Communicating Scientific Risk
Scientific research is intimately bound up with risk. For one thing, scientific findings often reveal significant societal risks, such as risks of catastrophic climate change or dangerous disease outbreaks. Read more
Ontology Digital Twinning for Knowledge Modelling and Fusion in Building Risk Assessment and Insurance
Built on the initial work of ‘Applying AI to building blueprints for insurance risk assessment (AURIE)’, this project aims to develop an ontology digital twinning approach to construct the domain knowledge graphs for improved risk assessment and underwriting capability. Read more
Advancing primary prevention strategies for complex diseases – University of Cambridge (part of Health Data Research UK’s Big Data for Complex Disease Driver Programme)
HDR UK is funding six PhDs with leading UK universities and research organisations. This brand-new programme offers the chance to carry out a doctoral research project at the leading edge of health data science. Read more
ITCH-CF: Investigating The Cardiovascular Health of people living with Cystic Fibrosis in the CFTR modulator era
As life-expectancy improves for people living with cystic fibrosis (pwCF), new challenges in optimally managing an older, co-morbid population are likely to arise. Read more
Developing an interactive patient facing cardiovascular risk calculator to promote engagement and uptake of health behaviour change programmes.
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) cause a quarter (>160,000) of all deaths in the UK annually [1]. Read more

Civil Engineering: Fully Funded EPSRC DTP PhD Scholarship: Innovative flood risk mapping tool based on machine learning and hydrodynamic modelling
Funding providers: Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) DTP. Subject areas: Civil Engineering. Read more
THROMB-AI: Computational risk stratification of thrombus formation and lysis in post-stroke patients
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in developed countries. Often, the main pathological process responsible is the development of an arterial thrombus (or blood clot). Read more
Effect of obesity on bone strength and implication on the risk of hip fracture
There is a clear and unmet need to address the diagnosis of hip fracture risk associated with osteoporosis. Whereas low weight is a well-documented risk factor for future bone fractures, a high body weight seems to protect against hip fracture. Read more
