Control of skeletal muscle regeneration and aging by cell signalling
The ability of skeletal muscles to regenerate in response to injury, exercise, growth or disease depends on a population of adult skeletal muscle stem cells. Read more
Role of primary cilia in skeletal muscle stem cells and muscle regeneration.
Primary cilia are cellular organelles present at the surface of many cell types in vertebrates. In recent years, they have been shown to play essential roles in relaying signalling information from the environment to the cell. Read more
Bioengineered assays of vascularised and innervated human skeletal muscle injury
Project detail. 3D bioengineered skeletal muscle models can be used as experimental test beds, with published work recreating exercise, injury and regeneration. Read more

Systems approach to dissecting the processes underlying skeletal muscle fibre formation
This project is available through the MIBTP programme. The successful applicant will join the MIBTP cohort and will take part in all of the training offered by the programme. For further details. Read more
Multi-organ signalling and diseases. How maintaining skeletal muscle mass impacts the development of liver diseases
Skeletal muscle has a number of roles in the human body beyond locomotion. It has a vital role in controlling the metabolic activity the organism. Read more
Defining the metabolic and neuromuscular mechanisms of skeletal muscle adaptation to reduced physical activity and subsequent recovery throughout adult lifespan
Research Group:
PENRG - Physiology Exercise and Nutrition Research Group
Physical inactivity is the 4th leading cause of death in the world. People with the highest prolonged sedentary time have greater chance of developing health problems such as cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes, and a greater risk of dying younger. Read more
Nutritional determinants of skeletal development and bone loss: an investigation using a novel computer vision assessment of bone microarchitecture
Lead Institute / Faculty: MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Centre, Faculty of Medicine. . Main Supervisor: Professor Nicholas Harvey. Read more

Computer Vision with Deep Learning for Human Data Modelling
This project focuses on the research of deep learning algorithms to model human data such as human images/video, 3D skeletal motion, 3D body/facial surfaces for computer vision tasks such as recognition, prediction and reconstruction. Read more
Musculoskeletal Bioengineering: A Model for Exercise, Injury, Disease and Regeneration
Situated within the world-leading School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences at Loughborough University, the research team led by Professor Mark Lewis has over 25+ years of experience in bioengineering of functional tissue engineered musculoskeletal constructs. Read more
Synergist effects of krill oil and krill protein on muscle mass/function and muscle protein metabolism
The age-related loss of muscle mass and function, sarcopenia, has several deleterious effects, such as a reduction in the quality of life and increased incidence of falls, often leading to hospitalisation. Read more
Fin, heart and muscle regeneration in zebrafish
The zebrafish research group of Prof. Anna Jazwinska at the Department of Biology, University of Fribourg, Switzerland. is looking for a motivated PhD student with an interest in. Read more
Statistical genetics approaches to investigate autoimmune inflammatory muscle disease for precision medicine
Keywords. statistical genetics, precision medicine, autoimmune, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, myositis, disease classification, machine learning. Read more
Multiscale Modelling of Natural, Living and Engineering Systems
The analysis and design of complex systems requires not only the ability to understand the functionality of the system as a whole but also the ability to design and optimize components and subsystems that gives rise to the emergent properties. Read more
