Cardiac and skeletal muscle progenitor cells - driving regeneration ability by tryptophan metabolites
The School of Biomedical Sciences invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2023/24. Read more
Investigating skeletal muscle sex differences and the effects of gender transition SSEHS/HFD
Skeletal muscle is important for health maintenance as well as athletic performance. Understanding how skeletal muscle sex differences can impact function will allow us to create more specific interventions such as training programmes. Read more
Exploring novel molecular mechanisms of skeletal muscle disease in diabetes
Are you interested in metabolism and skeletal muscle biology? Are you interested in how muscle is damaged in metabolic disease? Do you want to contribute to the discovery of new therapeutics for muscle dysfunction in diabetes?. 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
3D-modeling of human skeletal muscle for in vitro functional assaying (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/SIMOES)
Muscle tissue are found throughout our body and is responsible for mobility, metabolism, and breathing. Read more
Molecular mechanisms of stem cell function in skeletal muscle ageing
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
Skeletal Muscle Organoid Models for Genetic Mitochondrial Disease (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/Johnson)
Genetic mitochondrial diseases are both clinically and genetically heterogeneous. Read more
The skeletal muscle epigenome and metabolism
This is a doctoral Cotutelle project between Deakin University (Australia) and Coventry University (United Kingdom). The successful PhD Student will be awarded a scholarship from Deakin University with the supervision team being drawn from Deakin University and Coventry University. Read more
Characterisation of the Fat Distribution within Skeletal Muscle
Fatty infiltration of skeletal muscle is associated with aging, fatigue and muscle atrophy. It has been shown that this infiltration is not uniform, varying both within and between muscle groups. 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
Application of OMICS to study the mechanism and impact of exercise and nutrition on the regulation of skeletal muscle mass, sarcopenia and frailty in older age and comorbidities (e.g., heart failure, dementia, COPD).
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
This is an Unfunded PhD student position. Students need to pay for tuition fee, bench fee, project costs and consumables. Detailed . Read more
Genetics: Investigating the functional effect of novel genes and genetic variants in malignant hyperthermia susceptibility using model systems
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is an inherited condition, where patients exposed to anaesthetic drugs are susceptible to a dramatic hyperthermic and hypermetabolic response that can contribute to a significant proportion of post-operative morbidity and deaths. Read more
Development of a new muscle mechanics model - mechanics of lower limb muscles during gait
The goal of this project is to build a new model of muscle contraction called the Active Spring Muscle Model (ASMM) and to verify the model in human gait mechanics. Read more
Better diagnosis and intervention for sarcopenia and frailty, and multimorbidity (cardiovascular disease, heart failure, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)) utilizing metabolomic.
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
Wide range of PhD topics and methodologies are available for those interested in older age and chronic disease. We are able to offer multidisciplinary projects for studies with human, animal models, metabolomics, and biology in relation to the advertise title. Read more
MSc by Research: Investigation of the interplay between the cell cycle and Notch intracellular domain levels in presomitic mesoderm cells in somitogenesis
One of the key processes in embryo development is somitogenesis. This is the formation of segments, known as somites, that go on to develop into bone and skeletal muscle. Read more
