Uncovering the molecular mechanisms underlying spinal cord regeneration
About 1200 people a year are left paralysed in the UK due to a Spinal Cord Injury (or SCI). This is because injuries involving the central nervous system (CNS) have very poor capacities to regenerate, thus resulting in a permanent loss of function. Read more
Molecular mechanisms for spinal cord repair after injury: from pharmacological treatment to spatial transcriptomics
Applications are invited for a 3-year PhD studentship to work in the Division of Neurology, Department of Brain Sciences, Faculty of Medicine of Imperial College London at the Hammersmith Hospital Campus. . Read more
Dynamics of neurogenesis during spinal cord regeneration
About 1200 people a year are left paralysed in the UK due to a Spinal Cord Injury (or SCI). This is because injuries involving the central nervous system (CNS) have poor capacity to repair or regenerate. Read more
Understanding Spinal Cord Regeneration: The role of dynamic gene expression
Spinal cord injury(SCI) paralysis is a devastating disease that affects at least 2500 people per year in the UK. It carries substantial individual and societal costs with most SCI sufferers experiencing chronic pain. Read more
Molecular mechanisms for spinal cord repair after injury: from pharmacological treatment to spatial transcriptomics
The project will investigate novel molecular mechanisms and therapeutic strategies to promote repair and regeneration in animal models of spinal cord injury and it will include cutting edge methodologies and approaches. Read more

PhD studentship - An investigation into mechanisms of spinal cord stimulation action using closed-loop and neuropathic pain models in rats
Overview. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is used as a safe and effective option for multiple, refractory, chronic neuropathic pain disorders, but the mechanisms of action of SCS are still to be fully elucidated. Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project: Brain stimulation and neurophysiological investigations of central nervous system changes in pathological pain, and their augmentation by treatment
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 20 studentships for entry in September 2024. Read more
Optimising functional independence across the life and healthspan using neurostimulation
Neuroplasticity is integral to recovery and maintenance of functional independence as we age, and even more crucial in individuals with developmental disorders such as Cerebral Palsy and those with injuries to their brain and/or central nervous system (Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke, MS). Read more
Dynamic aquaporin-4 subcellular relocalisation in regulating brain fluid homeostasis
Aquaporins facilitate passive, bidirectional water transport in all cells and tissues. In the brain and spinal cord, aquaporin-4 facilitates the exchange of water across the blood-spinal cord and blood-brain barriers, controlling cell volume, extracellular space volume and astrocyte migration.

Computer-aided Detection of Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures in Clinical Images Using Convolutional Neural Network Constrained Local Models (CNN-CLMs)
Osteoporosis is a common, degenerative skeletal disorder that increases the risk of fractures and causes significant morbidity and mortality. Read more
Multimodal Control of Prosthetic Limbs/Paralysed Muscles
This project aims to enhance the quality of life of patients with amputees, spinal cord injury, stroke and brain injury by developing advanced control strategies for artificial limbs. Read more
Understanding the Electric Field in Electrical Stimulation for Biomedical Applications
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a treatment that applies small electrical charges to a muscle that has become paralysed or weakened, due to damage in the brain or spinal cord. Read more
Unravelling the role of Lrig2 during neuromuscular development
Motor nerves connect the spinal cord and brain with muscles in our face, arms, legs and internal organs. The motor nerves send signals which tell these muscles to contract. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: The regulation of epithelial cell dynamics during zebrafish tail regeneration.
Aquatic vertebrates such as amphibians and fish are able to regenerate complex structures including limb, tail, spinal cord, retina and heart. Read more
