PhD Studentship in Spine Biomechanics
Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of spine biomechanics, leading to the award of a PhD degree. The post is supported by a bursary and fees (at the home student rate). Read more
Anticipating and experiencing pregnancy and childbirth in women with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: expectations and experiences
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional structural disorder of the spine. The cause is unknown, but increased incidence at puberty is thought to be linked to rising hormone levels and irregular development of muscles around the spine. Read more

Development of Convolutional Neural Networks and Associated Error Estimation Techniques for Vertebral Segmentation in Axial Computed Tomography Image Slices
Research Group:
Division of Informatics, Imaging & Data Sciences
Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disorder that increases the risk of fractures and causes significant morbidity and mortality. Vertebral fractures (VFs) are often an early manifestation of osteoporosis but are significantly under-diagnosed in clinical practice. Read more
Failure analysis and design optimisation of the magnetic expansion controlled growing spinal rod medical implant (Advert Reference:RDF22-R/EE/MCE/FARHAD)
Medical implants have improved the quality of life for millions of human beings. However, the failure of the implants can be disastrous to the patients. Read more
Physical Characteristics of Lumbar Stress Fracture in Fast Bowlers
Project detail. Applications are invited for a PhD studentship supported by the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences and the England and Wales Cricket Board. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Role of SAFB proteins in the regulation of miRNA function and aetiology of Huntington's disease
RNA binding proteins (RBP) play a central role in cellular metabolism by orchestrating the complex interactions of coding, non-coding, structural and regulatory RNA species. 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
Computer-aided Detection of Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures in Clinical Images Using Convolutional Neural Network Constrained Local Models (CNN-CLMs)
Research Group:
Division of Informatics, Imaging & Data Sciences
Osteoporosis is a common, degenerative skeletal disorder that increases the risk of fractures and causes significant morbidity and mortality. Read more
Synaptic plasticity and microRNA-dependent regulation of translation
Changes in synaptic strength underlie the formation of neural circuits during development and their modification in learning and memory processes. Read more
PhD project - Design, Development and Pharmacological Evaluation of Novel Bioactive Benzocycloalkanones
The benzosuberan ring system is an attractive scaffold for pharmaceutical scientists, combining aromatic and aliphatic properties in a rigid bicyclic structure system. Read more
Investigating intracellular signalling mechanisms in the hippocampus: implications in memory formation and disease
Rationale. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are non-coding RNAs that mediate the silencing of specific messenger RNAs. miRNAs are involved in the regulation of all cellular processes and they are particularly important in coordinating gene expression and function in neurons (1). Read more
