PhD Global Excellence and Mobility Scholarship (GEMS 2026). Research Project: Mesenchymal Stem Cell Exosomes for Alzheimer’s Disease: Mechanisms, Pathway Analysis, and Intranasal Delivery

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) causes progressive dementia, and current treatments only slow symptoms. Overactive microglia drive AD pathology, making them key therapeutic targets. Read more

Harnessing Regenerative Gene Therapy for the Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease

  Research Group: Nanomedicine and biotherapeutics
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic airways disease caused by mutations in a cAMP-dependent chloride channel called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). In the lungs, defective ion channel activity and mucus obstruction results in chronic cycles of infection and inflammation, with tissue damage leading to progressive lung function decline and premature death.

The effects of Interleukin-1 primed mesenchymal stem cells on hypoxic-ischemic brain damage

  Research Group: Division of Neuroscience
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide but with limited therapies, thus new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr E Pinteaux, Prof S Allan, Prof C J Smith
