Stress and health: Lifespan stress and cardio-metabolic disease risk pathways through cardiovascular stress reactivity
Research Group:
SPARKLE - Stirling Physical Activity Research, Knowledge & Learning Exchange
There are large physiological variations in how individuals respond to stressful stimuli which have important health and behavioural implications (Carroll… Read more
Understanding the impact of nutrition on cognitive and cerebral function during episodes of mental stress
The impact of diet on mental health and brain performance is a topic of growing focus and concern. diets rich in saturated fats have been associated with a significant risk for cognitive decline later in life (1,2), whilst healthier diets, rich in plant polyphenols are linked to reduced risk of dementia (3).

“That food destresses my brain”: does linking food choices to reductions in brain stress improve adherence to dietary goals?
Project description. Mental stress is increasingly prevalent in our societies, particularly in the UK, where 74% of the population reports feeling stressed at work. Read more
Temperature and heat stress in tropical forests - SENSE CDT
Background & Motivation. Temperature shifts as a result of climate change and deforestation are set to increase the risk of heat stress in many tropical forests[1]. Read more
The cellular response to stress: roles in disease and ageing
All living organisms need to adapt to their environment in order to survive and reproduce. They are subjected to many stresses including altered oxygen levels, heat or cold, irradiation, infection and injury. Read more
“Home Continence Stress Test” a Novel Objective Assessment Tool for Female Stress Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common and debilitating condition that affects over 6million UK women over the age of 40years. UI leads to embarrassment, low self-esteem, social isolation, and reduced productivity. Read more
In vivo analysis of stress system dynamics. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2024/25 Entry, PhD in department of Clinical and Biomedical Sciences.
About the GW4 BioMed2 Doctoral Training Partnership. The partnership brings together the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff (lead) and Exeter to develop the next generation of biomedical researchers. Read more
The effect of stress on head and neck cancer patients: laboratory and clinical aspects.
The aim of the lab part of this project is to further investigate. Read more
Chaperones and the response to protein misfolding stress
Misfolded proteins are usually refolded to their functional conformations or degraded by quality control mechanisms. When misfolded proteins evade quality control, they form aggregates that are sequestered to specific sites within cells. Read more
Stress-strain measurements on high-temperature superconductors
The goal of this project is measurement of stress-strain relationships of high-temperature superconductors. Read more
Identification of phosphatases that inactivate the endoplasmic reticulum stress sensor Ire1
A self-funded PhD studentship is available in the group of Dr. Martin Schröder in the Department of Biosciences at Durham University to study stress signalling mechanisms originating from the endoplasmic reticulum. Read more
Mechanisms of Interoception and Stress in Medically Unexplained Symptoms
Throughout history, the interrelatedness of mind and body has been known to physicians and patients for millennia. Read more
The role of RNA-binding proteins in determining pancreatic beta-cell fate and diabetes
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a significant determinant in the development of type-1 and type-2 diabetes as it has been shown to promote the dysfunction and death of insulin secreting pancreatic beta cells. Read more

Understanding the role of integrated stress response in human hair follicle health and ageing
This is a BBSRC Industrial CASE studentship based the University of Manchester in collaboration with Unilever to investigate the role of integrated stress response in human hair health and ageing. Read more
Interfacial flows of yield-stress fluids
The proposed research is focused on interfacial flows of yield-stress fluids. These materials start to flow when a sufficiently large stress is applied to them but behave as solids otherwise. Read more
