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
An exciting opportunity for a full-time PhD period of study is available in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Sport, University of Stirling. Read more
Mitochondria biogenesis and stress responses in health and disease
Maintenance of functional mitochondria is essential for life and an important therapeutic target in several diseases, including age-related neurodegenerative diseases. 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
Comparing the effects of face-to-face and ‘digital’ psychosocial stress
The working and social climate for the majority of people in UK has changed dramatically in recent months. Adapting to online working and socializing has added to the sources of potential stress in our lives. Read more
Exploring reactions under stress in the mantle using mineral analogues
Convection in the Earth’s mantle controls Earth evolution. Different mineral assemblages occur at different depths in the mantle and variations over short distances are detectable as seismic discontinuities, thus providing key information on mantle conditions. Read more

Are oxidative stress and dysregulated mitophagy involved in the progression of feline chronic kidney disease?
Feline chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a heterogeneous syndrome responsible for >1 in 8 deaths of cats over 5 years of age. Mineral bone disturbance… Read more
Understanding plant stress and senescence to reduce food waste and improve food security
*This is project is to be conducted as an MPhil*. Abiotic stress during crop growth results in extensive crop losses and is thus important for food security. 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
Adaptation to oxidative stress in hepatitis C virus persistence: the role of IRES-dependent translation.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes a clinically important disease affecting 3% of the world population (Chan 2014). About 75% of the infection will develop into chronic hepatitis, which can then progress into fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Read more
Modelling residual stress and mechanical performance of advanced joints for nuclear fusion
Nuclear fusion has the potential to offer sustainable and clean electricity. However, the engineering challenges associated with design, manufacturing and structural integrity of high value-added fusion components is yet to be overcome. Read more
