stroke PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 66 stroke PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Development of 'human stroke-on-a-chip' model to replace rodent stroke models
Thousands of agents are neuroprotective in animal stroke models but have not translated to the clinic, at least in part due to species divergence. Read more
Keep On Keep Up for Stroke Survivors (KOKU4Stroke): An investigation of the usability and acceptability of a digital rehabilitation program to train balance and strength and fitness in stroke survivors (Ref: SF24/HLS/SER/MOORE)
Northumbria University is a research-intensive modern University, ranked 23rd in the UK for Research Power in the recent Research Excellence Framework (REF2021). … Read more
Impact of Sensory Loss (Vision and Hearing) on Functional Outcomes and Quality of Life after Stroke
Stroke can cause a range of sensory impairments (Connell, 2007; Hazelton et al., 2022; Sullivan & Hedman, 2008), including visual deficits such as visual field loss and eye movement disorders (Sand et al., 2013), as well as hearing loss (Bamiou, 2015). Read more
PhD Opportunity - Developing Therapeutic approaches for haemorrhagic stroke
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Research area. Mouse genetics, haemorrhagic stroke, molecular cell biology, extracellular matrix, vascular disease, collagen, endoplasmic reticulum stress. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Investigating mechanisms of stroke and small vessel disease
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Project background. Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability and there is a real need for the development of new treatments. Read more
Stroke in South Asian populations
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the commonest cause of disability. The World Health Organisation estimates that by 2050 around 80% of the entire world’s burden of stroke will be in India and China. Read more

Robotics and AI for stroke rehabilitation
This PhD will develop a connected device and individualised multi-modal rehabilitation protocol to aid the recovery of unilateral spatial neglect in adult stroke patients. Read more
Biomedical Control Systems
Developing effective, inexpensive systems for stroke rehabilitation is an urgent, worldwide problem. This PhD research project will develop rehabilitation systems that use functional electrical stimulation (FES) to artificially activate muscles via surface electrodes placed on the skin. Read more
Development of a zebrafish model to understand non-traumatic spinal cord injuries: spinal strokes
Spinal cord (SC) injuries(SCI) are devastating affecting at least 4400 people per year in the UK. It carries substantial individual and societal costs with most SCI sufferers experiencing chronic pain. Read more
