Identifying the critical downstream targets of sustained ROS production during caudal fin and heart regeneration in zebrafish
A primary goal in regenerative medicine is to identify and implement novel treatments aimed at improving our ability to regenerate injured, diseased or aged tissues and organs, including the heart. 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
Using zebrafish models to investigate cerebral arteriovenous malformations
Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations (cAVM) relate to a spectrum of conditions associated with blood vessel abnormalities of the brain [1]. Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project: How do pancreatic cancers invade and activate nerves: towards treatments for cancer-associated pain
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 20 studentships for entry in September 2024. Read more
Understanding Spinal Cord Regeneration: The role of dynamic gene expression
Spinal cord injury(SCI) paralysis is a devastating disease that affects at least 2500 people per year in the UK. It carries substantial individual and societal costs with most SCI sufferers experiencing chronic pain. Read more
PhD in Infection, Immunity, Antimicrobial Resistance & Repair - Developing virus-based cancer vaccines with molecular enhancers
Summary. Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionised the field of oncology. This project uses molecular enhancement of an established vaccine platform to develop cancer vaccines with increased potency. Read more
Investigating monogenic disorders of the protein synthesis machinery
Translation of mRNA into proteins is a critical cellular biological process. We recently described a novel human disorder, now called Faundes-Banka Syndrome (FABAS), caused by heterozygous variants in EIF5A1 that encodes a translation factor. Read more
Transcriptional control of vascular development
Sprouting of new capillaries from pre-existing vessels (angiogenesis) promotes the formation of almost all blood vessels during development, growth and tissue regeneration. Read more
Investigating the role of bulk cytoplasmic flow in germ granule transport during early zebrafish embryogenesis
A 3-year doctoral studentship is available for highly motivated candidates with a background in Mathematics, Engineering and/or Physics, to work on an interdisciplinary project applying active soft matter physics to cellular activity in embryos. Read more

Applied optogenetics to study the influence of neuronal activity on neurodegeneration
Optogenetic approaches use genetically encoded, light-inducible proteins that can be expressed in specific tissues and cell types (e.g. Read more

Investigating mechanisms of non-synaptic neurotransmission in vivo
Research Group:
Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences
🌟 Unlock the mysteries of non-synaptic neurotransmission 🌟. Read more
The analysis of HIF function in DNA repair and genome stability
DNA damage is a factor that underlies many human diseases. Such damage results in mutations, and if such genetic alterations occur in tumour suppressor or proto-oncogenes it can lead to cancer. Read more
Investigate neuron-glia interactions in MND using advanced molecular and microscopy techniques
This project aims to characterise some of the fundamental interactions between motor neurons and glial cells (microglia, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes) in the CNS. Read more
Identifying Novel Genes and Developing Treatments for Children with Inherited Neuromuscular Diseases
Inherited neuromuscular disorders are disabling, progressive, often fatal conditions, representing an enormous unmet medical need with devastating impacts on affected families, the healthcare system, and the economy. Read more
