MSc by Research: Developmental impact of sugar on brain reward circuits
The MSc by Research programme at the University of Aberdeen is for students interested in a research-intensive master's degree. It is designed specifically to enhance your skills for a PhD or research career. Read more
A proliposomal strategy for enhancing solubility and absorption of drugs delivered from controlled release vaginal ring devices
Controlled release vaginal rings are used for long-term administration of drugs to the human vagina. Currently, eight ring devices have reached market, mostly focused on estrogen replacement therapy, hormonal contraception, and HIV prevention. Read more
Investigating the role of sphingosine-1-phosphate in obesity-associated metabolic disorders, and as a predictive marker for weight loss interventions
Project ID. HI_14. Theme. Health Innovation. It is known that obesity leads to many metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, liver disease and asthma due to increased systemic inflammation. Read more
Revealing the correlation between physiology and physical chemistry of microcalcification in connective tissue using AI supported tissue characterization.
Research Group:
Healthcare Engineering
A fundamental component of human body is connective tissue which serves various structural and supportive functions including skin integrity, abdominal wall enforcement and bone formation. Read more
How GABA neurones in the DVC control glucose metabolism
The Dorsal Vagal Complex (DVC) of the brain is an important regulator of glucose metabolism and food intake. The Nucleus of the Solitary Tract (NTS) in the DVC senses insulin and triggers a neuronal relay to decrease hepatic glucose production (HPG) in rodents. Read more
EPSRC supported EngD: Developing digital tools for sustainable surface cleaning towards net zero solutions
Surface cleaning is a key and fundamental process in many domestic and industrial applications. Despite considerable amount of research on cleaning, there exists some knowledge gaps about the microscale interactions between cleaning agents and foulants on the surface. Read more
An exploration of responders and non-responders to New Zealand blackcurrant intake on metabolic and cardiovascular responses
Use of dietary supplements as ergogenic aids is common among athletes to support training and enhance performance (Maughan et al 2011). Read more
Investigation of myocardial ischemic adaptation in the presence of comorbidity factors on in vitro cell culture models
Metabolic derangements, such as obesity or diabetes, are major risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. Read more
Cardiovascular and Neuromuscular Functions around the Clock: Harnessing Protective Endogenous Mechanisms towards Smarter Design of Novel Therapies and Interventions
Optimal tissue and organ is essential for long-term health and quality of life. One such important regulator within the body is related to circadian rhythms, which control ~24h cycles in many physiological processes such as sleep/wake cycles, physical activity/rest cycles, drug metabolism and hormones.

Examining the mechanisms that cause cardiovascular disease by studying the heart or adipose tissue
Heart failure has a serious impact on our society and once diagnosed has a poor survival rate. In the United Kingdom, there are about 1.5 million people living with the after-effects of a heart attack. Read more
