Investigation of the critical roles of platelets at the interface between thrombosis and inflammation in order to develop improved therapeutic strategies for the treatment and/or prevention of cardiovascular/inflammatory diseases
Platelets (small circulating blood cells) are involved in blood clotting to prevent excessive bleeding, however, their inappropriate activation under pathological conditions leads to thrombosis resulting in major cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Read more
Statistical machine learning for computational neuroscience
This project will focus on signal processing in neuroscience applications using state-of-the-art statistical machine learning techniques. Read more
Using mathematical modelling and artificial intelligence to understand the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of coexistent atrial fibrillation and heart failure
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and has an increase in incidence and prevalence with each decade of adult life. Read more
Characterising blood-brain barrier formation and function using zebrafish to understand human vascular hyperpermeability
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selectively permeable network of blood vessels within the brain. This barrier is essential for central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis by controlling molecular flux between the blood and the brain and protecting it from pathogens and toxins. Read more
Understanding eye-hand coordination in object interception - a computational modelling approach
This PhD project with Dr Yeo will focus on understanding how we perform interception. Interceptive movements--such as catching a gently thrown ball, quickly grabbing a tilting cup to avoid spilling or even just handshaking someone--feel like trivial everyday tasks for us that seemingly look too simple to study.

Targeting protein acetylation to reduce microglia activation in neurodegenerative disorders
Recently, inhibitors of histone deacetylase enzymes (HDACs) have been identified as having potential therapeutic value for a range of neuronal disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and stroke [1, 2]. Read more
Understanding the link between healthy ageing and social interaction
Project Overview: . Healthy ageing is a priority research area since we are living longer than ever before. Read more
PhD opportunities in Cognitive Neuroscience
Join cognitive neuroscientists, clinical neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, neurophysiologists, psychopharmacologists, sports and exercise psychologists, and carry out cutting-edge interdisciplinary research to understand and restore human brain function and health. Read more
Understanding the Electric Field in Electrical Stimulation for Biomedical Applications
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a treatment that applies small electrical charges to a muscle that has become paralysed or weakened, due to damage in the brain or spinal cord. Read more
Understanding the interaction and functional mechanism of mitochondrial MIA pathway
Mitochondria are vitally important organelles of living cells, which generate the primary energy for all biological activities. Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to life threatening diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, stroke, and various neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Read more
Function Brain imaging in disease: what are the activation maps really telling us?
Functional brain imaging methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have already revolutionized how we can study the processes and functioning of the healthy human brain and are making an increasing impact on our understanding on what goes wrong in disease of the brain. Read more
Bioinformatics studies of protein structures, functions and their interactions
The computational study of protein structures, functions and their interactions is fundamental to our understanding of disease. Read more
