Biological Sciences (brain injury) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students

We have 16 Biological Sciences (brain injury) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students

Short and long-term genetic and behavioural consequences of traumatic brain injury in fruit flies

General background . How many fingers am I holding up? What day of the week is it? Follow my finger? These three questions are designed to test your sensory, memory and motor neural abilities following an accident; all three systems are affected by a severe deceleration of your brain. Read more

Beyond the phenotype: Predictors of mental health, sleep and neurobiological outcomes following mild traumatic brain injury

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is common with 1.4 million hospital visits due to head injury annually in the UK. Although classified as mild it leads to disproportionate impact on future health with 31% unable to work at 12 months. Read more

Low Glucose Levels in Babies

We know that low glucose levels in newborn babies can lead to brain injury, but we do not know how low these levels need to be for how long in which babies, and whether other factors also influence whether brain injury occurs. Read more

The role of MicroRNAs in neurodegenerative diseases

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in Neuroscience and Neurotrauma to join the team led by Dr Valentina Di Pietro (Dr Valentina Di Pietro - Institute of Inflammation and Ageing - University of Birmingham). Read more

Neonatal hypoglycaemia guidelines

Neonatal hypoglycaemia is the most common metabolic disturbance in newborns and a preventable cause of irreversible brain injury. Read more

17 Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) in the Institute of Industry and Innovation

The Institute of Industry and Innovation (I2RI) at Sheffield Hallam University intends to appoint up to 17 GTAs on 3.5 year fixed-term, full-time studentships from October 2024, with annual stipend at the living wage foundation rate (currently £19,722 in the academic year 23/24). Read more

Exploring Molecular Pathways for Improved Neural Regeneration in Spinal Cord Injury

In the UK, 50,000 people currently live with spinal cord injury (SCI), and an additional 2,500 new cases are reported annually. SCI results in a permanent loss of sensation and movement, serving as a primary cause of paralysis for which effective treatments are currently unavailable. Read more

Exploring the cellular and molecular mechanisms mediating myelin formation, injury and repair in the central nervous system

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research on glial cells and their involvement in mechanisms mediating central nervous system development, function and disease states to join the Oligodendrocyte and Myelin Research Group led by Dr Daniel Fulton. Read more

Optimising functional independence across the life and healthspan using neurostimulation

Neuroplasticity is integral to recovery and maintenance of functional independence as we age, and even more crucial in individuals with developmental disorders such as Cerebral Palsy and those with injuries to their brain and/or central nervous system (Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke, MS). Read more

3D printing spinal cords

Project Overview. This project offers an exciting opportunity to use hydrogels and 3D printing to engineer a segment of the spinal cord, which could be further developed into a transplant for patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Read more
