Noise induced hidden hearing loss in young adults
Many patients who visit audiological clinics and complain of difficulty listening in acoustically challenging environments do not show abnormalities on audiological tests. Read more
Brain Rhythms and Natural Language Processing (NLP)
The main goal of our research group (Neural Oscillations in Multisensory Communication Group at the Centre for Human Brain Health (CHBH), University of Birmingham) is to understand the brain’s information processing in human communication. Read more
Role of PAS-domain coantaining protein kinase in the regulation of feeding behaviour
In this project, we will probe the role of the energy sensing protein kinase, PAS-domain protein kinase (PASK) in energy sensing in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH). Read more
Self-funded research projects in the College of Health & Life Sciences
An opportunity for self-funded students to choose one of 30 exciting 3 year projects in the College of Health & Life Sciences. 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.

Assessing the Impact of Aggregation-Prone Proteins on the Mitochondrial-Metallome Interplay in a Novel 3D Spheroid Cholinergic Cell Model of Neurodegenerative Disease
Although showing diverse symptoms affecting cognition and movement, the brains of patients with neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) display similar neuropathological features namely protein aggregation within the brain. Read more
mRNA epigenetics: Charaterization of a novel layer of gene regulation for essential brain functions
For over 40 years we know about modified nucleotides in mRNA, but the functions for these essential modifications are largely elusive. Read more
Dynamic aquaporin-4 subcellular relocalisation in regulating brain fluid homeostasis
Aquaporins facilitate passive, bidirectional water transport in all cells and tissues. In the brain and spinal cord, aquaporin-4 facilitates the exchange of water across the blood-spinal cord and blood-brain barriers, controlling cell volume, extracellular space volume and astrocyte migration.

Finding the cause for chronic headaches in patients living with acromegaly
Severe headache is a symptom of acromegaly, where patients can manifest the whole range of headache disorders, which cannot be relieved by over-the-counter pain relief. Read more
Molecular genetic characterization of Drosophila reproductive behaviours for exploitation in insect population control
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
Female reproductive behaviours in most insects profoundly change after mating leading to rejection of courting males and induction of egg laying. Read more
BBSRC MIBTP - Identification of pathways deregulating neuronal ELAV/Hu RNA binding proteins and alternative splicing in neurodegeneration
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
ELAV/Hu proteins comprise a family of highly conserved neuronal RNA binding proteins important for the development of the nervous system and for neuronal functions. Read more
