Indoor temperature and air quality conditions in vulnerable settings in South Gloucestershire Council
University of Bristol’s Cabot Institute for the Environment and Elizabeth Blackwell Institute for Health Research are looking to recruit a PhD student in the area of Climate Change and Health. Read more
Predicting efficacy and safety of drugs using genetic and population data
A major factor influencing the cost of drugs is the high rate of failure during clinical trials due to inefficacy (failure to have the desired effect) or safety issues (adverse effects). Read more
A clinical study of the impact of seizures and epilepsy surgery on pattern separation memory that combines computational modeling, histopathology, and behavioural analyses.
Our ability to remember ‘where I put my car keys today’ as opposed to ‘where I put them yesterday’ depends on a computational process known as pattern separation. Read more
Realising the potential of data games to keep humans in the loop for the analysis of large and complex data sets in population health sciences
Population health science requires understanding a large and increasing amount of complex data, from complete human genomes and causal networks of the aetiology of disease, to open and unstructured data about community response to rapidly changing public health challenges. Read more
Using routine programmatic data to estimate trends in HIV incidence and evaluate the impact of interventions for achieving HIV elimination among people who inject drugs
International efforts to eliminate HIV/AIDS by 2030 are failing high-risk populations, particularly people who inject drugs (PWID), who frequently have high HIV prevalence[1]. Read more
Epigenetic control of transcription factor regulation of adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus
In the adult brain, new neurons are continuously generated in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). This neurogenesis process is highly regulated and consists of cell proliferation, neuronal differentiation, neuronal maturation and survival. Read more
Can transcranial ultrasound be used to change the course of neurodegenerative disease?
White matter impairments are a major component of various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease(1,2). White matter is composed of neuronal axons and their encasing myelin; a lipid-rich material produced by the oligodendroglia. Read more
Tackling falls and fracture in Parkinson’s
Half of all women, and 20% of men, aged over 50 years will sustain a fracture in their remaining lifetime. However, people with Parkinson’s disease (PwP) are particularly predisposed towards excess fall and fracture risk and subsequent hospital admission. Read more
An investigation into the performance of screening and diagnostic variables to predict 15-year prostate cancer mortality informing diagnostic and treatment strategies.
Prostate cancer is the UK’s commonest male cancer and represents a significant public health challenge. The UK National Screening Committee currently does not recommend prostate cancer screening1. Read more
Vascular endothelial glycocalyx dysfunction as a therapeutic target in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury
Sepsis is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (sAKI), associated with high morbidity and mortality.1,2 Unfortunately, there is no treatment for sAKI, current therapies are nonspecific and supportive of the vital organs. Read more
Pandemic Potential of Avian Influenza in the UK: Modelling Cross-Species Transmission and Spillover to Humans
The 2022 Avian Influenza outbreak in the UK is largest on record and the first time farm-to-farm transmission and animal-to-human transmission has been identified[1]. Read more
Understanding barriers and facilitators of dietary and lifestyle interventions to reduce side effects of treatment and improve outcomes in South Asian men with prostate cancer
Prostate Cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of male mortality, with 336,000 deaths worldwide each year (1). Although most PCa cases are indolent, slow-growing, and tend not to progress, a subset of cases are aggressive and progress to metastases, treatment resistance and death. Read more
The cost of highly hazardous pesticide self-poisoning in India
Over 700,000 people die by suicide annually and 80% of these deaths occurring in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Suicide by pesticide ingestion is the second most common means of suicide globally - 10-20% of all suicide deaths are by pesticide self-poisoning. Read more
Tissue-engineering constructs suitable for reconstructive cardiac surgery in patients with congenital heart defect
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the primary cause of infant deaths in Europe and North America. The primary treatment for CHD is surgery but the major problem with surgery for such defects is the lack of living replacement materials with the capacity of growth and regeneration. Read more
Respiratory and anaesthetic characterisation, animal well-being, and refinement of advanced cardiovascular research models in large animal
Supervisors. Vito Domenico Bruno (primary supervisor), Raimondo Ascione. Background. Millions of patients globally are still suffering with severe cardiovascular disease leading to death or debilitating complications such as myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, and limb amputation (1-2).
