Cell Biology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Bristol
We have 17 Cell Biology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Bristol
Self-funded PhD- Understanding Cell Biology through Imaging
We study the trafficking and interaction of molecules and structures inside cells. Extracellular signals need to be processed in a correct manner for a cell to function properly. Read more
Self-funded MSc R: Understanding Cell Biology Through Imaging
We study the trafficking and interaction of molecules and structures inside cells. Extracellular signals need to be processed in a correct manner for a cell to function properly. Read more
Identifying the causes and cellular effects of Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)
A major factor in morbidity and mortality worldwide is end stage renal disease (ESRD). At least 10% of ESRD is caused by focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a form of steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. Read more
Self-funded PhD/MScR - Synaptic plasticity and microRNA-dependent regulation of translation
Changes in synaptic strength underlie the formation of neural circuits during development and their modification in learning and memory processes. Read more
Exploring the similarities between neointimal formation after vascular injury and tumour growth
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation leads to intimal thickening, which causes reoccurrence of symptoms (restenosis) in 30-50% of coronary artery disease patients receiving saphenous vein grafts and individual receiving stent implantation. Read more
Self-Funded PhD - Developing ex vivo assays for drug development in kidney disease
Kidney disease is a UK health emergency with more than 10% of the population having chronic kidney disease (CKD). The annual cost of managing kidney disease in the UK is £7billion, equating to 3.2% of NHS budgets. Read more
Exploring 3D bio-printing technology for fabrication of cardiovascular tissue
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the primary cause of infant deaths. 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
Bio-fabricating constructs suitable for pulmonary valve replacement therapy in paediatric 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
Assessing neuroinflammation and vascular dementia in association with atherosclerosis and aneurysm risk
There is now substantial data demonstrating an association between high morbidity and mortality cardiovascular diseases (such as atherosclerosis and aortic aneurysms) with the onset of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly vascular dementia. Read more
Exploring the contribution of divergent neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s disease
There is accruing evidence demonstrating an association between neuroinflammation with the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Read more
Does the brain renin angiotensin system influence the occurrence of depression in Alzheimer’s disease?
In the last decade the involvement of imbalance in counterbalancing arms of the brain Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) has been found to be a significant factor in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Read more
Why does ultrasound change brain function? The cellular and molecular mechanisms of neuromodulation by transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (tFUS)
Transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (tFUS) is as a major non-invasive neuromodulator used for experimental (Folloni et al., 2019; Yaakub et al, 2023) and therapeutic (Jeong et al., 2021; Lee et al., 2022) purposes. Read more
Identifying causal risk factors for disease progression
Rationale. Typical epidemiological studies aim to identify causal risk factors for onset of disease by comparing diseased cases with disease free controls. Read more
Self-funded PhD- Exploring the Mechanisms of Bacterial Pathogen Entry and Colonization in Plants through Wounds
How bacterial pathogens enter and colonise plant via wounds?. Wounding of plants by hard wind, hail, heavy rain, sand storms, and frost is common in nature. Read more
Self-funded MSc R- Understanding tumour-mediated suppression of cytotoxic T cell function by rebuilding suppression in vitro
Summary. Cytotoxic T cells have the capability of killing tumour target cells. However, this ability is commonly suppressed within the tumour microenvironment. Read more
