Estimating the global cancer burden due to low levels of physical activity

Rationale. Around 40% of all cancers are thought to be avoidable by modification of lifestyle factors. Obesity has been found to be a risk factor for several cancers and was estimated to have caused around 3.6% of all new cancers which occurred in 2012. Read more

Metabolomic characterisation of adiposity across the life course

Project Background. There is evidence that adiposity, measured by body mass index (BMI), causally influences a range of health outcomes, but little understanding of the mechanisms driving BMI effects. Read more

Harnessing the genetics of DNA methylation to understand context-specific gene regulation in disease

Project Background. Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have discovered many genetic associations with health outcomes. However, most GWAS signals reside in non-coding regions and it is likely that GWAS variants confer their effects through a regulatory mechanism. Read more

Multimorbidity and pregnancy complications: exploring causal relationships and identifying therapeutic targets

Project Background. Multimorbidity is recognized as a major public health and clinical problem. It has been largely considered a problem of middle or older age, but emerging evidence suggests its presence at younger ages. . Read more

Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Digital Health and Care, University of Bristol

About the Centre. The future of Health is Digital – we urgently need new technologies for understanding, preventing, diagnosing and managing illnesses that affect millions of people, such as diabetes, depression and dementia. Read more

Understanding links between mental health and obesity over the life-course

Project background. Obesity and mental illness among the highest contributors to the global burden of disease, and research at their intersection has potential for especially high impact interventions. Read more

Gut Microbiome, Immune Response and Risk of Neuropsychiatric Conditions

Rationale. Low-grade systemic inflammation is associated with risk of neuropsychiatric conditions such as depression, schizophrenia, autism, with emerging genetic evidence suggesting a potentially causal role of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 6 (IL-6) in these conditions (1, 2). Read more

Identifying DNA methylation signatures of prostate cancer progression and mortality among patients with clinically confirmed, localised disease at baseline in a large prospective clinical trial

Rationale. 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 PCa cases are more aggressive and will progress to metastases, treatment resistance and death. Read more
