Cardiology (development) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 21 Cardiology (development) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Investigating the mechanisms for cardiac fibrosis development and reversal

Research interests/description of main research theme. Fibrosis is a hard to treat condition of major socioeconomic importance, with ~45% of all deaths in the developed world being attributed to some type of chronic fibro-proliferative disease and is exemplified by heart disease. Read more

Development of a novel AI model for cardiovascular disease risk prediction by analysing retinal vascular structure and functional changes in blood flow

The Department of Eye and Vision Sciences at the University of Liverpool is inviting PhD candidates who are highly motivated in developing novel risk prediction model of cardiovascular disease (CVD) by analysing retinal images, contributing to a better understanding of relationship between the cardiovascular disease and the functional changes in blood flow. Read more

Investigating the link between chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease.

Research interests/description of main research theme.  Patients with chronic kidney disease are 40% more likely to develop cardiovascular disease, however, mechanisms driving the cardiovascular pathogenesis are unclear. Read more

The role of the extracellular matrix in cardiomyocyte developmental (SMITH_U24DTP1)

Primary Supervisor: Dr James Smith . Secondary Supervisor: Dr Iain Macaulay (EI) . Cardiomyocytes are the muscle cells of the heart, responsible for the production of contraction forces. Read more

Repurposing and enriching cardiovascular risk prediction model to identify people at risk of cancer – UCL (part of Health Data Research UK’s Big Data for Complex Disease Driver Programme)

Risk-stratified management of cardiovascular disease (CVD), where people without established disease receive preventative interventions and monitoring based on their 10-years predicted risk, has been highly successful to ensure healthcare resources are allocated to those most likely to benefit. Read more

Mechanisms underlying the effects of activated protein C (APC) in cardiac muscle

  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
APC is an anticoagulant enzyme that also exerts antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic and a variety of other cytoprotective effects in different tissues, where the mechanism of action is thought to involve the endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) and a protease activated receptor (PAR). Read more

Identifying novel inflammatory pathways and using them to develop new therapeutics

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in cardiovascular immunology, chronic inflammatory diseases (e.g., Atherosclerosis, psoriasis, other diseases with a chronic inflammatory component) drug discovery/ development of novel therapeutics, to join the Cardiovascular Immunology group led by Prof Ed Rainger. Read more

Exploring cardio-renal-metabolic interactions in patients with heart failure

Recent years have highlighted the connections and shared pathophysiology between heart failure, renal impairment, diabetes and obesity, particularly with the evidence of benefit in all of these areas with SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1-receptor agonists. Read more

In the game for life: Lifelong welfare, education and support for rugby players

Applications are invited for a fully-funded 3-year PhD to commence in October 2024. . The PhD will be based in the Faculty of Science and Health and the candidate will join the Physical Activity, Health and Rehabilitation Thematic Research Group. Read more
