Cardiology (p) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 47 Cardiology (p) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Disease mechanisms in the heart

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in inherited cardiac conditions (cardiomyopathies) and biomechanical stress signalling led by Dr Katja Gehmlich (https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/cardiovascular-sciences/gehmlich-katja.aspx). 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

Investigating the impact of inflammation on cardiovascular disease

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in cardiovascular inflammation and immune-mediated chronic inflammatory diseases to join the group of Dr Asif Iqbal (Dr Asif Iqbal - Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences - University of Birmingham). Read more

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

The Role of Reactive Sulfur Species in the Ageing Heart

Second Supervisor. Prof Melanie Madhani, University of Birmingham. Background . Ageing is a natural and complex biological process that involves the gradual deterioration of cells, tissues, and organ systems over time, thus leading to an increased susceptibility to diseases and mortality. 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

Modelling blood motion in deformable vessels

This project aims to introduce a novel approach in studying blood flow in deformable vessels by simultaneously considering both the fluid (blood) and the structure (vessel) through analytical and numerical approaches. Read more

Platelets in health, ageing and disease: new diagnostics and treatments

Platelets are small blood cells that play a vital role in the chronic and acute progression of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), and also have roles in immunity, inflammation, cancer metastasis, Alzheimer's disease and a range of infections, such as dengue, HIV-1, malaria, and COVID-19. 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
