Biophysics (animal) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 15 Biophysics (animal) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

A 3D-Printed Blood-Brain-Barrier-on-a-Chip for Agrochemical Permeability Studies – CASE Studentship

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) tightly regulates the flow of material between the bloodstream and the brain. One of the big problems faced by a range of sectors, from pharmaceuticals to agrochemicals, is understanding how compounds interact with and cross this barrier. Read more

Structure-function relationships governing polyphenol bioactivity with respect to plasma membranes

This project aims to investigate polyphenol binding to lipid membrane surfaces with a view to understanding how polyphenol structure and aggregation within the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) affects the bioavailability of these nutraceuticals. Read more

Neurovascular coupling in cerebral hypoperfusion

There are almost a million people living with dementia in the UK. Most of these cases comprise Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), vascular dementia (VaD) or, as is increasingly recognised, a mixed picture phenotype with evidence of the two conditions co-existent in the same patient. Read more

How to regulate plasticity in the brain

The Kwok Lab at the School of Biomedical Science invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2024/25. Read more

Ageing to Arrhythmias

Cardiac arrhythmias are a leading cause of sudden death and morbidity. This project aims to identify why they occur in the elderly and novel routes to therapies. Read more

Using microRNA inhibitors to boost GABAergic inhibition as a genetic therapy for epilepsy

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease characterised by recurrent spontaneous seizures and cognitive co-morbidities. Current small molecule approaches to treating epilepsy are ineffective in a significant portion of cases, and are associated with substantial adverse effects. Read more
