PhD in Diabetes Endocrinology and Metabolism
We offer multiple self funded PhD positions in Diabetes Endocrinology and Metabolism at the Academic Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism (ADEM) based at Allam Diabetes Centre. Read more
Rhythmic control of energy balance - to understand how our internal clocks regulate energy metabolism
24-hour rhythms are present in virtually all aspects of our behaviour and physiology. These rhythms are underpinned by circadian clocks that run throughout the body, and act within each tissue to orchestrate many organ functions and rhythmic activities (e.g. Read more
Defective Branched chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism links adipose tissue dysfunction and type 2 diabetes
Branched chain amino acids (BCAA; including leucine, isoleucine and valine) are essential amino acid that are metabolized in adipose tissues. Read more
Understanding how glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) receptors contribute to metabolism in complex tissues.
Our labs are focused on developing and using novel technologies to address challenging problems in cellular metabolism, with translational relevance for patients. Read more
Circadian clock control of adipocyte metabolism
Obesity is a major public health issue affecting one third of UK adults, and an estimated 2.1 billion individuals worldwide. The role of circadian clock dysfunction in the development of obesity is becoming clear, with disruptive lifestyles (e.g. Read more
Investigate the novel therapeutic potential for treating heart failure in diabetes.
Heart failure is the most common cause of mortality in diabetes patients, but current diabetes therapies have a limited impact on the incidence of heart failure in diabetic populations. Read more
The impact of gut microbiome and diet interplay on neurodegeneration
Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or Huntington’s disease represent major health risks of ageing societies. Read more
Enhancing clinical metabolomic studies through improved laboratory and bioinformatics tools
Applications will be reviewed until a suitable candidate is appointed and funding is available. Metabolites play many important roles in humans including in metabolism of food, synthesis of proteins and DNA, in signalling and regulation of biochemical mechanisms and in the development and progression of diseases.

Deciphering the role of white and brown adipocytes in metabolic disease
Our work focuses on understanding how obesity drives the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Specifically, it aims to decipher molecular determinants of adipocyte number and distribution within the body; key factors of susceptibility to obesity-associated cardiometabolic diseases. Read more
Is there a switch between prostamides and prostaglandins in women with dysmenorrhoea and heavy menstrual bleeding?
Dysmenorrhoea, painful menstrual cramps, and heavy menstrual bleeding are common debilitating symptoms in women with or without an underlying pelvic pathology. Read more
Antisense technologies as potential treatments for Cushing’s disease
Cushing’s disease is a devastating condition caused by a pituitary corticotroph tumour that expresses pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) and secretes high levels of ACTH. Read more
Development of a Long Acting Parathyroid Hormone Fusion for the Treatment of Hypoparathyroidism
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is an 84 aa peptide produced by the parathyroid glands and is responsible for calcium homeostasis. Hypoparathyroidism is a rare condition in which the parathyroid glands are either absent or damaged and therefore cannot produce any or sufficient amounts of parathyroid hormone. Read more
Project at University of Surrey: Filling the fibre gap: functional and metabolic potential of high amylose wheat
Project description. Wheat is the most widely grown food crop and the most traded cereal in the world today. It is therefore a perfect foundation for raising the nutritional quality of the food supply to help improve overall health of communities worldwide. Read more
Metabolic programming: Role of micronutrient (B12) deficiency and associated epigenetic marks
The global epidemic of childhood obesity is a major public health issue. Although current adverse lifestyle (nutrition and physical inactivity) contributes to obesity, a growing body of evidence links early life nutritional adversity to the development of obesity and metabolic disorders in children.
