Sex, drugs, and the lipidome: using 'omics to understand the role of fat during infection
Primary Supervisor: Dr Vincent. Funding: China Scholarship Council (CSC). Deadline: 29th January 2025. Project Overview. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Trimming the fat – identification of de-S-acylating enzymes from plants
Plants must alter their cellular processes and functions in response to a stimulus, such as hormones or pathogens, and all of this relies upon the action of proteins. Read more
The evolutionary genomics of life-history adaptations in pinnipeds
Pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, fur seals and walrus) are keystone marine predators, and sentinels for marine ecosystem health. Read more
Measuring the impact of a whole plant based alternative protein sources on gut health and metabolic function
Research Group:
Biomedical Sciences
A number of aquatic plants, including duckweed (genera Lemna, Wolffia, and Spirodela), are emerging as potential sources of alternative proteins to assist in population level dietary transition to a sustainable, low animal protein healthy diet. Read more
Effects of testosterone on pancreatic islet and enteroendocrine cells in obesity and diabetes
Research Group:
Biomedical Sciences
There is now emerging evidence that male obesity negatively impacts male reproductive potential not only by reducing sperm quality, but in particular altering the physical and molecular structure of germ cells in the testes and ultimately mature sperm. Read more
PhD+ Studentship: Regulation of hepatic ion channels by the SGLT2-inhibitor antidiabetic medication dapagliflozin
Aston University is launching a pioneering, fully-funded doctoral scholarship scheme designed to equip researchers with the skills that are crucial for success in the digital age and to meet the demands of the new industrial revolution powered by technology. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: The devil is in the details: exploiting biased receptor signalling to instruct development of precision oncology drugs
Two cancer types that affect opposite ends of the age spectrum, pediatric medulloblastoma and basal cell carcinoma of the skin, are caused by mutations that cause hyperactivation of the Hedgehog signalling pathway. Read more
EastBio DTP - Design and synthesis of chemical probes to understand the role of glucokinase in pancreatic β-cell function
Background. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a global health problem characterised by chronic hyperglycaemia due to inadequate insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells [1]. Read more
EastBio - A Systems-Level Analysis of Total-Body PET data in pigs
Funding. This 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by EastBio BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate, plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
Small animals, big impact: Understanding how polar zooplankton physiology drives ocean biogeochemistry, NERC GW4+ DTP PhD studentship for September 2025 Entry Ref: 5419
Supervisors. Lead Supervisor Daniel Mayor, University of Exeter, Biosciences. Additional Supervisors. Kathryn Cook, University of Exeter, Biosciences . Read more
Investigating perineuronal net modulation as a mechanism underlying diet induced cognitive impairment
Understanding how nutrition can affect cognition has become increasingly important in our modern world as it has been shown that poor nutrition, linked to the overconsumption of ultra processed foods high in fat and/or sugar can cause cognitive impairment (CI). Read more
Biological drivers of health inequalities: impact of diet on the gut microbiome in preschool children.
In Sheffield there is a 15-year gap in the onset of chronic health conditions between the most and least affluent areas of the city. This is related to poverty and inequality resulting in food insecurity. Read more
Investigating the role of sphingosine-1-phosphate in obesity-associated metabolic disorders, and as a predictive marker for weight loss interventions
Project ID. HI_14. Theme. Health Innovation. It is known that obesity leads to many metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, liver disease and asthma due to increased systemic inflammation. Read more
