The potential of circulating diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases
Research Group:
Medicine
Age-associated neurodegenerative diseases, including dementias, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and clinically overlapping conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), are increasing, in line with the aging worldwide population1.

Do somatic mutations in bone marrow influence neurodegenerative disorders?
Age remains the primary risk factor for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Lewy body diseases (LBD). Read more
Fighting the zombie apocolypse: developing new compounds to counteract senescence in the brain through type-I interferon signalling reduction
Treatment of neurodegenerative disease desperately needs a breakthrough as drugs for current targets, e.g. amyloid in Alzheimer’s Disease, are failing to translate to patients. Read more
From biomechanics of football heading to brain tissue biophysics
There is growing public concerns and anxieties around the consequences of exposure to impact from football heading. It is partly fuelled by recognition of increased risk of development of neurodegenerative disease in late life of former players. Read more
Understanding the heterogeneity of pathology in dementia with Lewy bodies to aid the interpretation of biomarkers
The primary pathology of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is alpha-synuclein, however multiple studies have demonstrated that Alzheimer’s disease (AD) related pathologies (tau and beta amyloid) play an important role in disease progression driving spread of pathology and accelerating cognitive decline.

Abnormalities in proteins and lipids in Lewy body dementia
Lewy body dementia (LBD) is the second most common form of age-associated dementia disorder. Read more
Investigating the mechanisms of Mitochondrial DNA Repair (Mito-DR)
Applications are invited for a fully-funded three-year PhD to commence in October 2023. The PhD will be based in the Faculty of Science and Health, and will be supervised by. Read more
EPSRC DUNeS: Structure based development of dual specificity inhibitors of NLRP3 and SARM1
Treatment of neurodegenerative disease needs new targets, as current approaches fail to translate in clinical trials. Read more

PhD Studentship in Motor Neuron Disease – Using a Primate Model to Test Novel Therapies
Overview. Interested in neurodegenerative disorders? This PhD project will use a new primate model of motor neuron disease (MND) to explore disease mechanisms and test novel therapies and biomarkers of disease progression. Read more
15 fully-funded MSCA PhD positions in Advanced Glaucoma Research in the Netherlands, Norway, Germany or France!
Glaucoma is an age-related neurodegenerative eye disease. Despite efforts of the early detection and treatment of glaucoma, ~15% of all patients in the EU still become bilaterally blind. Read more
Understanding the role of the RNA helicase Upf1 in eukaryotic gene expression
UPF1 is a universally conserved RNA helicase in eukaryotes. Read more
Decoding Speech using Invasive Brain-Computer Interfaces
For individuals who have impaired speech or complete loss of speech as a result of neurodegenerative diseases such as motor neurone disease (MND) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), there is an urgent need to develop revolutionary technologies using the latest advances in automatic speech recognition (ASR) and brain signal processing (BSP).
