4-year PhD Studentship: Characterising social attributes in chickens that promote sustainable egg production
Farmed animals are frequently exposed to situations that reduce their welfare and the social environment has the potential to alleviate or magnify this effect. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Dietary advice and intakes among people after stoma reversal
Two main types of gastrointestinal stoma are colostomies and ileostomies (formed from the colon or ileum, respectively). They are surgically created openings in the abdomen to enable discharge of faecal contents into a stoma bag. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: How does parental education increase risk to ADHD in the offspring?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition, characterised by persistent difficulties in the areas of attention span/impulse control. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Regenerative grazing management: its potential to improve soil health and biodiversity
The ambitious UK greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe) net-zero target for 2050 added to the known large effect that livestock has on GHGe have led to the search for more sustainable production systems. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Investigating PZ-128 as a novel treatment for nephrotic syndrome and diabetic nephropathy
Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome (INS) is a devastating disease in children that is typically associated with oedema, proteinuria, hypertension, microscopic haematuria, and renal insufficiency and usually leads to end stage renal failure despite the use of prolonged and toxic immunosuppression. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Global patterns of polydrug use and its impact on HIV, hepatitis C and overdose
People who inject drugs carry a disproportionate burden of disease related to HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and therefore, represent a key target group in prevention efforts and in the global agenda to eliminate these infections by 2030, led by the World Health Organisation. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: An assessment of basic epidemiology and healthcare utilisation for Raynaud’s phenomenon in the UK primary care setting
Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) is the term used to describe cold sensitivity with digital colour changes in response to cold exposure and/or emotional stress. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: An investigation into the performance of screening and diagnostic variables to predict 15-year prostate cancer mortality informing diagnostic and treatment strategies.
Prostate cancer is the UK’s commonest male cancer and represents a significant public health challenge. The UK National Screening Committee currently does not recommend prostate cancer screening1. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Does this dog need drugs? Clinical decision making for cardiac patients managed in primary care veterinary practice.
Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is the most common acquired heart disease in dogs, accounting for ~80% of canine cardiac disease.1,2 MMVD primarily… Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Biochemical changes in coronary microvascular endothelial glycocalyx in diabetic cardiomyopathy and therapeutic potential of restoring glycocalyx components
The endothelial glycocalyx (eGlx) is present on all endothelial cells and composed largely of proteoglycans. Proteoglycans consist of core proteins and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) side chains, of which heparan sulphate is predominant. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Towards a model of cerebroventricular development using induced pluripotent stem cell derived organoids
Preterm infants, born at under 32-weeks gestation, are at risk of long-term neurodevelopmental impairment including cerebral palsy and compromised cortical development. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Harnessing genetics of DNA methylation to understand molecular mechanisms underlying human traits and diseases.
GWAS studies have discovered many genetic associations for traits and diseases, but the functional consequences of these variants remain elusive. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Nanoparticle Gene Therapy for Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most frequent Mendelian inherited kidney disease (prevalence 1/1000). Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Investigating the regulation of MMP-dependent glycocalyx damage to refine therapeutic targets
Each component of the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) plays a crucial part. The endothelial glycocalyx (eGlx), a surface covering on the luminal surface of glomerular endothelial cells (GEnC), forms the first layer. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Targeting cancer stem cells: Selective culture method and drug search
Cancer stem cells are a small population of cells in tumours maintaining the tumorigenic capacity (1). They are featured as quiescent (i.e., dormant), in contrast to the majority of cancer cells that actively proliferate under the aberrant regulation. Read more
