4-year PhD Studentship: Apolipoprotein E-targeted stem cell gene therapy for people with Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating progressive neurological disease, and a major increasing global health challenge. Read more
Investigating the timing and causes of vascular dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease
Rationale. Cerebrovascular damage accelerates and exacerbates cognitive decline and brain damage in Alzheimer's disease (AD)(1, 2). Read more
BBSRC MIBTP - Identification of pathways deregulating neuronal ELAV/Hu RNA binding proteins and alternative splicing in neurodegeneration
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
ELAV/Hu proteins comprise a family of highly conserved neuronal RNA binding proteins important for the development of the nervous system and for neuronal functions. Read more
Synaptic dysfunction in Drosophila models of neurodegenerative diseases
Almost a million of people in the UK suffer from neurodegenerative disorders. Alzheimer’s disease (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are the most common causes of neurodegenerative dementias. Read more
Targeting protein acetylation to reduce microglia activation in neurodegenerative disorders
Recently, inhibitors of histone deacetylase enzymes (HDACs) have been identified as having potential therapeutic value for a range of neuronal disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and stroke [1, 2]. Read more
Cell growth signalling in space: How does mTOR kinase communicate with diverse cellular compartments?
PROJECT IN BRIEF. This 4-year PhD project addresses the fundamental question of how individual cells sense and respond to environmental changes. Read more
Leaky Blood Vessels and Basement Membranes (Diabetes, Inflammation, Cancer)
Aberrantly leaky blood vessels are a major problem in multiple disease situation including cancer progression, in stroke and Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetic retinopathy. Read more
Self funded BMS Project: Role of the endosomal pathway in regulating sleep and circadian rhythms
Applications accepted for PhD Only. Ageing and many neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by a progressive loss of neurons in particular brain regions leading to behavioural changes including cognitive decline, sleep disruption and circadian dysregulation. 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
Bioinformatics studies of protein structures, functions and their interactions
The computational study of protein structures, functions and their interactions is fundamental to our understanding of disease. Read more
