Embryonic zebrafish models of HACD1-deficiency to replace mammals in congenital myopathy and lipidomic research
Mutations in the gene encoding 3-hydroxyacyl-Co-A dehydratase 1 (HACD1) cause autosomal recessive congenital myopathies in humans, dogs and mice. Read more
Modern human variation as a model for locomotor evolution in ancestral hominins
The transition to terrestrial bipedalism represents a defining episode in the history of our species. Understanding how, when, and why upright bipedalism evolved in hominins requires the biomechanics of fossil organisms to be analysed. Read more
Investigating the effects of a training aid on golf putting mechanics
Golf is a popular recreational activity as well as an elite sport. It’s relatively low musculoskeletal and particularly cardiorespiratory demands make it an effective medium for maintaining exercise and mobility in the elderly population. Read more
Mechanistic understanding of cancer drug induced cardiotoxicity using patient derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived cardiomyocytes
Background. Cardiovascular disease is the number one non-cancer cause of death in cancer survivors, attributable to side-effects of cancer medications routinely given to patients. Read more
Understanding why cardiovascular dysfunction is one of the leading causes of mortality in patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver disease (NAFLD)
Background. Liver disease accounts for 3.5% of all global deaths/year (~2 million people) and is the third leading cause of premature death in the UK with some of the highest hospitalisations in the country seen in areas of socioeconomic deprivation. Read more
Nutrition and Exercise Human Clinical Trial for common older age conditions, including Physical Function, Sarcopenia and Frailty, Dementia, Cognitive Impairment, and cardiovascular disease
Wide range of PhD topics and methodologies are available for those interested in older age health and healthy ageing. We are able to offer multidisciplinary projects for studies with human, animal models, metabolomics, and biology in relation to the advertise title. Read more
A Multi-Omics approach to understanding cardiovascular risk in patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease
Background. End-stage Kidney failure, also known as End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD), is the final, irreversible stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD), where kidney function has worsened to the point that the kidneys can no longer function independently. Read more
Investigating the role of calmodulin in human muscular hypotonia and immunodeficiency
Recently, human gene mutations in the calcium channels Orai1 and STIM1 have been identified in patients with immunodeficiency and muscular hypotonia syndromes. Read more
