We have 31 Biological Sciences PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Leicester
Using the metabolome to study aging and geroprotectors in 3D cell models (Ref: UF-AS-2024-2)
This project will focus on various aspects of the biology of aging and extending healthspan, including but not limited to cellular metabolic pathways that confer resilience to aging. Read more
Biomarkers of aging (Ref: UF-AS-2024-1)
The global population is aging at an unprecedented rate, leading to a surge in neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and vascular dementia. Read more
Impairment of cerebral blood flow regulatory mechanisms in stroke: the influence of stroke sub-type, severity and location
Cerebral Haemodynamics in Ageing and Stroke Medicine (CHiASM) Research Group of the Department of Cardiovascular Sciences has an international reputation for leading research on cerebral haemodynamic alterations resulting from ischaemic and/or haemorrhagic stroke. Read more
Cultural adaptation of a digital health platform for patients with chronic kidney disease from a South Asian background
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health emergency. 7 million people in the UK have CKD, numbers are expected to increase over the next 10 years, with a major impact on the UK health economy (1). Read more
Fully funded EPSRC CDT in Engineering Hydrogen Net-Zero
Reaching global net-zero emissions targets, to tackle climate change and pollution, needs rapid growth in sustainable hydrogen technologies. Read more
Cell Mechanics and Tumour Growth (Ref: UF-YL-2024)
Although plenty of cancer research is in the field of cancer cell biology, there is lack of knowledge that can cascade the biological theory to those measurable parameters that can be obtained non-destructive and in real-time at clinical level, i.e. Read more
Redefining DNA-double strand break repair in humans
Numerous DNA damaging agents constantly cause damage to cellular DNA. Read more
Harnessing mechanistic technologies and real-world clinical data to advance the interdisciplinary field of obesity and cancer prevention
In England and many other higher income countries, cancer has overtaken cardiovascular disease as the leading cause of mortality. Read more
Deciphering the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) DNA-double strand break repair mechanism in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
In all kingdoms of life, DNA damaging agents can jeopardize the integrity of the cellular genome, resulting in a range of developmental defects. Read more
Biomarkers Associated with motor Neurone Disease and Dementia development after concussion in Females and Males: BANDD.
Highlights. This will be an exciting opportunity to explore the differences between male and female brains responses to trauma in sport. Read more
Early life environment changes how organisms age.
This project will help understand why organisms age differently by establishing the effect of early life environments on epigenetic ageing in the model insect, Nasonia vitripennis. Read more
Circadian rhythm effects on radiotherapy for prostate and other cancers
Research Group:
Human & Medical Genetics
Radiotherapy is used to treat more than 50% of cancer patients, but up to a quarter of patients suffer side effects that can affect their quality of life in the long-term. Read more
Evaluating the epidemiology, genetic basis and molecular evolution of antibiotic resistance in the African nation of Cabo Verde
Antibiotic resistance (AbR) in bacteria has become a global health emergency. Just in 2019 alone, AbR has caused 1.27 million deaths and was associated indirectly with other 4.95 million deaths1. Read more
Genomics of malignant pleural mesothelioma
Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a rare, incurable cancer that carries a dismal prognosis. Its incidence is increasing globally despite its primary cause, asbestos exposure, having been known for over 50 years. Read more
Exploiting raptor genome sequences to combat wildlife crime
Birds of prey have suffered persecution for centuries through trapping, shooting, poisoning and theft from the wild to meet the demand from egg collectors and falconers; they were also amongst the earliest beneficiaries of DNA testing in wildlife forensics. Read more
