Impact of dairy food components on biomarkers of cardiometabolic health
Start date. October 2022. Full-time/part-time availability. Full-time (3 years). Overview. Read more
Sedentary behaviour, physical activity, psychological stress and vascular health - implications for cardiovascular disease
Loughborough University is a top-ten rated university in England for research intensity (REF, 2014) and an outstanding 66% of the work of Loughborough’s academic staff who were eligible to be submitted to the REF was judged as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, compared to a national average figure of 43%. Read more
Personalising thresholds of risk factor control for prevention of cardiovascular disease in subjects with diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is a cardio-metabolic chronic condition with worldwide increase in prevalence and incidence. The control of glucose levels and of other risk factors, such as lipid levels and blood pressure, is essential to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications. Read more
Extending the use of the Leicester Diabetes Risk Scores with a focus on use in ethnic minority groups
Background. Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) is one of the most prevalent long-term conditions globally. However, options for identifying and preventing the condition have low uptake and underserve groups in greatest need. Read more

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on screening for gestational diabetes, pregnancy outcomes and care
To start as soon as possible. This PhD will use data that has been collated during routine health care appointments and visits to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health care access and outcomes in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Read more
Directed protein evolution for predicting viral escape mechanisms and development of viral therapeutics
Department of Cardiovascular Sciences and Department of Molecular and Cell Biology offer a fully funded 3.5 year PhD. We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated PhD student to study molecular mechanisms of protein:protein interactions and molecular evolution relevant to viruses. Read more

Environmental influences in the ageing brain: a cross-cohort investigation in UK-wide populations
According to the UK Health Security Agency, by 2041, one in four people living in the UK will be aged ≥65 years. Being able to stay healthy at older age, both physiologically and psychologically, is a nationwide healthcare strategy. Read more
Discovering structural variation in mesothelioma using long-read sequencing
Research Group:
Human & Medical Genetics
Cancer genome sequences show that cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease, with each patient having a unique mutational profile. Read more

Understanding cellular receptors mediating signalling and viral infection - molecular mechanisms and development of new therapeutics
Cellular receptors initiate signalling pathways that regulate all aspects of cell behaviour and these receptors are key therapeutic targets for a wide range of diseases including cardiovascular disease and cancer. Read more
Determining the roles that GRK and arrestin proteins play in the development of hypertension and vascular disease
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a very large family of heptahelical, integral membrane proteins that mediate a wide variety of physiological processes ranging from the transmission of light and odorant signals to the mediation of neurotransmission and hormonal actions. Read more
Targeting senescence to ameliorate ageing and treat cancer and other age-related diseases
Ageing is a biological process that affects all humans. Despite the scientific advances of the past decades, the mechanisms that lead to ageing are not fully understood. Read more
