Cardiovascular and Neuromuscular Functions around the Clock: Harnessing Protective Endogenous Mechanisms towards Smarter Design of Novel Therapies and Interventions
Optimal tissue and organ is essential for long-term health and quality of life. One such important regulator within the body is related to circadian rhythms, which control ~24h cycles in many physiological processes such as sleep/wake cycles, physical activity/rest cycles, drug metabolism and hormones. Read more
Biological pathways supporting the formation and function of chromatin (Scholarship)
Every cell in our body contains the same DNA yet each cell expresses a different set of genes. These changes in gene expression are heavily influenced by histone proteins, their role in packaging DNA into chromatin and the “epigenetic” information they carry. Read more
Combining genome-scale metabolic models and multi-omics data for a system level understanding of bacteria
Understanding microbial metabolism is essential for the exploitation of bacteria in a number of different biotechnological applications, the members of the Streptomyces genus being a particularly biotechnologically interesting example (Del Carratore et al., 2022). Read more
Developing Approaches to Surveillance for Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in the Equine population
The equine industry plays a significant role in the human-animal-environment interface, providing an opportunity for the emergence and inter-species spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Read more
Targeted protein signatures to direct the repurposing of inflammatory kidney disease treatments (The PRESIDENT study).
Background. Rare inflammatory diseases affecting the kidney, called glomerulonephritis, are a leading cause of kidney failure and current treatments are unable to achieve disease control in everyone. Read more
Investigating the Local Mode of Action of Anti-Perspirants using model systems and advanced probing techniques
This EPSRC Case PhD studentship is a collaboration between the University of Liverpool and Unilever to understand the action of personal care products on skin at the localised chemical level. Read more
Investigating the cellular functions of Trappc9 in brain development and microcephaly
This PhD project will investigate the cellular functions of the Trafficking protein particle complex subunit 9 (Trappc9) and its roles in brain development. Read more
Hair cortisol, triggers and moderators, and its impact on hair and skin structure and function
Stress is a ubiquitous, pervasive and increasing part of modern life. The impact of chronic stress is far-reaching, and understanding the physiological manifestations of psychological stress is crucial for the development of effective interventions, improving health outcomes, and enhancing overall well-being. Read more
Examining how post-transcriptional gene regulation mechanisms affect stem cell function
Stem cells are critical biological precursors, which can give rise to a wide variety of different cell types and offer considerable potential in regenerative medicine. Read more
The rise of vertebrate necks: how salamanders use the spine in feeding
Background and Motivation. The tetrapod neck is a major evolutionary transformation critical for the evolution of terrestrial vertebrates (tetrapods) from aquatic fishes. Read more
The Role of Nutrition and Exercise in Physical and Cognitive Function (such as sarcopenia and frailty), utilizing clinical, metabolomic, proteomic, and gut microbiota data
Physical frailty is a result of hallmarks of aging, where gut microbiome (GM) dysbiosis and dietary pattern play a significant role. Read more
Investigating the impact of galectin-ligand interaction on cancer cell resistance to chemotherapeutic treatment
Galectins are multifunctional carbohydrate-binding proteins that are expressed by many types of human cells. Changes of galectin expression commonly occur in cancer (e.g. Read more
Microbial Induced Electrochemistry at the Local Site and Single Cell Level
Microbial Induced Corrosion (MIC) is a serious economic problem with an estimate worldwide cost of $113 Bn every year. MIC impacts a very wide range of industries, from power plants to construction, and even the health of humans with implants or protheses. Read more
Establishing the biomarker potential of extracellular RNA structure in chronic diseases
Extracellular RNAs have emerged as potentially important components of intracellular communication mechanisms. Often encapsulated within vesicular structures, the roles that they perform in are still not fully established. Read more
Determination of the non-coding RNAs in the knee joint tissues of dogs at differing risk to cranial cruciate ligament rupture.
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
Background. The cranial cruciate ligment (CCL) is the most frequently damaged ligament of the canine knee joint following injuries and age-related ligament breakdown, leading to the development of osteoarthritis (OA). Read more
