Developing a new bioinformatics platform for integration and analysis of high-throughput ‘omics data to inform drug discovery and precision medicine approaches

University of Leicester
Cardiovascular Sciences

Dr A Didangelos, Dr L Wain

Application Deadline: 28 February 2019

This PhD project aims to develop innovative bioinformatics platforms for deep mining of multi-omics datasets, to extract clinically meaningful information in order to identify new ‘druggable’ biological targets associated with tissue inflammation and fibrosis that are crucial for the development of targeted therapeutics for common diseases (lung, cardiovascular and renal).

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Targeting senescence to ameliorate ageing and treat cancer and other diseases

University of Leicester
Molecular and Cell Biology

Dr S Macip

Applications accepted all year round

Ageing is a biological process that affects all living creatures. Despite the scientific advances of the past decades, the mechanisms that lead to ageing in humans are not fully understood.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

The role of fibroblasts in skeletal muscle ageing (SSEHS/NM)

Loughborough University
School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences

Dr N Martin

Applications accepted all year round

Loughborough University is a top-ten rated university in England for research intensity (REF2014) 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%.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Transcriptional Control of Stem Cell Differentiation

University of Leicester
Molecular and Cell Biology

Research Group: Gene Expression

Dr S Cowley

Applications accepted all year round

The ability to regulate the transcriptional activity of protein coding genes is one of the most fundamental processes of life. The transcriptional potential of a gene is directly related to its chromatin context, which in turn, is influenced by the covalent modification of its core histone components.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Using state-of-the-art proteomics to study the cellular and extracellular protein composition in human kidney disease; identification of novel biomarkers and bioactive drug targets in IgA Nephropathy

University of Leicester
Department of Infection Immunity & Inflammation

Dr A Didangelos, Prof J Barratt

Applications accepted all year round

One of the key pathological characteristics of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the maladaptive and chronic accumulation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in affected glomeruli leading to fibrosis and progressive loss of function.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Molecular basis of hearing in Insects

University of Leicester
Department of Neuroscience, Psychology and Behaviour

Dr B Warren

Applications accepted all year round

The newly-founded Warren lab is after an ambitious and resilient PhD student to work on hearing in the desert locust.
