CRUK Manchester Centre Non-Clinical Studentships and Clinical Research Training Fellowships
Online applications are now open for CRUK-funded 2022 Non-Clinical Studentships and Clinical Research Training Fellowships (CRTFs), including CRTFs jointly supervised by the University of Manchester and the University of Leeds. Read more
(MRC DTP) A multidisciplinary approach to define the mechanisms by which air pollutants cause cardiovascular disease
There is strong associative epidemiological evidence linking air pollution to the globally high burden of cardiovascular diseases with more than 3 million cardiovascular deaths per annum attributed to the effects air pollution. Read more
(MRC DTP) Identifying spatial and temporal pain profiles to identify disease type and progression from the Manchester Digital Pain Manikin
Chronic pain drives disability in people with musculoskeletal and other chronic conditions and affects approximately one in five people worldwide. Read more
(MRC DTP) When does placental dysfunction originate in women with diabetes?
A growing number of women of reproductive age are living with type 2 diabetes (T2D). While we know much about the effects of T2D on the individual… Read more
(MRC DTP) Model-driven optimization of metformin therapy and individualisation of healthcare in pregnancy
Pregnant women and their babies encounter many medications, including short term exposure to antibiotics or extended exposure to drugs for diabetes or epilepsy1. Read more
(MRC DTP) Craniofacial bone regeneration using Dental Pulp Stem Cells 3D constructs and chemically defined compounds
Bone repair and replacement in cranio-facial surgery is necessary for a range of aetiologies including foetal/developmental deformities, cancer, cysts, trauma and atrophy following tooth loss; over 2.5 million bone grafts are performed worldwide annually (Brounts et al 2013). Read more
(MRC DTP) Potential for repurposing currently available oral protease inhibitors for the treatment of atopic dermatitis
Background. A quarter of children in the UK suffer from atopic dermatitis (eczema). One in 20 have severe disease not responsive to topical treatment. Read more
(MRC DTP iCASE) EMBRaCE-RT: Enhanced Monitoring for Better Recovery and Cancer Experience for Radiotherapy
The latest generation of wearable vital signs monitors has great potential to support patients during their cancer journey. Most cancer care is delivered… Read more
(BBSRC DTP) Carbon sequestration by fungal and root necromass in grassland soils
Carbon (C) sequestration in soils is widely recognised as an important strategy for meeting climate mitigation targets, but we lack knowledge of the mechanisms involved. Read more
(MRC DTP) Cutting edge precision medicine approaches for improved disease outcome and classification in autoimmune myositis, a rare muscle disease
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are autoimmune diseases characterized by inflammation of skeletal muscle (myositis). The lungs, heart and skin may also be involved, and cancer risk is unfortunately increased in some patients, leading to increased mortality. Read more
(BBSRC DTP) Evaluating and modelling glycosaminoglycan fragment interactions with COVID-19
Oligosaccharides are ubiquitous biomolecules on cell surfaces and the intra-cellular matrix, and are central to many critical biological regulatory processes, including cell-differentiation, cancer, bacterial and viral infections and inflammation. Read more
(BBSRC DTP) Defining the roles of mRNA methylation in circadian physiology and inflammation
Methylation is a pervasive biochemical modification targeting virtually all types of molecules in our cells. A key metabolic pathway called the “methyl cycle” synthesises S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), the methyl donor co-substrate used by over 200 substrate-specific methyltransferases described so far in humans. Read more
(MRC DTP) Unlocking the research potential of unstructured patient data to improve health and treatment outcomes
Electronic health records (EHRs) in hospitals contain a wealth of rich, routinely collected information that have the potential to drive improvements in patient care and research. Read more
(MRC DTP iCASE) Molecular profiling of immune dysregulation in acute exacerbations: from peanut allergy to COVID-19
An effective immune response is essential to health and well-being but, for reasons that are not well understood, they can become dysregulated causing numerous inflammatory conditions including allergies and asthma as well as life-threatening systemic inflammatory syndromes observed in response to infections which can result in sepsis, including the current pandemic SARS-CoV-2. Read more
(MRC DTP iCASE) Lipidomic signatures of colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases
In the UK, colorectal cancer is diagnosed in over 40,000 people per year. Sadly, despite the most up to date treatments 40% will die from the disease within 5 years. Read more
