Multimodal Artificial Intelligence for the Detection and stratification of Necrotising Enterocolitis in premature born infants (MAIDNEC)

Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust GOSH BRC Applied Child Health Informatics Theme (Non-Clinical) PhD Studentships

Using chemical-genetics to inhibit and characterise “undruggable” enzymes

University of Dundee School of Medicine

The ability to inhibit kinases with small molecule drugs has transformed our understanding of signalling networks. It has allowed us to define the substrates and processes that each kinase controls, and to map how these enzymes cooperate within signalling pathways. Read more

The effect of early-life stress on cardiac function in later life

University of Dundee School of Medicine

Stressful experiences in early childhood can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in later life. How early-life stress (ELS) influences susceptibility to CVD onset remains largely unknown. Read more

Relationship between IFNγ-dependent tumour escape and immunotherapy

University of Oxford Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology

Tumours actively escape the immune system by inducing an immunosuppressive state whereby intra-tumoural CD8 T-cells are “exhausted”, lacking effector functions. Read more

Updating the background characteristics and risk factors associated with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) to inform risk-reduction messages and help target vulnerable families

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Our team has been instrumental in reducing the number of cot deaths (SIDS or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) in England & Wales by 90% over the last three decades.[1] The remaining 2-300 unexpected infant deaths per year show a marked inequality, largely coming from socio-economically deprived communities.

Interaction between innate immune activation and endothelial cells, linked to adverse cardiovascular events

University of Liverpool Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology

The complement system is a key component of the immune response. Maintaining a balance between activation and inhibition of the complement system is key to preserving tissue homeostasis and enabling immune surveillance. Read more

Using ultrasound thalamotomy as an opportunity to understand the contributions of the human thalamus to decision making and learning

University of Dundee School of Medicine

The contribution of the human thalamic nuclei to decision making are poorly understood and a focus of considerable interest given their routine use as safe targets for functional neurosurgery in tremor and Parkinson's disease. Read more

Combining laser and ultrasound based molecular delivery strategies for enhanced drug delivery

University of Dundee School of Science and Engineering

Overview. This project addresses the critical area of delivering therapeutics to the skin. If successful, the approach will have direct and positive consequences for the treatment of a range of skin diseases, but may also be viewed as a more generic means of drug delivery for treating a much wider range of disease.

Interdisciplinary investigation of the role of amino acids in immunometabolic responses to metformin in human cells

University of Dundee School of Medicine

There is overwhelming evidence that inflammation contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) but counterbalancing this is evidence from meta-analysis of randomised control trials that many existing anti-inflammatory drugs, such as COX2 inhibitors and anti-TNF drugs, tend if anything to exacerbate risk of CVD.
