MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Understanding cellular mechanisms underlying the autism spectrum-linked Neurofibromatosis type 1
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are increasingly common developmental disabilities, but they are not well understood. We therefore study the most common monogenetic disorder Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) which affects 1/2600. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Mitonuclear Genetic Interactions and disease: From genetic predisposition to disease mechanisms
Optimal cellular function relies on the ongoing cooperation between nuclear DNA (nDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). When this cooperation is disrupted by genetic variants in either genome, it can lead to serious conditions, particularly neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Digital outcome measures, functional imaging and molecular analysis to mechanistically stratify patients with Parkinson's disease
Background. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common, relentlessly progressive neurodegenerative condition. New approaches are required which will link the clinical phenotype with mechanistic readouts to stratify PD patients according to their underlying cause. Read more
The development of gaze understanding (DOHERTY_UPSY25LEVERHULME)
Are you passionate about developmental psychology and eager to contribute to cutting-edge research in social cognition? We invite applications for a fully funded PhD studentship supported by the Leverhulme Trust and supervised by Dr Martin Doherty and Professor Andrew Bayliss. Read more
GEMS Topic: Care to Sleep Malaysia: Adapting Care to Sleep Intervention for People with Cognitive Impairment and Their Care Partners
Adequate sleep is essential for healthy ageing and optimal brain function. Those who experience poor sleep are at least 1.5 times more likely to develop dementia. Read more
Identifying and validating digital biomarkers of frailty in Parkinson’s disease
