MSc by Research: ADP-ribosylation in dementia and motor neuron disease

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

ADP-ribosylation is a fundamental posttranslational modification where ADP-ribose is linked on to target proteins by ADP-ribose transferases and removed by the ADP-ribose hydrolases. Read more

The epigenomic, transcriptional and diagnostic architecture of neurodevelopmental disorders caused by exposure to maternal infection

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

A fundamental unknown in understanding mechanisms of disease, and therefore improving therapy, is how stressors experienced during critical developmental periods influence the genesis or ‘programming’ of adult disease (Estes & McAllister 2016). Read more

Cell-biological mechanisms mediating primary cilium mediated interpretation of Shh signalling during vertebrate neuronal differentiation

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Newborn neurons undergo extensive morphological changes as they polarise to extend axons. In the developing spinal cord, newborn neurons extend axons towards their targets in response to cues from the surrounding tissues. Read more

Understanding eye-hand coordination in object interception - a computational modelling approach

University of Birmingham School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences

This PhD project with Dr Yeo will focus on understanding how we perform interception. Interceptive movements--such as catching a gently thrown ball, quickly grabbing a tilting cup to avoid spilling or even just handshaking someone--feel like trivial everyday tasks for us that seemingly look too simple to study. Read more

Efficient coding in touch: Exploring cortical feature tuning in the somatosensory system through the lens of efficient coding

University of Sheffield Department of Psychology

Efficient coding models can successfully explain the emergence of different features detectors along the visual pathway, such as center-surround receptive fields, simple and complex cells, and even higher-level visual neurons. Read more

How do prenatal steroids elevate autism likelihood?

University of Reading Department of Biomedical Sciences

The causes of autism remain unknown. Some literature has showed a link between higher levels of steroid hormones such as testosterone in the womb and autism in children, particularly males. Read more
