Adipose tissue and skeletal muscle crosstalk in ageing: Using proteomics to identify targets to improve skeletal muscle health. BBSRC SWBio DTP PhD studentship 2025 Entry
Up to 34 fully-funded 4-year PhD studentships* available to start in September 2025, across a wide range of bioscience disciplines. Read more
Does immune system deterioration and adipose tissue dysfunction influence skeletal muscle mass in older adults and is there a restorative role for exercise?
BACKGROUND: . In the UK, 10 million people are 65 years or older which will rise to 19 million by 2050. Ageing is characterised by immune system deterioration, inflammation and declining skeletal muscle mass and function. Read more
EastBio: Contribution of Spatial Genome Organisation to Fine-Tune Metabolic Control in Optimizing Muscle Performance.
Different tissues have unique genome-organisation patterns that fine-tune gene expression, e.g. by enhancing gene silencing through nuclear envelope (NE)-association. Read more
Piezo1 as a novel mechanosensor regulating skeletal muscle fatigue and adaptation to exercise
Skeletal muscle is a vital organ supporting many physiological processes, most notably physical activity. Muscle fatigue is a physiological event defined by the inability to sustain force, but can be improved following regular exercise training. Read more

Funded PhD SWBio DTP- Switching on zebrafish muscle: Molecular mechanism of contraction
Project Description. A cyclic interaction of the filamentous proteins actin and myosin is central to muscle contraction. How this essential interaction is regulated in normal and pathophysiological states is not fully understood. Read more

Making and breaking myosin filaments: How smooth muscle cells modulate their contractile behaviour.
Smooth muscle is critically important in a range of functions, from maintaining blood pressure, to squeezing food through the gut and many more. Read more
Pathophysiology of intensive care acquired muscle weakness - the role of mitochondrial dysfunction
Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine, Third Faculty of Medicine, Charles University. Our research group is currently seeking a highly motivated Ph.D. Read more
Understanding the physiological and metabolic health effects of Vortex Wave Circulation therapy
The human musculoskeletal system undergoes several age-related alterations, including reductions in muscle mass and function (termed ‘sarcopenia’). Read more
Muscle-strengthening physical activity: determinants, mechanisms, and intervention effects on health using behaviour change theory
The World Health Organisation physical activity guidelines include recommendations for aerobic and muscle strengthening physical activity (MSPA). Read more
(VIDA DTC) Role of arterial smooth muscle and pericyte dysfunction towards brain waste clearance in Alzheimer’s Disease
Chronic hypertension causes functional and anatomical rarefaction of the cerebral blood vessels and is the main risk factor after age for vascular dementia and stroke. Read more
Integrating wearable technology and Artificial Intelligence for enhanced health monitoring and rehabilitation
Wearable technology has changed how we monitor health by allowing us to track detailed movement data over long periods, in real-time, and from anywhere. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Modulation of neural extracellular matrix to improve frailty during ageing
Muscle frailty is a serious condition and highly prevalent in the ageing community. It leads to accidental falls and injuries in aged individuals, and contributes significantly to the poor quality of life. Read more
