Addressing Shoulder Pain: Single-cell led repurposing of injectables for subacromial impingement syndrome (NDORMS-2025/10)
This full-time DPhil post at the Botnar Institute will use cutting edge laboratory and computational methods to interrogate the mechanisms underlying shoulder pain. Read more
Advancing Drug Delivery and Gene Therapy for Regeneration and Repair of the Aging Cartilage (NDORMS-2025/12)
Drugs targeting biological drivers of aging face unique translational challenges. Read more
EPSRC Centres for Doctoral Training - 4 Year PhD Studentships
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is the main UK government agency for funding research and training in engineering and the physical sciences, investing more than £800 million a year in a broad range of subjects - from mathematics to materials science, and from information technology to structural engineering. Read more
MSc (Res) project: Resolution versus persistence of fibrosis: The extracellular matrix decides (NDORMS-2025/5)
Fibrotic diseases affect multiple organ systems, increasing global morbidity and mortality1. Fibrosis is the final common pathway for a wide range of diseases affecting joint soft tissues including tendons, ligaments and synovial tissues2,3. Read more
Engineering Resolution – mRNA targeting of chronic inflammatory disease
mRNA based technologies have revolutionised vaccines and have the potential to modulate not just immunity to pathogens but also re-engineer immune responses to resolve chronic inflammatory disease. Read more
Neuroimmune regulation of rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an immune mediated inflammatory disease which constitutes a major global healthcare challenge as it causes significant disability and pain. Read more
Harnessing human genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data to identify novel therapeutic targets
Supporting human genetic data for novel therapeutic targets has been shown to double the success rate for subsequent clinical translation. Read more
Microbiome metabolites as immune checkpoints
The symbiotic relationship between the gut microbiota and host immune system promotes homeostasis and a balanced microbial ecosystem. Read more
Osteogenic-angiogenic coupling in fracture repair - Why do some patients fail to heal? (NDORMS-2025/11)
This full-time DPhil post at the Botnar Institute will use cutting edge laboratory and computational methods to interrogate the mechanisms underlying failed repair following scaphoid fracture. Read more
Flexible parametric survival models in Randomised controlled trials practice (NDORMS-2025/8)
Overall survival, disease-free survival, progression-free survival and cause-specific survival are typical primary or secondary time-to-event outcomes in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) collecting survival data. Read more
PROMIS Scale Validation in Clinical Trials of Common Musculoskeletal Injuries (NDORMS-2025/7)
Patient-reported outcomes are included in randomised clinical trials (RCTs) as primary or secondary endpoints to measure the impact of interventions and are increasingly recognised by regulators, clinicians, and patients as valuable tools that ensure comprehensive assessment. Read more
Development of advanced in vitro models for Dupuytren’s disease (NDORMS-2025/4)
Fibrotic diseases affect multiple organ systems, increasing global morbidity and mortality1. Fibrosis is a final common pathway for a wide range of diseases affecting musculoskeletal tissues. Read more
RNA Splicing in Immune Cells: Mechanisms, Regulation, and Predictive Modelling (NDORMS-2025/3)
This DPhil project aims to elucidate the mechanisms of RNA splicing within immune cells, focusing on the computational analysis of alternative splicing events and their impact on immune homeostasis and inflammatory responses. Read more
Evaluating methods for signal detection of drug side effects in real world data (NDORMS-2025/1)
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are unintended, harmful events attributed to the use of medicines. In modern healthcare, ADRs pose a significant challenge due to the complexity of therapeutics, an aging population, and rising multimorbidity. Read more
Investigating cross-tissue and cross-disease immune mechanisms using single-cell/spatial multiomics & machine learning/AI-powered language learning tools
Immune cells play a fundamental role in health and disease. We are applying the latest molecular and cellular multi-omics analysis platforms (single-cell and spatial omics) and computational methods to deliver insights into immune cell biology across a range of human tissues (e.g. Read more
