Developing an algorithm for detecting placenta abnormalities

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

The placenta plays an important role during pregnancy by transporting nutrients to the fetus. Occasionally the placenta does not function properly, giving rise to a range of issues such as placenta accrete and intrauterine growth restrictions (IUGR). Read more

Computational modelling to understand the key drivers of placental evolution

University of Southampton Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences

Supervisory Team. Bram Sengers (SoE), Rohan Lewis (Medicine). Project description. This project will use computational modelling in combination with 3D multiscale multimodal imaging to improve our understanding of placental evolution, in close collaboration between Engineering and Medicine.

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

The role of Human cytomegalovirus glycoprotein polymorphisms in disease pathogenesis

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) produces asymptomatic infection in most immunocompetent individuals but thereafter establishes life-long infection with periodic reactivation and asymptomatic shedding. Read more

Metabolic programming: Role of micronutrient (B12) deficiency and associated epigenetic marks

Nottingham Trent University School of Science & Technology

The global epidemic of childhood obesity is a major public health issue. Although current adverse lifestyle (nutrition and physical inactivity) contributes to obesity, a growing body of evidence links early life nutritional adversity to the development of obesity and metabolic disorders in children.
