Brain on “FIRE” – investigating the role of microglia in epilepsy
Immune cells are increasingly recognised as significant contributors to developing epilepsy and are implicated in up to 40% of the most devastating epilepsy syndromes1. Read more
Neurophysiological and pharmacological assessment of endogenous pain modulation in the human spinal cord
Location. St Luke’s Campus. Department of Clinical and Biomedical Sciences, RILD Building, RD&E Hospital Wonford, Exeter. Read more
PhD Studentship in Motor Neuron Disease – Using a Primate Model to Test Novel Therapies
Overview. Interested in neurodegenerative disorders? This PhD project will use a new primate model of motor neuron disease (MND) to explore disease mechanisms and test novel therapies and biomarkers of disease progression. Read more

Co-design and real-world testing of an intervention to implement an evidence- and theory-based long-term physical activity intervention into stroke rehabilitation pathways (PARAS-IMP) (IDRT23/HLS/IHSC/MOORE)
Background. Physical activity (PA) is low following stroke despite the known benefits of targeting this behaviour. Current stroke rehabilitation pathways do not consistently address long-term PA behaviour change, focusing instead on functional impairment. Read more
EPSRC DTP PhD project: Artificial intelligence enabled iDEntification of potential immune biomarkers in COgnitive DEcline (DECODE)
The University of Bath is inviting applications for the following PhD project commencing in October 2023. Eligible applicants will be considered for a fully-funded studentship – for more information, see the Funding Notes section below. Read more

China Scholarship Council: Mapping mitochondrial signalling pathways in neurodegeneration
Our laboratory has dissected the function of two Parkinson’s disease-linked genes encoding the protein kinase, PINK1 and ubiquitin E3 ligase, Parkin, that has illuminated a highly conserved mitochondrial quality control pathway found in nearly every cell type including brain cells. Read more
A multilevel computational framework for brain diseases
Research Group:
School of Computing
A large part of computational brain science is concerned with generating models of the brain that can help us understand its function. Read more
The potential of circulating diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases
Research Group:
Medicine
Age-associated neurodegenerative diseases, including dementias, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and clinically overlapping conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), are increasing, in line with the aging worldwide population1. Read more
Brain-inspired See-Think-Act Intelligent Machines
There is an ongoing revolution in developing autonomous intelligence machines to greatly improve effectiveness and efficiency of sensory perception, decision-making, and active control. Read more

Tear Fluid Proteins and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) analysis as Novel, Non-invasive Biomarkers of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) (Ref: SHLS22113)
Research Group:
Vision Research
IIH is an under-researched, vision-threatening disorder, which presents with raised intracranial pressure, headaches, vision loss/optic-disc changes, and affects obese women of childbearing age (Boyter, 2019). Read more
Last chance to apply
Improving occupational therapy care for stroke survivors with visual impairment (Ref: SHLS22108)
Research Group:
Stroke and Neurological Rehabilitation Research Group
Background. Visual impairment affects approximately 240,000 stroke survivors in the UK and is linked to poorer functional outcomes1. Read more
