Contribution of insula activity to control of tic-like movements and other behaviours relevant to Tourette’s syndrome: integrative neuroscience studies in rats iCASE project
Industrial partner Neupulse. Human brain imaging studies have linked activity of the insula brain region to action/movement control and motor tics – repetitive movements that resemble normal movements but are produced outside the normal context of these movements and are characteristic of Tourette’s.

(BBSRC NWD) Development of a wireless biocompatible inductive-powered graphene-enabled electrophysiology probe to investigate circadian modulation of brain network dynamics
This project aims to advance the use of high-density electrophysiological arrays, specifically graphene micro-transistor (gFET) arrays, for Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) applications. Read more
Targeting the sweet tooth to reduce population-wide sugar intake
Excess intake of dietary sugars are a major contributor to obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Read more
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to improve the muscle ‘health’ of individuals with acute kidney injury (AKI).
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common consequence of acute illness impacting >13-million individuals worldwide each year. Read more
EASTBIO: The regulation by retinoic acid receptor signalling pathways of developmental neuronal circuit formation and adult neural plasticity in the mammal
This fully funded, 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by the BBSRC EASTBIO Doctoral Training Partnership. How neuronal circuits form during development is a fundamental question in biology. Read more
EASTBIO: Understanding the role of STC2 in regulation of skeletal muscle growth and maintenance
This fully funded, 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by the BBSRC EASTBIO Doctoral Training Partnership. About a third of elderly admissions to long-term health care facilities are due to frailty and inability to perform daily living activities. Read more
EASTBIO CASE: Investigating the mechanisms underlying protective genetic associations with metabolic disease
This fully funded, 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by the BBSRC EASTBIO Doctoral Training Partnership. This is a CASE studentship (Collaborative Awards in Science and Engineering). Read more
Female-specific physiological responses to exercise in the heat (Ref: SSEHS/SR25)
This project proposes a timely investigation into the impacts of rising global temperatures on female exercisers. Read more
Investigating the physiological and biomechanical demands of wheelchair rugby game play: Implications for load monitoring (Ref: SSHES/TOB25)
Wheelchair rugby (WR) is a mixed gender Paralympic sport, characterised by intermittent sprint activity and a large aerobic contribution. Read more
The effects of hypoxia on decision making, cognitive flexibility, memory, and pain
Applications are invited for a fully-funded three year PhD to commence in October 2025. . The PhD will be based in the Faculty of Science and Health within the School of Psychology, Sport and Health Science, and will be supervised by Dr Nils Niederstrasser and Dr Joe Costello. Read more
EASTBIO: When Timing Matters: Exploring Synchrony of Multisensory Signals in Real and Online Environments [CASE project]
Multisensory integration, the brain’s ability to combine information from different sensory modalities, is crucial for interacting with the environment. Read more
EastBio: Contribution of Spatial Genome Organisation to Fine-Tune Metabolic Control in Optimizing Muscle Performance.
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
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
EastBio: Impacts of climate change on the development, persistence, and consequences of animal personalities in amphibians.
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Most animals show consistent behavioural differences among behavioural traits, referred to as animal personalities, and different behaviours are linked across different contexts, referred to as behavioural syndromes. Read more
EASTBIO Exploring form & function in one of nature’s most powerful water-conservation systems
Research Group:
Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences
You will use modern techniques to study the development and/or physiology of one of the most powerful water-conserving systems in nature – the beetle cryptonephridial (or ‘buried kidney’) complex. Read more
Establishing TimeTeller as a tool for human chronotyping
Human physiology is governed by the circadian clock, inducing rhythms in key pathways over the 24-day. For example, sleep-wake cycles as well as rhythms in hormones and physiological parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure or blood glucose homeostasis are modulated by the circadian clock.
