Physiology PhD Research Projects for Non-European Students
We have 48 Physiology PhD Research Projects for Non-European Students
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

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.

Brainstem circuits in stress-induced changes to behaviour and physiology
A key function of the brain is to constantly monitor our environment – both our surroundings as well as our internal state. As an example, as we eat our stomach distends. Read more
Physical activity as a method to ameliorate the effects of early life stress on allostatic load in adulthood (Deakin University)
This is an opportunity to study a fully-funded PhD in both Australia and the UK, and to work with internationally recognised researchers in child health and neurodevelopment. Read more
Estimating the burden of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in children and adults
Research Group:
Nursing and Health
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is often characterised by overactive, inattentive, and impulsive behaviours which have a negative effect on academic, occupational, or social lives of people with this condition. Read more
Implementing and evaluating person-centred key performance indicators in nursing homes
Research Group:
Nursing and Health
As the population ages, more older adults will receive care through long-term care settings. We are currently moving from a medical view of care towards a more person-centred approach to care, valuing the personhood of the individual and not just treating or managing a disease. Read more
Understanding physical activity and sedentary behaviour in adults with congenital heart disease: co-design and feasibility testing of an intervention
Research Group:
Nursing and Health
Congenital heart defects are the most common birth defects, defined as clinically significant structural heart disease present at birth and affect approximately 1% of births. Read more
The identification of predictors for inappropriate service users repeat referrals for cardiac investigations; and the development of an intervention to reduce mis-referrals
Research Group:
Nursing and Health
People who feel their heart beating faster and stronger than normal (palpitations) often are sent for tests on their heart. These tests try to find the cause of these fast heart beats so that these people can be treated with medication or procedures to correct the problem. Read more
An exploration of knowledge, attitudes and experience of palliative care among refugees living in the United Kingdom
Research Group:
Nursing and Health
Refugees often face discrimination, poor access to healthcare and increased risks of health inequalities when living in a new country. Read more
