Physiology (career) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 21 Physiology (career) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

PhD candidate - Origin of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders in Childhood (f/m/x)

We are Helmholtz Munich. In a rapidly changing world, we discover breakthrough solutions for better health. Our research is focused within the areas of metabolic health/diabetes, environmental health, molecular targets and therapies, cell programming and repair, bioengineering, and computational health.

Implications of Extreme Temperatures on Physiological and Cognitive Functioning in Offshore Wind Technicians

This Research Project is part of the EPSRC CDT in Offshore Wind Sustainability and Resilience’s The wellbeing triad. improving the physical, psychosocial, and cognitive health of workers in the offshore windfarm sector Cluster. Read more

Applied optogenetics to study the influence of neuronal activity on neurodegeneration

Neurodegenerative diseases represent a significant and growing challenge to global health, affecting millions worldwide. Despite extensive research efforts, the underlying mechanisms of neurodegeneration are not fully understood, and there is a critical lack of effective treatments. Read more

Mechanisms underlying the effects of activated protein C (APC) in cardiac muscle

  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
APC is an anticoagulant enzyme that also exerts antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic and a variety of other cytoprotective effects in different tissues, where the mechanism of action is thought to involve the endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) and a protease activated receptor (PAR). Read more

Immune regulation of lung repair, and long-term consequences of infection

This project is one of 14 four year PhD Studentships funded by Medical Research Scotland (MRS) (https://www.medicalresearchscotland.org.uk) to be delivered jointly by the named University and External Partner Organisation (EPO). Read more

Role of the endosomal pathway in regulating sleep and circadian rhythms

Ageing and many neurodegenerative disorders are characterised by a progressive loss of neurons in particular brain regions leading to behavioural changes including cognitive decline, sleep disruption and circadian dysregulation. Read more

Ion channel signalling in cancer cells

Our cells constantly sense and transport ions present in their environment. From embryonic development to epilepsy to heart disease to cancer, our cells’ ability to respond to changes in the ionic microenvironment is essential for healthy ageing. Read more

MSc By Research: From GWAS to causative genes

The MSc by Research programme at the University of Aberdeen is for students interested in a research-intensive master's degree. It is designed specifically to enhance your skills for a PhD or research career. Read more

Machine learning to predict blood function – towards better haematology analysis

Blood represents a complex mixture of blood cells, plasma proteins, hormones, lipids, salts and water. Blood is good indicator of health, and clinically, blood samples are taken frequently to monitor health, risk of disease or success of treatments. Read more

Investigating the Roles for deSUMOylation Enzyme SENP3 in Autophagy Impaired by α-synuclein

Aggregation of α-synuclein protein in neuronal cells has been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders (Synucleinopathies) including Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Read more
