The issue of design, safety and wellbeing in green spaces is a key challenge for Belfast and is one of the main barriers to effective roll out of greening strategies for the city. Read more
Not having enough money to buy food is known as food insecurity and is common in UK children. Free school meals (FSM) are offered to children based on household income. Read more
The primary aim of this PhD project is to establish a prospective injury surveillance system in collaboration with EF Education-Tibco-SVB, a Women’s World Tour Professional Cycling Team (both in road cycling and cyclocross). Read more
Mental ill-health is a major public health concern and the environment in which we live can affect this. There is a need to understand which factors about our environment have the greatest influence in order to inform pro-mental health policy and infrastructure. Read more

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in diabetic patients. One important factor contributing to this condition is the transcriptional and biosynthetic changes occurring in the retina Müller glial cells (MGCs) exposed to higher concentrations of glucose.

The study will examine the relationships between birth outcomes and of the impact of prescribing to mothers on birth outcomes over time in Northern Ireland. Read more
The student will identify and implement expert elicitation methods to inform the joint value based design of the research and development pathway. Read more
Neutrophils produce histamine and express two histamine receptors (H2R and H4R). Production of histamine by neutrophils is intriguing and may imply auto-regulation of neutrophil functions. Read more
The aim of this PhD project is to better understand why people with diabetes are at risk of losing their vision. Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in developed countries. Read more

HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) are an emergent class of epigenetic modifying agent (EMA), with multi-modal mechanisms-of-action in both tumour and tumour microenvironment (TME). This project aims to understand how these drugs modulate efficacy of 5-FU-based chemotherapy to counteract transcriptional plasticity and immune evasion that underpins emergence of treatment resistance. Read more
We will investigate biology driving the aggressive features of Poor Outcome Triple Negative Breast Cancers (PO-TNBCs). PO-TNBCs possess the worst outcomes amongst all breast cancers, with high rates of metastases and chemoresistance. Read more
The project aims to understand the relationship between correcting presbyopia among older craftswomen and their economic and social empowerment. Read more
