Investigating spatial variations in cancer incidence rates using geographic information systems.
Research Group:
Centre for Public Health
An interdisciplinary PhD project using geographic information systems (GIS) data-driven approaches to investigate geospatial patterns in cancer incidence and their possible underlying environmental determinants to inform primary prevention. Read more
BIOmarkers TO Predict Evolving paediatric infections (BIOTOPE3)
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
Paediatric sepsis affects approximately 1.2 million children worldwide ever year and is a leading cause of death amongst children in the UK. Read more
Identification and characterisation of somatic non-coding mutations that influence cancer development and progression
Research Group:
The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research
The role of non-coding somatic mutations in driving the development of cancer is largely unknown. Read more
Exploiting cellular stress response mechanisms to reveal cancer cell vulnerabilities
Research Group:
The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research
This PhD project will use a range of molecular biology and biochemical approaches including CRISPR, to elucidate the role played by the “molecular dislocase” complex of p97 and its adaptor protein FAF2 in the resolution of stress responses that are relevant for cancer cell biology. Read more
Which symptoms matter most to people affected by dementia with Lewy bodies?
Research Group:
Centre for Public Health
Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is the second most common form of dementia. Read more
Obtaining a genetic Diagnostic Yield via assessment of in-utero Scan findings prior to the introduction of SEquencing retrospectivelY (ODYSSEY) – a cohort study
Research Group:
Centre for Public Health
With the introduction of novel genomic technologies it is now possible to significantly shorten the diagnostic odyssey that children with rare disease and their parents endure. Read more
Molecular profiling of urban environmental impacts: understanding the biology underlying environmental stress and identifying biomarkers of resilience to non-communicable diseases
Research Group:
Centre for Public Health
This PhD project will use state-of-the-art approaches to explore how a person’s outdoor environment (i.e. the built and physical environment characteristics) ‘gets under the skin’, by identifying biomarkers associated with environmental stressors and resilience factors that help people live better lives for longer. Read more
Machine learning to predict progression of glaucoma
Research Group:
Centre for Public Health
Glaucoma is a major cause of vision loss worldwide and one of the leading causes of blindness in Western Europe. In glaucoma, the optic nerve is damaged causing loss of peripheral vision that, if untreated, may lead to blindness. Read more
Investigating the mechanistic pathways of urban environment, physical activity and cognitive health
Research Group:
Centre for Public Health
This PhD project will use state-of-the-art approaches to explore how a person’s outdoor environment (i.e. the built and physical environment characteristics) impacts their physical activity and cognitive health. Read more
Effectiveness of an automated text message intervention for weight management in postpartum women with overweight or obesity: the Supporting MumS Randomised Controlled Trial
Research Group:
Centre for Public Health
Many women talk about pregnancy as a time when their weight started to ‘creep up’. Life becomes much busier for women when caring for a baby and going to weight loss groups may not work well for new mums. Read more
Artificial intelligence for mapping evidence to target unmet needs of people with vision impairment in low- and middle-income countries
Research Group:
Centre for Public Health
A key step for planning health interventions for unmet needs in LMICs is mapping the evidence on the impact of these unmet needs. Read more
Integrative Data-intensive Analytics to Discover Novel Therapies and Companion Diagnostics for Precision Oncology
Research Group:
The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research
This integrative drug discovery project applies and develops sophisticated computational techniques to analyse multiomics data for precision oncology, building upon our recently published ‘SynLeGG’ resource (. Read more
Assessment of cardiovascular biomarkers in the maternal and fetal circulation in cardiac disease & pre-eclampsia – a cohort study
Research Group:
Centre for Public Health
Assessment of cardiovascular biomarkers in the maternal and fetal circulation in cardiac disease & pre-eclampsia – a cohort study. Read more
Structural, functional and molecular changes at the human peripheral retina
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
The major aim of this study is to explore the relationship between structural, functional and molecular changes at the human peripheral retina using state of the art clinical imaging and functional testing, supplemented by molecule characterisation using cadaveric eyes. Read more
Decoding chromatin accessibility signature in squamous cell carcinomas.
Research Group:
The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research
Single-cell chromatin (in)accessibility architecture will shed light on a central question of epigenomic regulation. Read more
