Developing in vitro and in vivo genetic models to study aberrant neuronal network activity in dementia. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2025/26 Entry MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2025/26
About the GW4 BioMed2 Doctoral Training Partnership. The partnership brings together the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff (lead) and Exeter to develop the next generation of biomedical researchers. Read more
Funded PhD- Linking neuronal function to mental health: How genetic risk factors impair cognitive flexibility and neural plasticity in schizophrenia.
Genetic risk factors for schizophrenia are clustered around genes that regulate synaptic function and adaptation, indicating common disrupted biological processes that underpin the cognitive impairments in memory and flexible learning. Read more
1 Year: MRes Project: Development of High-Strength Self-Compacting Concrete Incorporating Recycled Aggregates and Pozzolana
The construction industry is rapidly advancing, with increasing emphasis on sustainability, strength, and efficiency. High-strength self-compacting concrete (HSSCC) plays a pivotal role in this evolution, offering significant advantages for modern infrastructure. Read more
Investigating the role of P2X7 receptor intracellular domains in cell signalling
Project description. P2X7 receptors are ion channels that are found on the surface of immune cells, where they respond to the binding of extracellular ATP, a damage signal released by dying cells in infection and injury. Read more
Molecular mechanisms of brain plasticity, degeneration and regeneration
The aim of the project is to discover and test candidate molecular mechanisms underlying structural brain plasticity, degeneration and regeneration. Read more
Assessing the Impact of Aggregation-Prone Proteins on the Mitochondrial-Metallome Interplay in a Novel 3D Spheroid Cholinergic Cell Model of Neurodegenerative Disease
Although showing diverse symptoms affecting cognition and movement, the brains of patients with neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) display similar neuropathological features namely protein aggregation within the brain. Read more
Investigating the link between chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease.
Research interests/description of main research theme. Patients with chronic kidney disease are 40% more likely to develop cardiovascular disease, however, mechanisms driving the cardiovascular pathogenesis are unclear. Read more
(MRC DTP) Graphene-based Drug Delivery for Kidney Disease caused by Mutation in HNF1B
Heterozygous mutations in HNF1B are the commonest genetic cause of human kidney malformations. Moreover, postnatally, kidney tubule physiology is deficient characterised by electrolyte (Mg2+ and K+)wasting into the urine. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Using iPSC technology to model the sensory nerve and discover new analgesics.
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. A PhD position is available in the Spinal Cord Group (SCG) at the University of Glasgow, researching the mammalian somatosensory nervous system. Read more
Strategies for novel cardiomyopathy treatments from organoids-informed computational multiscale modelling and simulation
Commercial partner: AstraZeneca. Heart failure is a disease with high prevalence in the population and is associated with an increasing mortality rate. 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
Funded PhD- Finding the missing link in memory networks: Deciphering cortical-thalamic communication pathways critical for successful memory
A major important challenge in neuroscience is to understand how information from our environment is learned, stored and recalled. Read more
Fully-funded PhD Studentship in the Radiological Characterisation of Contaminated Land
This project addresses the requirement to detect and quantify beta-emitting activity in contaminated land and liquid effluents. Strontium-90 and hence… Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project: Identification of ion channel dysfunction in epilepsy with machine learning
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 21 studentships for entry in September 2025. Read more
Identification of Novel Mechanisms Supporting Axon Survival and Investigation of their Therapeutic Potential
Programmed axon death is a widespread and completely preventable mechanism in injury and disease (Coleman and Hoke, Nat Rev Neurosci, 2020). Read more
