Understanding the Role of the Vascular Clock in Diabetic Retinopathy
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision loss, characterized by retinal vascular damage and neovascularization. This project seeks to understand the role of the vascular circadian clock in endothelial cell (EC) function and its impact on DR progression. Read more
Cardiovascular and Neuromuscular Functions around the Clock: Harnessing Protective Endogenous Mechanisms towards Smarter Design of Novel Therapies and Interventions
Optimal tissue and organ is essential for long-term health and quality of life. One such important regulator within the body is related to circadian rhythms, which control ~24h cycles in many physiological processes such as sleep/wake cycles, physical activity/rest cycles, drug metabolism and hormones.

Clock-watchER: Circadian coordination of the plant endoplasmic reticulum
The rotation of the Earth creates periodic day-night changes in environmental conditions such as light and temperature. Organisms are able to adapt to these predictable diurnal cycles through their internal timekeeping system, the circadian clock, which has a periodicity of approximately 24 hours. Read more

EastBio: How do cellular circadian rhythms synchronise with the outside world?
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Having evolved on a rotating planet, organisms on Earth have developed an internal biological clock to allow them to anticipate the 24hr day-night cycle. Read more

EastBio: The effects of circadian rhythms in potassium concentration on cell biology.
Research Group:
Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences
Circadian rhythms are a fundamental feature of life, found in all eukaryotes. In our own bodies, plants, and fungi, every cell keeps time by itself. Read more

Coupling between the circadian clock, metabolism and the environment: a systems’ approach
The circadian clock is a gene circuit that generates 24-h cycles of gene expression in many organisms in anticipation of daily cycles of sunlight and temperature. Read more
Circadian Rhythms and Ageing
About the Project. We are pleased to offer the opportunity for a self-funded PhD student to join our research team within the School of Pharmacy, University of Kent. Read more

Circadian clock control of adipocyte metabolism
Obesity is a major public health issue affecting one third of UK adults, and an estimated 2.1 billion individuals worldwide. The role of circadian clock dysfunction in the development of obesity is becoming clear, with disruptive lifestyles (e.g. Read more
Circadian rhythm effects on radiotherapy for prostate and other cancers
Research Group:
Human & Medical Genetics
Radiotherapy is used to treat more than 50% of cancer patients, but up to a quarter of patients suffer side effects that can affect their quality of life in the long-term. 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.

Rhythms of Infection: Understanding the Circadian Control of Schistosome Development in Snails
Circadian clocks are an essential feature of life that synchronise physiological and behavioural processes with daily environmental cycles. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Development of a wireless biocompatible inductive-powered graphene-enabled electrophysiology probe to investigate circadian modulation of brain network dynamics
This project aims to advance the use of high-density electrophysiological arrays, specifically graphene micro-transistor (gFET) arrays, for Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) applications. Read more
Plant chrono-nutrition: Quantitative methods for improving the nutritional quality of fresh vegetables in urban farms
Both plants and animals have a daily rhythm– the circadian clock– that regulates many different aspects of our physiology. For instance, human circadian rhythms determine how well we absorb nutrients, while plant circadian rhythms regulate metal absorption and vitamin biosynthesis. Read more
