(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
Targeted protein signatures to direct the repurposing of inflammatory kidney disease treatments (The PRESIDENT study).
Background. Rare inflammatory diseases affecting the kidney, called glomerulonephritis, are a leading cause of kidney failure and current treatments are unable to achieve disease control in everyone. Read more
Cultural adaptation of a digital health platform for patients with chronic kidney disease from a South Asian background
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health emergency. 7 million people in the UK have CKD, numbers are expected to increase over the next 10 years, with a major impact on the UK health economy (1). 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
Understanding and curing genetic kidney disease
Steroid Resistant Nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is a rare kidney condition which causes excess fluid to be retained in the body which causes swelling (oedema). Read more
The role of TIRR in kidney cancer
Eukaryotic cells employ a carefully coordinated network of signalling and repair proteins to resolve DNA damage, known as the DNA damage response (DDR). Read more
Establishing the needs of a holistic lifestyle intervention for patients on haemodialysis
Patients with end stage kidney disease receiving haemodialysis treatment have the highest rates of mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and symptom burden across all of the stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Read more
Artificial intelligence-driven vaccine development to tackle the myxozoan parasite that causes proliferative kidney disease in farmed fish.
Myxozoan parasites are an unusual group of basal metazoan parasites causing severe disease in farmed fish species. Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae causes proliferative kidney disease (PKD) in salmonid fish throughout Europe and USA. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Personalised management of blood testing for renal function in patients with and without diabetes
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Project background. The management of chronic diseases, including diabetes, accounts for 50% of clinical biochemistry testing. Read more
Routine Monitoring of Depression and Anxiety in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
This PhD project is aligned with the ‘Living with Long-Term Conditions’ (LWLTC) research group at the University of Worcester. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Drosophila models of human disease
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline & aim. To cure human disease, models are needed to provide better understanding, and to identify possible treatments. Read more
Quantifying the risk of precipitating drug induced crystalluria (XTALURIA)
The growth of crystals in the body often results in pain, damage, and gross harm. Read more
Targeting the extracellular matrix remodelling for the treatment of obesity-associated cardio-renal dysfunction
Obesity is a risk factor for many chronic metabolic diseases including heart failure and chronic kidney disease. Our lab demonstrated a tight association between increased deposition of extracellular matrix components (e.g. Read more
Ejecting infection: Understanding how epithelial tissues rid themselves of viral infections by apical extrusion
Background. The epithelial tissues of our bodies use physical barriers and innate defences to fight viral infection. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Uromodulin a Precision Medicine Target for Novel Drug Discovery in Cardiovascular Disease
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Background. Despite major advances in cardiovascular health, hypertension remains the risk factor contributing most to the overall burden of disease globally. Read more
