Adipose tissue and skeletal muscle crosstalk in ageing: Using proteomics to identify targets to improve skeletal muscle health. BBSRC SWBio DTP PhD studentship 2025 Entry
Up to 34 fully-funded 4-year PhD studentships* available to start in September 2025, across a wide range of bioscience disciplines. Read more
Investigating Dietary Approaches to Improve Muscle Health
The maintenance of good muscles health provides a key aspect of general health. Reduced muscle health is associated with both ageing and a range of diseases. Read more
Skeletal Muscle Biomechanics via Disclination-based Continuum Modelling
Please note that this project is not University-funded. You will need to secure external funding to cover your tuition and living expenses. Read more
Does immune system deterioration and adipose tissue dysfunction influence skeletal muscle mass in older adults and is there a restorative role for exercise?
BACKGROUND: . In the UK, 10 million people are 65 years or older which will rise to 19 million by 2050. Ageing is characterised by immune system deterioration, inflammation and declining skeletal muscle mass and function. Read more
Role of primary cilia in skeletal muscle stem cells and muscle regeneration
Primary cilia are cellular organelles present at the surface of many cell types in vertebrates. In recent years, they have been shown to play essential roles in relaying signalling information from the environment to the cell. Read more
Cardiac and skeletal muscle progenitor cells - driving regeneration ability by tryptophan metabolites
The School of Biomedical Sciences invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2024/25. Read more
EastBio: Contribution of Spatial Genome Organisation to Fine-Tune Metabolic Control in Optimizing Muscle Performance.
Different tissues have unique genome-organisation patterns that fine-tune gene expression, e.g. by enhancing gene silencing through nuclear envelope (NE)-association. Read more
Development of a new muscle mechanics model - mechanics of lower limb muscles during gait
The goal of this project is to build a new model of muscle contraction called the Active Spring Muscle Model (ASMM) and to verify the model in human gait mechanics. Read more
Piezo1 as a novel mechanosensor regulating skeletal muscle fatigue and adaptation to exercise
Skeletal muscle is a vital organ supporting many physiological processes, most notably physical activity. Muscle fatigue is a physiological event defined by the inability to sustain force, but can be improved following regular exercise training. Read more

Funded PhD SWBio DTP- Switching on zebrafish muscle: Molecular mechanism of contraction
Project Description. A cyclic interaction of the filamentous proteins actin and myosin is central to muscle contraction. How this essential interaction is regulated in normal and pathophysiological states is not fully understood. Read more
Funded PhD open to UK-domiciled, home fee applicants of Black African, Black Caribbean or other Black or mixed Black heritage - Mechanism of muscle contraction in zebrafish
A cyclic interaction of the filamentous proteins actin and myosin is central to muscle contraction. How this essential interaction is regulated in normal and pathophysiological states is not fully understood. Read more
Control of skeletal muscle regeneration and aging by cell signalling
The ability of skeletal muscles to regenerate in response to injury, exercise, growth or disease depends on a population of adult skeletal muscle stem cells. Read more
