Plasminogen-activator inhibitor (PAI-1) in the musculoskeletal system: a key serine proteinase inhibitor regulating joint homeostasis
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
This PhD studentship will use in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo models to investigate the role of an important serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) in the musculoskeletal system, leading to a better understanding of disease and opening new pathways to therapeutic intervention. Read more
Musculoskeletal health in children
Poor musculoskeletal health is one of the greatest health burdens in Tasmania and worldwide. It is often perceived that poor health is all about aging, but nothing is less true. Read more
Musculoskeletal loading from a minimal wearable sensor system during rehabilitation
Project details. “In the future… training and rehabilitation programmes will use wearable and simple imaging technologies to estimate tissue level biomechanics derived from personalised neuromusculoskeletal modelling in real-time in the real-world. Read more
Predicting musculoskeletal loading from video during rehabilitation
Project details. Background. Knowledge of tissue-specific loads on the muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments of the human musculoskeletal system has implications for the prescription and monitoring of exercises across clinical, sporting, and occupational rehabilitation. Read more
Development of micro-incubator OCT/ OCE bioreactor system to engineer a robust musculoskeletal tissue model
Achieving adequate musculoskeletal tissue healing is one of the most challenging factors in the repair of orthopaedic tissues. The problem of hard-to-soft tissue fixation is the major cause of failure of replacement grafts and leads to further musculoskeletal degeneration e.g. Read more

A computational modelling framework for understanding skeletal muscle adaptation
Musculoskeletal biomechanics is the analysis of how forces are transmitted through our bodies during locomotion. The main sources of force arise from locomotion that is driven by the skeletal muscles. Read more
Investigating approaches to paediatric pain assessment, communication and management in primary care: A focus on long-term musculoskeletal conditions
Chronic musculoskeletal pain is experienced by up to 40% of children and young people and can have a major impact physically and emotionally on them, their families and even healthcare professionals who struggle to communicate and manage this pain. Read more
Acceptability of goal-setting to facilitate engagement with physical activity for people living with a musculoskeletal condition
Introduction. An opportunity to apply for a funded full-time PhD in the College of Health, Science and Society, UWE Bristol. . Read more
Computational Neuromusculoskeletal Modelling
Research Group:
School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
Musculoskeletal models are highly valuable in investigating musculoskeletal diseases, in particular in preventing and slowing the progression of different… Read more
Tackling falls and fracture in Parkinson’s
Half of all women, and 20% of men, aged over 50 years will sustain a fracture in their remaining lifetime. However, people with Parkinson’s disease (PwP) are particularly predisposed towards excess fall and fracture risk and subsequent hospital admission. Read more

Identifying and isolating joint specific symptoms in patients with osteoarthritis of the ankle (Ref: SHLS22109)
Research Group:
Musculoskeletal Health
Osteoarthritis of the ankle is a relatively common problem however the symptoms patients experience and the treatment they receive can vary considerably. Read more
Identifying novel SNORD116 targets and signaling pathways
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
SNORD116 is a cluster of small nucleolar RNAs absent in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), with undefined molecular actions and no cure. Read more
Sport and Exercise Sciences: Fully Funded Swansea University PhD Scholarship: Examining Biomechanical, Neuromuscular, and Muscle-Tendon Changes Following Meniscal Surgery
Funding provider: Swansea University. Subject areas: Sport Sciences/ Biomechanics. Project start date: . 1 October 2023 (Enrolment open from mid-September). Read more
IAHS STUDENTSHIP: Doubly disadvantaged: How can we support young people with chronic pain to access and retain high quality work?
Safe, appropriate work can be protective, as ‘good’ work supports our health and wellbeing. This includes people of all ages who live with chronic pain. Read more
