Dissecting the molecular basis for malaria-linked blood vessel pathology in the brain and retina
Cerebral malaria (CM) remains a major cause of morbidity and death. Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells cause disruption of the blood-brain/retina barrier, haemorrhage and localised thrombosis in the CNS. Read more
Exploring novel experimental therapeutics for mitochondrial disorders of the eye
Background. Primary mitochondrial genetic disease manifestations can involve almost all aspects of the eye. Mitochondrial disorders of the eye are often devastating genetic diseases, causing significant childhood and young adult blindness in the developed world. Read more
PhD position in Adaptive Optics for Medical Imaging
A 4 year funded PhD studentship (Fees, Stipend and Research Training Grant) is available in the UCL Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering. Read more
PhD position: Calcium channels in congenital stationary night blindness
Photoreceptors are morphologically and physiological highly specialized light sensing cells of the retina where sustained release of glutamate from ribbon synapses is calcium dependent and L-type calcium channels (LTCC) serve as the predominant source for Ca2+ entry. Read more
GCDC: PhD on Optical Coherence Tomography of the eye in low resource settings
Criteria. Open to Home students only. To be classed as a Home student, candidates must meet the RCUK residency criteria, see . Read more
Genetics: Investigating the molecular basis of optic nerve degeneration in glaucoma to try and develop a personalized medicine strategy for treatment
The optic nerve is a special sensory nerve that transmits visual impulses from the retina to the brain. Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) is a chronic, progressive optic neuropathy of multifactorial origin that affects 1 in 10 elderly individuals. Read more
Constructing a stable world: how the brain uses gaze direction to disambiguate sensory information
When objects move in the real world, they create a wave of activity across the retina representing that movement. But the same effect could be achieved by moving our eyes across a static object. Read more
Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a real time, non-invasive and non-contact imaging modality for translucent and transparent tissue capable of providing morphological images at the micron scale resolution at more than 1mm depth penetration. Read more
Three-dimensional structural mapping of the retinal neurovascular unit and the influence of diabetes
The aim of this PhD project is to better understand why people with diabetes are at risk of losing their vision. Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in developed countries. Read more
Event-based Visual Understanding in Complex Environment [Self Funded Students Only]
Research Group:
Visual Computing
Events record dynamic changes in environments. They are sparse, but an important information source that draw our attention and make us aware of the dynamic surroundings. Read more
Next generation computational microscopy and imaging for real-world applications in the life sciences
For over a century, our understanding of the microscopic world has been built on imaging and microscopy. Read more
Modulating endothelial cell crosstalk within tissues to delay and/or reverse ageing
Blood vessels, running across all tissues, provide a unique biological hub that integrates ageing signals at the molecular, cellular, and organ levels. Read more
