Development and characterisation of cortical organoid model for drug discovery to treat cognitive impairment in schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disorder which severely impairs the individual’s ability to function in society. The most recognised symptoms are delusions and hallucinations, but patients also suffer from memory and attention problems. Read more
MSc by Research: Characterization of the molecular and cellular function of the schizophrenia risk factor CUL9
We invite applications for an exciting MSc Research Project investigating the function of risk factors for neurodevelopmental conditions in membrane trafficking in neurons. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Synaptic plasticity deficits in schizophrenia
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Project outline: Schizophrenia is a common and severe disease with a strong genetic influence. Read more
Network activity and synaptic plasticity analysis to predict developmental differences in neuronal oscillations (Aston University)
This is an opportunity to study a fully-funded PhD in both Australia and the UK, and to work with internationally recognised researchers in child health and neurodevelopment. Read more
Genomics-first approaches for identifying novel drug targets for psychotic disorders
Psychotic experiences (hallucinations, delusions) occur in several forms of mental illness, particularly the most severe conditions of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Read more
Understanding needs and care pathways for people with co-morbid dementia and psychosis
Psychotic symptoms occur in one-third to one-half of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD; Ropacki & Jeste, 2005) and also occur in other forms such as vascular dementia, Lewy body disease (LBD), or frontotemporal dementia (FTD) (Agüera-Ortiz, 2022). Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Epigenetic mechanisms linking maternal inflammation-induced placental and fetal brain changes to adult behavioural impairment in a neurodevelopmental rat model
This project has the primary aim to establish the biological and molecular mechanisms that underpin the increased risk for neurodevelopmental disorders following exposure of the developing fetus in utero to maternal inflammation from maternal immune activation following an infection during pregnancy.

EASTBIO: The regulation by retinoic acid receptor signalling pathways of developmental neuronal circuit formation and adult neural plasticity in the mammal
This fully funded, 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by the BBSRC EASTBIO Doctoral Training Partnership. How neuronal circuits form during development is a fundamental question in biology. Read more
New approaches to develop retinoic acid receptor-targeted drugs to treat neurological disease
Applications are invited for this self-funded 42 Month project within the Institute of Medical Sciences at the University of Aberdeen. Read more
Shared decision making and psychosis – whose voice counts in the conversations about stopping or reducing antipsychotic medication
Prescribing antipsychotics has increased steadily in England over the last decade. For serious mental health conditions like schizophrenia, they are prescribed with the view of keeping the patient on them indefinitely. Read more

EastBio: Defining the cellular response of Bacteroides fragilis to antibiotic treatments that damage DNA
Research Group:
Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
The microbiota of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract contributes to health and development, for example by processing ingested polysaccharides and priming the immune system against pathogens. Read more
Development of Bioengineered AI-Driven Myelin Models as a Humanised Platform for Therapeutic Screening in Longevity and Neurodegenerative Diseases
Project ID: 2531ac1472 (You will need this ID for your application). Research Theme: Healthcare Technologies. UCL Lead Department: Mechanical Engineering. Read more

EASTBIO: Deciphering hidden meanings from nonverbal behaviours: a multi-method and multi-level approach to investigating multimodal integration during indirect communication
This fully funded, 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by the BBSRC EASTBIO Doctoral Training Partnership. Effective communication is not just about understanding what is said. Read more
Challenging Health Outcomes - Integrated Community Environments (CHOICE): social prescribing for people living with severe mental illness
Research Group:
Psychology
Severe mental illness (SMI) is an umbrella term commonly describing conditions such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorders, bipolar disorder. Read more
Unlocking the Brain's Balance: Understanding Astrocyte Influence on Neural Communication Through Computer Modelling
This cutting-edge research project at Ulster University dives into one of the brain's most fascinating mechanisms. the conversation between brain cells that keeps our minds healthy and functioning. Read more
