4-year PhD Studentship: Disentangling the pathways and molecular basis of inverse associations between Alzheimer's disease and cancer

Epidemiological studies and systematic reviews report unexplained inverse associations between risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) and risk of cancer (Shafi, (2016); Zablocka et al (2021)). Read more

Post-mortem characterisation and organotypic culture modelling of DNA damage in Alzheimer’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies

Neurodegenerative dementias, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia with Lewy bodies are growing medical and social issues. Whilst recent advancements in Alzheimer’s disease therapies have been hailed as clinical breakthroughs, the reality is that meaningful treatment for these diseases remain lacking. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Precision assessment of human spatial memory: application to early detection of Alzheimer’s Disease

Dementia presents a worldwide healthcare emergency, with 55 million people already affected around the world. The main risk factor is age, meaning that the global burden of disease is projected to rise throughout the 21st century as populations grow older.  . Read more

Targeting complement component 5 to reduce neuroinflammation and treat Alzheimer’s disease with new chemical and microscopy tools.

This MRC studentship provides a rare opportunity to work across disciplines - combining medicine, chemistry and physics – to generate new insight into debilitating neurodegenerative disease, potentially benefitting millions of patients worldwide. Read more

Sensory Biomarkers for Early Detection in Alzheimer's Disease: Novel Pathways to Effective Interventions (SAMIS_U24FMH)

Primary supervisor - Dr Saber Sami. Background. Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents a significant global health challenge. Early detection is critical for effective interventions, yet current screening methods for high-risk populations are limited by their cost and invasiveness. Read more

Machine Learning approaches to Pathway specific Alzheimer Disease Polygenic Risk Score

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, contributing to 60–70% of cases. Worldwide estimates suggest over 35 million people live with AD. Read more

4-year PhD Studentship: How does pro-angiogenic signalling contribute to the vascular dysfunction observed in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, and can this be prevented using existing therapeutics?

Vascular dysfunction is now considered an early event in Alzheimer’s disease development (AD)(1,2). Blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakiness is detectable early in pre-clinical AD, which allows an influx of circulating toxins, impairs clearance of β-amyloid (Aβ) and reduces cerebral blood flow(3).

4-year PhD Studentship: Repositioning blood pressure lowering drugs to treat Alzheimer’s disease

Elevated blood pressure in mid-life is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Blood pressure lowering drugs protect against cognitive decline and may slow the progression of AD. Read more

4-year PhD Studentship: The Role of Amyloid Precursor Protein in Prostate Cancer: Lessons Learnt from Alzheimer's Disease

Prostate cancer(PCa) remains the second most common cancer and the fifth leading cause of cancer death among men worldwide[1]. Whilst current therapies have led to improvements in PCa treatment and survival benefits for patients, their effectiveness can be limited by toxicity and drug resistance[2; 3]. Read more
