Exosomes as a therapy for glaucoma
This project is fully funded through the generosity of Glaucoma UK, including both tuition fees and £18,000 per year stipend. . 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

Fully Funded MSc by Research in Cardiovascular and Diabetes Medicine: Defining insulin resistance in the brain and impact on cognition
The North-East Scotland (NES) Diabetes and Cardiovascular Research Alliance Masters Training Programme (MTP) in cardiovascular and diabetes medicine is an exciting new programme that will expand interdisciplinary cardiovascular and diabetes research between. Read more
PhD in Vision Sciences: Evaluating functional outcomes of novel therapies for mitochondrial optic neuropathy using ultra-high resolution multi-electrode array
Mitochondrial optic neuropathies result in blindness and are currently untreatable. They arise as a consequence of genetic mutations in either mitochondrial or nuclear DNA and share the common characteristic of primarily affecting retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival. 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
Diabetic Eye Disease: Minimising Impact, Maximising Reach
Diabetic eye disease related visual loss is still increasing. Read more
Identifying genetic mechanisms of neuronal regeneration using planaria
Neuronal injury or disease in humans often leads to disability and mortality. Neurons in humans regenerate poorly, and there are very few methods to encourage this regeneration. Read more
Investigating the ability of circadian clocks to mitigate degeneration of the back of the eye
Circadian clocks are present in most tissues and cells throughout the body, and have a crucial role in health and disease. Removal of clock factors can cause dysfunction. Read more
Bioengineering a full thickness cornea
Corneal blindness is the 4th leading cause of global blindness (WHO). Corneal scarring can be caused by trauma or infection and corneal replacement with donor corneas or synthetic (plastic) alternatives is currently the sole treatment to restore vision. Read more
Investigating a novel treatment for retinal scaring
Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a common pathological process following the detachment of the retina and is reported to develop in 5–10% of cases. Read more
Methods of modulation of mitochondrial function in glaucoma
Background. Glaucoma is a common, irreversible, optic neuropathy affecting the vision of predominantly older adults that slowly progresses over a period of years. Read more
