What outcomes are important to patients with osteoarthritis? Development of a core outcome set

Osteoarthritis is the most common musculoskeletal condition worldwide and is the leading cause of disability in the UK. In our recent study to identify research priorities in osteoarthritis, the highest priority question to patients was “What outcomes are important to patients?”[1]. Read more

Epilepsy and the ageing brain

Our ability to remember ‘where I put my car keys today’ instead of ‘where I put them yesterday’ depends on a computational process called pattern separation. Read more

Metabolomic characterisation of adiposity across the life course

There is evidence that adiposity, measured by body mass index (BMI), causally influences a range of health outcomes, but little understanding of the mechanisms driving BMI effects. Read more

Updating the background characteristics and risk factors associated with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) to inform risk-reduction messages and help target vulnerable families

Our team has been instrumental in reducing the number of cot deaths (SIDS or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) in England & Wales by 90% over the last three decades.[1] The remaining 2-300 unexpected infant deaths per year show a marked inequality, largely coming from socio-economically deprived communities.

Widening participation in economic evaluations alongside randomised controlled trials: developing resource-use questionnaires for underserved populations

When conducting a trial-based economic evaluation to assess the cost-effectiveness of a new treatment or drug, it is necessary to measure both the benefits (such as quality of life) and the costs associated with delivering the intervention[1]. Read more

Ultrafast Laser Spectroscopy of Photochemical Dynamics

Ultrafast Laser Spectroscopy of Photochemical Dynamics. Fully funded 3.5 year PhD studentships are available to start in September 2024 in the Orr-Ewing research group and the Oliver research group in the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol. Read more

4-year PhD Studentship: Towards Accurate Disease Surveillance: Deep Learning-Assisted Simulation of Bacterial Genomes

Public health surveillance programmes routinely collect vast amounts of pathogen genomics data each year. A pressing issue is how to best utilise this information for effective disease monitoring and management. Read more

4-year PhD Studentship: Multiscale comparative analysis of habitat selection by large carnivores in northern Botswana

About 38% of Botswana’s land area is reserved for wildlife conservation (Winterbach et al., 2014), providing important habitat for large carnivores and allowing for the study of intact large carnivore guilds. Read more

4-year PhD Studentship: Measurement of reward sensitivity as an indicator of welfare in chickens

Humans show a reduction in sensitivity to reward when suffering from clinical depression and similar changes have been demonstrated in laboratory rodents used as models for depression. Read more
