NIHR Leeds BRC: Improving understanding of the use and interpretation of risk prediction tools

There are many risk prediction tools developed but only a fraction make it to routine clinical use. The reasons are multiple, for example some are geographically specific, many remain unvalidated, some lack clinical utility. . Read more

NIHR Leeds BRC: Force sensing mechanisms of haemostasis in heart failure and diabetes

Since the original identification of the role of PIEZO1 in vascular integrity and endothelial cell biology by our group in Leeds in 2014, there have been many publications on the role of PIEZO1 in endothelial function and its role in processes such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, cell-cell junctions, vascular permeability and leukocyte diapedesis.

NIHR Leeds BRC: Development and application of fast Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging methods for metabolic profiling

Altered metabolism is a hallmark of many disease states, including cardiovascular and musculoskeletal conditions. Importantly, metabolic profiles may be patient-specific and may for example indicate susceptibility to treatment or malignancy. Read more

NIHR Leeds BRC: An interferon diagnostic to inform early detection and prevention strategies in Ana positive CTDs

Type I interferons (IFN) play a role in a wide range of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs), and strong evidence suggests that measurement of IFN activity could have clinical value, although testing has not progressed into clinical settings. Read more

PhD Studentship in Planetary/Interstellar Chemistry

  Research Group: School of Chemistry
The School of Chemistry is offering a PhD studentship, funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), in the general areas of planetary and interstellar chemistry. Read more

The Contribution of Lattice Vibrations to Switchable Spin-Crossover Crystals

  Research Group: School of Chemistry
Spin-crossover is a high-spin-to-low-spin transition at a transition metal centre, induced by temperature or pressure. It is common in iron chemistry, but also occurs in some compounds of other common metals. Read more

Towards digital evaluation of patient-specific wrist repair

  Research Group: School of Mechanical Engineering
A funded PhD is available to develop patient-specific evaluation of custom wrist repairs, in collaboration with industry partner Attenborough Medical. Read more

Epigenetics and Cancer: Determining how Mistakes in V(D)J Recombination Trigger Leukaemias and Lymphomas

V(D)J recombination is essential to produce an effective adaptive immune system but since the reaction involves breakage and rejoining of DNA, it is highly dangerous and errors have long been thought to lead to leukaemias and lymphomas. Read more

Understanding and predicting sensitivity of Amazonia’s forests to increasing heat and drought

Tropical forests fulfil important roles both for climate and biodiversity. They are exposed to a range of pressures including an increasingly hotter and erratic climate as well as changing atmospheric composition (particularly CO2 and N2O levels raising) (Lapola et al., 2023). Read more

Predicting impacts of freshwater invasions: from the individual to ecosystems

  Research Group: School of Biology
OVERVIEW. Biological invasions are a key driver of global change, causing irreversible ecosystem change, biodiversity loss and enormous economic burden. Read more

Sustainable delivery of materials through spray coating

  Research Group: School of Mechanical Engineering
Many materials have additional protection through modifying their surface properties. This PhD examines the fluid mechanics of this process. Read more
