cardiovascular disease PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 84 cardiovascular disease PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

NIHR Leeds BRC: Utilising genetic and genomic predictors of vasculitis and disease/treatment complications for application in routine clinical practice

There is substantial interest in using genetic biomarkers to predict those most at risk of disease and treatment complications; this is one of the focuses of Our Future Health, a national study aiming to recruit 5M participants ( https://ourfuturehealth.org.uk/ ). Read more

Identifying novel inflammatory pathways and using them to develop new therapeutics

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in cardiovascular immunology, chronic inflammatory diseases (e.g., Atherosclerosis, psoriasis, other diseases with a chronic inflammatory component) drug discovery/ development of novel therapeutics, to join the Cardiovascular Immunology group led by Prof Ed Rainger. Read more

Disease mechanisms in the heart

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in inherited cardiac conditions (cardiomyopathies) and biomechanical stress signalling led by Dr Katja Gehmlich (https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/cardiovascular-sciences/gehmlich-katja.aspx). Read more

Platelets in health, ageing and disease: new diagnostics and treatments

Platelets are small blood cells that play a vital role in the chronic and acute progression of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), and also have roles in immunity, inflammation, cancer metastasis, Alzheimer's disease and a range of infections, such as dengue, HIV-1, malaria, and COVID-19. Read more

Extracellular vesicles in health and disease

Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is associated with classical and emerging risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD), correlates with disease progression and is an independent predictor of the risk of future cardiovascular events. Read more

Cardiovascular and Neuromuscular Functions around the Clock: Harnessing Protective Endogenous Mechanisms towards Smarter Design of Novel Therapies and Interventions

Optimal tissue and organ is essential for long-term health and quality of life. One such important regulator within the body is related to circadian rhythms, which control ~24h cycles in many physiological processes such as sleep/wake cycles, physical activity/rest cycles, drug metabolism and hormones. Read more

Circadian mechanisms in psoriasis: therapeutic opportunities

Hallmark features of psoriasis symptoms vary through time, suggesting an important role for circadian circuits in driving disease expression, and offering the potential of chronotherapy. Read more

Investigation of short-term effects of colchicine on blood proteins using proteomics

The anti-inflammatory medication colchicine has been shown to significantly improve cardiovascular outcomes post heart attack and in chronic heart disease patient groups, suggesting it may be a suitable candidate for repurposing in cardiovascular diseases. Read more

Investigating the role of thymosin beta 10 in feline chronic kidney disease

Chronic kidney disease is an extremely common but heterogeneous condition in cats that adversely affects their health and welfare and is the most frequent cause of death in cats over five years of age. Read more

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

The INDICO-II Study – Effects of Body Composition and Dietary Improvement on Cell Membrane Dynamics and their Relationship with the Aetiology of Type II Diabetes

The InDiCo Study (Inflammation, Diets, body Composition) is a pre-clinical study conducted at the University of Worcester. The InDiCo Study is currently unravelling links between diets that favour a pro-inflammatory environment with biomarkers of cell function and body composition. Read more
