Harnessing the genetics of DNA methylation to understand context-specific gene regulation in disease

Project Background. Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have discovered many genetic associations with health outcomes. However, most GWAS signals reside in non-coding regions and it is likely that GWAS variants confer their effects through a regulatory mechanism. Read more

Investigating the links between β-amyloid, osteoporosis and frailty in Alzheimer’s disease

Background. Individuals with Alzheimer’s disease are more likely to suffer from osteoporosis (the loss of bone mass and strength) than age-matched individuals1, significantly contributing to the frailty associated with dementia. Read more

Sustainable Chemicals Innovations Enabling Net Carbon Emissions (SCIENCE)

A PhD studentship working with Professor Darren Walsh is available for a 2023 start as part a major collaborative project (EPSRC Prosperity Partnership) between Lubrizol and the Universities of Nottingham and Warwick. Read more

Exploring Innovative Approaches in Chronic Pain: Focus on Neuropathic pain and Spinal Cord Stimulation

Pain can be a debilitating long-term and persistent symptom in many medical conditions, adversely affecting quality of life. Neuropathic pain originates from nervous system damage, resulting in deficits in neural transmission leading to sensory, autonomic, and motor impairment. Read more

Modelling the Role of Hard Particles in Hard Facing Alloys

Supervisory Team: Robert Wood, Georges Limbert and Dave Stewart (RRSL). Project description. Hard facing alloys, such as those used in nuclear power plant, are composite materials comprising carbides (and other hard phases), in galling resistant metallic matrices. Read more

Understanding shale rock swelling for energy systems: novel integrated modelling and experimental approaches

A fully funded PhD position is available in the group of Professor Carbone (Department of Chemistry) and Professor Taylor (Department of Earth Science) at the University of Manchester starting from September 2024. Read more

Particle-surface adhesive forces and their role in resuspension phenomena

This project will be undertaken through the EPSRC Aerosol Science CDT with the University of Bristol and the University of Bath. Resuspension of coarse particles is a significant source of aerosol particles and can pose an enduring health risk (e.g. Read more

Investigating how mitochondrial dynamics control mtDNA homeostasis and engineering tools to visualise mtDNA molecules

Mitochondria are dynamic organelles forming a specific network by membrane remodeling events according to cellular needs1. Mitochondria contain multiple copies of their own genome, mtDNA, a circular molecule that encodes essential proteins involved in cellular energy production. Read more
