Biochemistry (cardiovascular) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 28 Biochemistry (cardiovascular) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

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.

Examining the mechanisms that cause cardiovascular disease by studying the heart or adipose tissue

Heart failure has a serious impact on our society and once diagnosed has a poor survival rate. In the United Kingdom, there are about 1.5 million people living with the after-effects of a heart attack. 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

Molecular mechanisms of the increase in maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) with regular exercise

  Research Group: PENRG - Physiology Exercise and Nutrition Research Group
Performing regular exercise is crucial for good health and wellbeing, whereas failing to perform sufficient exercise increases the risk of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, etc. Read more

Using CRISPR in iPS cells to modify platelet function

Project Overview. Platelets are the small cells in the blood whose job it is to prevent bleeding. Under normal conditions, when they encounter a damaged blood vessel they become activated and form a thrombus. Read more

Developing multifunctional biomaterials: an anti-infective and pro-endothelialisation polymer graft

This project is one of 14 four year PhD Studentships funded by Medical Research Scotland (MRS) (https://www.medicalresearchscotland.org.uk) to be delivered jointly by the named University and External Partner Organisation (EPO). Read more

Mechanisms underlying the effects of activated protein C (APC) in cardiac muscle

  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
APC is an anticoagulant enzyme that also exerts antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic and a variety of other cytoprotective effects in different tissues, where the mechanism of action is thought to involve the endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) and a protease activated receptor (PAR). Read more

The effect of early-life stress on cardiac function in later life

Stressful experiences in early childhood can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in later life. How early-life stress (ELS) influences susceptibility to CVD onset remains largely unknown. Read more

Molecular Mechanisms of Receptor and Ion Channel Regulation in Pain and Inflammation

Are you ready to delve into the captivating world of molecular signaling and unravel the mysteries of the cardiovascular and nervous systems? We are thrilled to offer an exhilarating PhD opportunity at the forefront of scientific exploration. Read more

Therapeutic resolution of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) by natural products

  Research Group: Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating cardiovascular disorder which, if left untreated, leads to heart failure and death. Read more

Development of a personalized therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)

  Research Group: Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating cardiovascular disorder which, if left untreated, leads to heart failure and death. Read more
