Metabolic programming: Role of micronutrient (B12) deficiency and associated epigenetic marks

The global epidemic of childhood obesity is a major public health issue. Although current adverse lifestyle (nutrition and physical inactivity) contributes to obesity, a growing body of evidence links early life nutritional adversity to the development of obesity and metabolic disorders in children.

Exploring the molecular mechanisms of skin aging process and understanding the relationship between skin aging and systemic aging

Applicants are invited for fully funded 3 years full time PhD studentships, starting from 1st February 2023, or 1st April 2023, or 1st October 2023 at latest, based in the School of Pharmacy, The University of Nottingham. Read more

The role of calcium signalling in regulating of tumour cell behaviour

Metastasis is the major cause of mortality in human cancers, yet we know relatively little of the fundamental biology that underlies the important transition to invasive malignancy. Read more

How to build and maintain a 3-dimensional polarised epithelial sheet

We are interested in how cells maintain normal cell shape within an epithelium. Correct epithelial cell shape is essential to maintain tissue integrity and when deregulated can cause diseases such as malignant cancers, diabetes, inflammation, and aging. Read more

Structure and function of enzyme complexes involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation

Many proteins in human cells function as part of high molecular weight multi-subunit assemblies. The structure and function of such large molecular machines is often difficult to characterise due to their complexity, low abundance and structural dynamics. Read more

Epigenomic transcriptomic mechanisms underlying human neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases

This project aims to use high throughput sequencing technologies and molecular approaches to understand how RNA epitranscriptomic processes contribute to susceptibility to human disorders of the brain. Read more

Exosome biogenesis and organelle trafficking in neurodegeneration.

Scientific summary. Intracellular transport pathways are fundamental for cell structure and function. Due to their longevity, complex morphology (long axonal and dendritic extensions) and requirement to maintain synaptic transmission, neurons are heavily dependent upon intracellular transport.

Optimising novel pre- and rehabilitation strategies to improve the physiological resilience of older surgical patients

PhD Description. In addition to rehabilitation, which has long been employed as method to enhance recovery from clinical stress events, there is burgeoning clinical and research interest in prehabilitation, an approach employed to prepare individuals for these events. Read more

Exploring the multi-organ benefits of Rapamune in relation to ageing physiology

PhD Description. Drug repurposing is an emerging avenue of research in the field of Geroscience; a field whose stated aim is to “accelerate research into the basic mechanisms driving ageing which could lead to improved clinical interventions”. Read more

Exploring the role of habitual physical activity in driving physiological ageing

PhD Description. Robust evidence regarding the biological mechanisms responsible for the health benefits of physical activity, and the detrimental impacts of inactivity is lacking. Read more

Developmental consequences of heat stress during early mammalian embryogenesis

Epidemiological evidence in humans indicates that acute heat exposure around the time of mating results in pregnancy loss, with potential long-term consequences for offspring health and wellbeing; although these latter adverse effects are poorly understood. Read more

Elucidating the role of lipids in fibrotic capsule formation at the surface of implanted medical devices.

Implanted medical devices are crucial in healthcare, valued at around £400 billion globally, however there is a high failure rate, often due to the foreign body reaction, where a fibrotic capsule forms around the implant with associated inflammation, loosening and infection. Read more
