Molecular Biology (heart disease) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 43 Molecular Biology (heart disease) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Biomechanical signalling in human heart disease

About the Project. The human heart undergoes more than 2 billion beats throughout an individual's lifetime, with its rhythm precisely regulated by signalling events that continuously adapt to the biomechanical stress exerted on the ventricular walls. Read more

Bioengineering a dynamic culture platform to improve the maturity of iPSC-derived muscle organoids

About the project. Heart disease is a critical health burden and leading cause of mortality worldwide. To understand disease mechanisms and develop future treatments for heart disease, we have developed a human cardiac organoid platform derived from pluripotent stem cells. Read more

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

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

Self funded MSc by Research or PhD in Biology: Ion channel signalling in cancer cells

Lead supervisor: Dr W Brackenbury. The student will be registered with the Department of Biology. Our cells constantly sense and transport ions present in their environment. Read more

Ion channel signalling in cancer cells

Our cells constantly sense and transport ions present in their environment. From embryonic development to epilepsy to heart disease to cancer, our cells’ ability to respond to changes in the ionic microenvironment is essential for healthy ageing. Read more

Role of RyR2 posttranslational modification in arrhythmias

Cardiac arrhythmias remain the leading cause of death in patients with heart disease. An important trigger for arrhythmias is the inappropriate opening of the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2). Read more

Investigating the metabolic link between leukaemia and heart failure (RUSHWORTHS_U24BIGC)

Primary supervisor - Dr Stuart Rushworth. Secondary supervisor - Dr James Smith. Rushworth Lab. This 4-year PhD project funded by the Big C cancer charity represents an exciting opportunity to develop and conduct research at the forefront of cancer research. Read more
