Identifying causal pathways to disease using DNA methylation derived scores.

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. DNA methylation is an epigenetic biomarker that has been shown to reflect lifestyle and biological factors (smoking, alcohol use, chronological age). Read more

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

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

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

Harms to children and young people in the UK due to health service delays in management of eye/vision conditions.

Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust GOSH BRC Applied Child Health Informatics Theme (Non-Clinical) PhD Studentships

Childhood visual impairment is uncommon in industrialised countries, with the all-cause prevalence in the UK of 2 per 1000 and a cumulative incidence (‘life time risk by age 16 years’) of 5.9 (5.3-6.5) per 10000 (1). Read more

Understanding the role of adiponectin in kidney disease development at a population level

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Reduced circulating adiponectin levels are associated with poor outcome in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) (1). Adiponectin has been shown to be protective against the development of DKD in Type 2 diabetic models (2, 3, 4). Read more

The genetic map of human molecular phenotypes

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. Genome wide associations studies (GWASs) have discovered many genetic associations with a large range of human traits, but the functional consequences of GWAS signals often remain elusive, as most GWAS signals reside in non-coding genomic regions. Read more

Establishing the feasibility of serial optical coherence tomography-otoscopy and microbiological testing in children with suspected acute otitis media in primary care: systematic review and prospective cohort study

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Supervisors. Professor Alastair Hay (lead), Dr Ashley Hammond,. Rationale. Acute otitis media (AOM) is a common, painful condition of childhood, often treated inappropriately with antibiotics. Read more
