This PhD position at the University of Birmingham investigates how brains age, remain healthy, or develop diseases such as Alzheimer's. The research spans multiple levels of analysis, from molecular and cellular changes to whole-brain connectome alterations. The project aims to uncover the biological mechanisms underlying healthy ageing and neurodegeneration, with a particular focus on Alzheimer's disease. Students will have the opportunity to explore cutting-edge techniques in neurobiology, including molecular and cellular assays, as well as advanced imaging and connectomics.

The position is ideal for candidates interested in understanding the complex interplay between biological processes and brain health, and in contributing to the development of strategies for maintaining cognitive function and preventing disease. The University of Birmingham provides a vibrant research environment with access to state-of-the-art facilities and interdisciplinary collaboration. Funding details and specific entry requirements are not provided in the current description. Interested applicants should consult the university's website or contact the relevant department for further information about application procedures and eligibility criteria.
