This part-time, practice-based PhD at Aston University investigates longitudinal changes in the ocular surface and tear film, with a particular focus on dry eye disease in both adults and children. The project is designed for candidates in routine eyecare practice and can be completed over up to six years, with much of the research conducted remotely. The study aims to address gaps in the literature regarding untreated and treated patients, as well as the impact of treatment compliance, using to...

This PhD project at Aston University focuses on advancing episignature analysis for chromatin disorders, a group of epigenetic developmental disorders (EDDs) associated with clinical complications such as developmental delay, congenital anomalies, and endocrine issues. EDDs include congenital imprinting disorders and conditions caused by germline pathogenic variants in genes regulating chromatin structure and function. The genetic complexity and heterogeneity of these disorders make variant inte...
