PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on Mitochondrial Genetic Determinants of Multiple Sclerosis . This project investigates how mitochondrial genetic variants influence the outcome of multiple sclerosis (MS) . The research builds on prior genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that have identified more than 200 autosomal variants associated with MS, while extending the analysis to the mitochondrial genome. Using a dedicated mitochondrial var...

The successful candidate will help develop and maintain a structured living ...

This PhD project at Maastricht University and Maastricht UMC+ explores how the smallest blood vessels in the brain contribute to dementia and the clearance of harmful waste products from brain tissue. The work is part of the MODEM consortium, which studies the biological mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of dementia. You will investigate the neurovascular unit, with a particular focus on how capillaries interact with surrounding brain tissue and how microvascular function may relat...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, and medical image analysis . The project, Artificial intelligence techniques for illness detection by using MRI , focuses on developing AI methods to detect hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) in newborn babies by analysing MRI / Susceptibility Weighted Images (SWIs) . The aim is to identify brain injury earlier than the current clinical practice and to help clinicians target early ...
