PhD opportunity in healthy ageing and health inequalities at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) This post advertises a fully funded PhD through the Barts Charity Doctoral Training Programme at QMUL. The project asks how to measure healthy ageing in a way that has real-world impact and helps reduce health inequalities , with a focus on East London. The example motivating the project highlights differences in healthy life expectancy between Tower Hamlets and Richmond. The project title shown i...

Funded PhD project at the University of Bristol (School of Psychology and Neuroscience) on the relationship between sleep and Alzheimer’s disease, combining human genomics, AI/bioinformatics, and Drosophila disease modelling. The project asks how clock and sleep genes affect ageing and Alzheimer’s disease. You will analyse circadian and sleep measures from large cohorts, use whole-genome sequencing and multi-omic datasets, apply AI and machine learning to predict variant effects, and test candid...
