PhD opportunity in astrocyte biology and molecular neuroscience at Cardiff University This funded PhD project, titled Silent Architects: Uncovering How Astrocytes Shape Brain Health , is based at Cardiff University, Cardiff School of Medicine, in the United Kingdom. The project investigates how astrocytes regulate brain function, including neuronal activity, metabolism, extracellular matrix organisation, and resilience to disease. The research will focus on novel astrocyte-enriched genes and sig...

Cardiff University is advertising a funded PhD project on unravelling the physiological drivers of sleep-dependent glymphatic flow in Alzheimer’s disease using advanced MRI . The project sits in the Cardiff School of Physics and Astronomy and is supervised by Prof Kevin Murphy . The research is part of the SleepBoost study, a £4.3m multi-centre investigation into how improving slow-wave sleep may enhance waste clearance in the brain and potentially slow or reverse Alzheimer’s disease pathology. ...
