PhD Opportunity in Fat Metabolism and Heart Failure at University of Oxford

PhD opportunity at the University of Oxford in a collaborative project with Prof Oliver Rider and Lisa Heather (Associate Professor). The project is supported by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) Oxford Centre of Research Excellence . The research will investigate how changes in fat metabolism contribute to the development of heart failure , with the broader goal of improving understanding of the metabolic mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disease . This is a strong fit for candidates interested in cardiovascular research , metabolism , and disease mechanism studies. The post is looking for an enthusiastic and motivated PhD student . No detailed eligibility criteria, deadline, or funding breakdown are provided in the post, but the project is explicitly described as funded by BHF. Interested applicants should use the linked opportunity page for next steps and follow the application instructions there.
