-
Biomechanics of aortic dissection
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Use advanced MR imaging and computational modelling to predict the risk of tears in the aorta.
-
Developing a novel approach to study cardiac mitochondria in health and right-heart failure
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: We will develop a method to study mitochondria in their natural heart environment, to investigate mitochondrial dysfunction in right-heart failure.
-
Unravelling the role of lymphatics in vaping associated lung injury
FULLY FUNDED: This project will involve a world first study - using combined experimental and computational approaches - to determine the impact of vaping on the lungs and lung lymphatic vessels.
-
Electromechanical mapping of the gut using flexible electronics and cameras
FULLY FUNDED: In this project multi-modal techniques will be developed and utilised, involving flexible electronics and cameras, to gain an integrated understanding of the control mechanisms of the gut.
-
Food protein digestion model in relation to age
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: We want to establish a model to simulate the digestion of protein in relation to age, using in vitro digestion and clinical MRI methods. Results will be developed into a computational model.
-
Treating right-heart failure from an energetics perspective
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: This project is highly topical as it addresses the urgent need for improved and effective treatment options for patients with right-heart failure.
-
Computable model reuse improves credibility?
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Model credibility is a critical determinant for successful clinical translation. Standardised and automated model reuse improves model credibility, or does it?
-
Deep learning for precise timing of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy via EEG and seizure pattern analysis
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: This project utilises deep learning to determine the exact timing of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in neonates using EEG within the first 6-hours of life when hypothermia treatment is most effective.
-
Artificial intelligence for cancer imaging data analysis
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Want to explore how artificial intelligence can transform cancer imaging? This project focuses on developing AI models for lesion segmentation, radiomics and improved cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
-
Beating heart disease - non-invasive and non-contact diagnosis of cardiovascular disease
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Want to study cardiovascular disease diagnostics using imaging and AI? This project focuses on camera-based imaging to estimate pressure waveforms with signal processing and machine learning methods.
-
Unravelling the structure-function relation in congenital human cardiac hypertrophy
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: This project uses cutting-edge experimentation, imaging and computational modelling techniques to understand the mechanisms underlying human cardiac hypertrophy.
-
Deep learning for DNA methylation-based classification and diagnosis of glioblastoma brain tumours
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: This project aims to harness deep learning for precise DNA methylation-based classification of glioblastoma brain tumours to enhance diagnostic accuracy for targeted and personalised treatments.
-
Pacemakers of the gut: Development of next generation stomach pacing techniques
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Want to apply a variety of engineering techniques to solve clinical problems? This project will develop new electrical pacing techniques to act as a new therapy for debilitating stomach disorders.
-
How do new weight-loss drugs work, and how do they alter gut activity?
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Want to help figure out how the new weight-loss drugs work? This project will help determine how activity in the stomach changes in response to these drugs.
-
Markerless cell sorting
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: In this ME or PhD project, you'll develop new methods for rapidly identifying different types of living cells, while keeping them healthy, and safe for human use.
-
