Anatomy
King’s College London
About the Project From the microscopic spines of a sea urchin to the layered architecture of a beetle's shell, nature has spent millions of years engineering structures of remarkable complexity and function.
Anatomy
University of Bath
About the Project This project is one of several in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed3 MRC Doctoral Landscape Programme (DLP), which is offering up to 17 studentships for entry in September 2026. The partnership brings together the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff and Exeter to develop the next generation of biomedical researchers.
Anatomy
University of Huddersfield
About the Project Approximately 2 million people in the UK live with visual impairments (VI) that significantly affect their daily activities and independence. Acquired, inherited, and congenital visual deficits can have a substantial impact on mobility, with walking gait being one of the most widely studied aspects of functional movement.
Anatomy
University of Liverpool
About the Project This project investigates the equine masticatory apparatus as a unique large animal model for resistance to sarcopenia. By expanding preliminary findings from the masseter to other jaw muscles (temporalis, pterygoids) and comparing them to vulnerable limb muscles, we aim to identify conserved molecular signatures that protect "essential" muscles from age-related decline.
Anatomy
Cardiff University
About the Project Project Description Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder and is associated with a range of motor and cognitive symptoms. While dopamine replacement strategies, such as L-DOPA, effectively impact on motor impairments, much less is understood about the origin of the cognitive features and few treatment options are available to address these symptoms.

University of Birmingham
About the Project Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) consists of two syndromes, Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and Parkinson’s Disease with Dementia (PDD). Cognitive and motor symptom order differs, but phenotypes eventually converge. Dopaminergic (DA) neurons within a midbrain structure, the Substantia Nigra pars compacta, degenerate extensively during both LBD syndromes. Pathological molecular interactions between misfolded protein aggregates (e.g.
