4-year fully funded PhD programme on vascular contributions to dementia across leading UK universities, with lab rotations and interdisciplinary training in neurodegeneration research.
Project Description
This PhD programme, funded by the British Heart Foundation and the UK Dementia Research Institute, focuses on understanding how vascular factors contribute to dementia and neurodegeneration.
The programme is delivered collaboratively across:
University of Edinburgh
University of Oxford
University of Leicester
University College London
Students will undertake a rotational first year, gaining experience across multiple laboratories and research techniques before selecting a specific project and supervisor for the remaining three years.
Research topics span a wide range of areas within vascular dementia and neurodegeneration, providing interdisciplinary exposure across biological and physical sciences. The programme aims to develop researchers capable of addressing complex mechanisms underlying brain disease and ageing.
Entry Requirements
At least an upper second-class degree (2:1) in Biological or Physical Sciences (or expected)
Strong interest in neuroscience, vascular biology, or neurodegeneration
