Funding Opportunity: Grants from Alzheimer’s Society
Alzheimer’s Society has now launched its 2022/23 research funding schemes offering 10 grants at key stages of a research career. These schemes will support researchers to deliver the biomedical breakthroughs and care innovations that people affected by dementia...
MSc by Research: Discovery of targeted protein degrader probes for central nervous system disease research
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an MSc at the University of Dundee. The Farnaby group, located in the new University of Dundee Centre for Targeted Protein Degradation, is seeking to use an emerging type of drug modality to provide chemical tools that can help...
PhD Studentship: Towards restoring memory dysfunction in prodromal Alzheimer’s Disease
Brains contain billions of specialised cells, called neurons, which are the fundamental building blocks of every circuit in the nervous system. The principal purpose of a neuron is to transmit information: when they receive sufficient input from other neurons, they...
MSc by Research: ADP-ribosylation in dementia and motor neuron disease
ADP-ribosylation is a fundamental posttranslational modification where ADP-ribose is linked on to target proteins by ADP-ribose transferases and removed by the ADP-ribose hydrolases. Emerging data implicate ADP-ribosylation in maintaining the health of the nervous...
PhD Studentship: Maintaining online identity after a cognitive impairment
This vital PhD at the University of Strathclyde is supervised by Prof Wendy Moncur. It focusses on how people can continue to use their online accounts after a cognitive impairment – for example, a brain injury or the onset of dementia. Online accounts include social...
