[UK] PhD Studentship in Heart Failure at University of Manchester

PhD Studentship in Heart Failure at University of Manchester

Overview
The objective of this PhD project is to use molecular, cellular and whole animal approaches to investigate the mechanisms by which ketoglutarate, through GPR99 receptor, modifies the cardiac response against pathological stimuli.

The prevalence of heart failure (HF) in the UK is increasing with close to 1 million individuals with HF in the UK alone due to an increase in the ageing population. Prognosis of HF remains poor, however, advances in the management of HF are limited because the pathophysiological mechanisms are incompletely understood. Using metabolomics analysis we have shown significant increases in the metabolite ketoglutarate in the serum of HF patients.
