Advanced analytics applied to endoscopic analysis of upper airway function
The project. Upper airway obstructions (‘wind problems’) affect the health, welfare and performance of racehorses and are best evaluated by performing endoscopy, however, assessment is subjective, attracting variable agreement. Read more
Investigating the mechanisms of fungal induced airway damage and biomarker production in asthma
Respiratory diseases such as asthma are a major global cause of morbidity and mortality. For instance, according to European Union estimates, asthma and COPD alone cost the economy approximately 40 billion Euros and responsible for around 200,000 deaths annually. Read more
Identification of Future Risk of an Attack in Paediatric Asthma
A 3 Year Fully-Funded (non-clinical) PhD Studentship at Imperial College London. Expected start date September 2023. Imperial College London. Read more
Investigating the mechanisms of airway wall remodelling in fungal sensitised asthma
Respiratory diseases such as asthma are a major global cause of morbidity and mortality. For instance, according to European Union estimates, asthma and COPD alone cost the economy approximately 40 billion Euros and responsible for around 200,000 deaths annually. Read more
Mechanistic toxicology and methods development for improving preclinical lead compounds selection
Applications are invited for a 4 year PhD studentship within the laboratory of Dr Vito Mennella at the MRC Toxicology Unit, University of Cambridge. To commence October 2023. Read more
Antimicrobial potency of the airway epithelium in health and disease
Background. Human lungs must balance elimination of a myriad of toxic or pathogenic particles inhaled daily with maintenance of tissue homeostasis to avoid lung disease and ultimately respiratory failure. Read more
Unravelling fibroblast-macrophage crosstalk in the lung and its role in inflammation and extracellular matrix remodelling
Fibroblasts are the most abundant cells within the tissue stroma. These cells are probably best known for their roles in synthesising and regulating the extracellular matrix (ECM), a 3D scaffold of molecules that provides architectural tissue support and influences tissue biology. Read more
Development of Nanomaterials for Targeting the Bacteria–Host Interface in Cystic Fibrosis Airways
The attachment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) to the airway mucus in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) represents an important step in airway colonization and the subsequent development of lung infection. Read more
Genomics of bacterial pathobionts and commensals of the human respiratory tract
. Bacterial colonisation of the human upper respiratory tract (URT) is a pre-requisite for multiple diseases including pneumonia, otitis media, sinusitis, exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and, less commonly, diseases resulting from bacteraemia such as meningitis. Read more
Magnetic resonance imaging studies of catalytic monoliths
This project aims to advance clean air technology for combustion gas management of exhaust from current engines fuelled by gasoline and diesel, but also for new and future generation technology. Read more
Commensal fungi in the lung: innocent bystanders or pathogenic orchestrators of severe asthma? Exeter Biomedical Research Centre - NIHR funded PhD Studentship for 2023/24 Entry,
About the Partnership. The National Institute for Health Research Biomedical Research Centre for Exeter (NIHR Exeter BRC) is a collaboration between University of Exeter (UoE), The Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHS Royal Devon) and other SW NHS organisations. Read more
The role of respiratory virus in lung remodelling and chronic lung disease
The lungs are constantly exposed to external stimuli and pathogens, as such, they are vulnerable to infection and injury. Lower respiratory tract infections are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, resulting in over 2 million deaths worldwide each year. Read more
