Statistical genetics approaches to investigate autoimmune inflammatory muscle disease for precision medicine
Keywords. statistical genetics, precision medicine, autoimmune, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, myositis, disease classification, machine learning. Read more
The potential utility of human regulatory T cell-deriVed ExtRacellular veSicles to control inflammation in rheUmatoid arthiritiS (VERSUS)
One in every 16 of people in the UK live with an autoimmune condition causing them pain, difficulty, lost opportunities in work and in life, and in many cases placing them at risk of early death. Autoimmunity occurs when the immune system attacks the body. Read more
Understanding disease mechanisms in autoimmune inflammatory muscle disease
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are a spectrum of rare autoimmune disorders characterized by inflammation of muscle tissue (myositis), which leads to muscle weakness and fatigue, and heterogeneous systemic organ involvement. Read more
Determining how immune responses are regulated at mucosal surfaces
The immune system must be primed to quickly respond to infection, but must also be tightly regulated so it ignores harmless substances and our own tissues. Read more
(NIHR) Epidemiology of coeliac disease and inflammatory bowel disease and economic burden of delayed diagnosis in primary care in England
Coeliac disease and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are among the most common chronic autoimmune conditions affecting the gastrointestinal system in the UK. Read more
Using multi-omics to discover prognostic biomarkers for Multiple Sclerosis onset and progression
About the research project. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a devastating autoimmune neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system, caused by an interplay between environmental and genetic factors. Read more
Understanding the role of ubiquitination on STING-mediated immune regulation following DNA damage
Research Group:
The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research
STING regulates the innate immune response to viral infection but is also activated in response to DNA damage. This project aims to provide a comprehensive and unbiased analysis of the role of Ub mediated STING regulation in response to DNA damage and its impact on innate immune activation. Read more
Next Generation High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy in the Wolfson Imaging Facility
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
To better understand diseases and to develop new treatment options, we need to understand very fast biological processes occurring at single molecule level. Read more
The innate immune response to respiratory viral infection in diabetes: is glucose control the key?
Department of Infectious Diseases| Faculty of Medicine. . 3-year funded PhD position. The innate immune response to respiratory viral infection in diabetes. Read more
Deciphering the landscape of nucleoporin and lamin function in nucleocytoplasmic communication, nuclear scaffolding and transcriptional control in disease prevention
The nucleus has an instrumental role in cellular responses by coordinating shuttling of components in and out of the nucleus and gene expression with genome architecture and stability. Read more

Ambulatory monitoring of Raynaud’s phenomenon and systemic sclerosis associated microcirculation
Systemic sclerosis (SSc), a microvascular autoimmune disease, causes damage to the small blood vessels (microvasculature). Although rare it has the highest mortality of all rheumatological conditions and causes significant morbidity. Read more
Co-designing a peer-led digital resource to support people living with Rheumatoid Arthritis to improve adherence with medication.
Project Overview. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease. Poor adherence to treatment may result in poor health outcomes; enhancing adherence can therefore improve overall effectiveness of treatment. Read more
