The impact of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators on immune cell function following microbial infection
This fully funded, 4-year PhD project is funded by The Chloe Fund studentship that was set up in memory of Chloe whose life was affected by cystic fibrosis. Read more
ITCH-CF: Investigating The Cardiovascular Health of people living with Cystic Fibrosis in the CFTR modulator era
As life-expectancy improves for people living with cystic fibrosis (pwCF), new challenges in optimally managing an older, co-morbid population are likely to arise. Read more
3-year PhD studentship: 3D printing in vitro models to understand the impact of the bacterial biofilm/host environment on the effectiveness of antimicrobials in cystic fibrosis - (ENG 1624)
Supervisors. Professor Miguel Camara (School of Life Sciences), Professor Ricky Wildman (Faculty of Engineering), Professor Felicity Rose (School of Pharmacy) and Dr Helen Barr (Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust). Read more
SELF-FUNDING MSc BY RESEARCH PROJECT: Cystic fibrosis: restoring ion transport with small molecules
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by dysfunction of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a unique ATP-binding cassette transporter that functions as an ATP-gated anion channel, playing a pivotal role in salt and water movement across epithelial tissues (1). 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
Clinical: Gastroesophageal reflux in respiratory disease: pathogenic role and improved management
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which stomach contents, such as food and acid pass into the gullet/oesophagus causing heartburn. GERD is very common in patients with lung disease, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF). Read more
Development of a personalized therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)
Research Group:
Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating cardiovascular disorder which, if left untreated, leads to heart failure and death. Read more
Nanoparticle delivery of antibiotics for treatment of pulmonary infection
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major global risk to human health by causing death, disability, longer hospitalisations, and increased healthcare costs. Read more
Investigating interactions between temperate bacteriophages and their bacterial hosts
Our research focuses on Bacteriophages (phages), which are viruses that infect and kill bacteria, but can also form partnerships as prophages, acting like internal puppet masters to change the fundamental biology of their bacterial hosts. Read more
Optimising accessibility and understanding the mechanisms of change of online resilience interventions for young people with chronic conditions
As of 2020, there are approximately 5,000 people under 18 years old with cystic fibrosis (CF) in the. United Kingdom. The transition from paediatric to adult services for adolescents with CF can be. Read more
Regulation of virulence and biofilm formation by quorum sensing and the "stress alarmone" ppGpp in gram-negative pathogenic bacteria.
We are investigating the complex interplay between cell-cell signalling (quorum sensing), microbial lifestyle (i.e., free-living planktonic cultures vs sessile biofilm communities), growth phase and virulence in gram-negative bacteria. Read more
