YES-27-D-19: How do Slow Earthquakes work? Using field, microstructural and -chemical evidence in combination with targeted experiments to gain a deep understanding of Slow Earthquakes

In this exciting project, you will focus on the processes associated with Slow Earthquakes and Slow Slip events. Until now, the processes that enable deformation at rates slower than “normal” earthquakes, but faster than the commonly observed creep, remain elusive. Read more

Mechanisms and exploitation of phage host hijacking

By the year 2050, it is estimated that antimicrobial resistance will generate 10 million excess deaths per year. There is a major threat from the so-called ESKAPE pathogens, including vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), due to failing of front-line drugs. Read more

Evolution of antimicrobial resistance: how faulty replication supercharges a superbug

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical threat to global health. Because developing new antibiotics is extremely challenging, we must protect current treatments and for that understanding how resistance mutations arise is essential. Read more

How do African trypanosomes evade complement attack?

African trypanosomes sustain chronic infections despite being constantly exposed to the host immune system. In response, these single-celled parasites of mammalian blood have evolved an extraordinary cell surface centred on extreme antigenic variation, which they use to evade adaptative immunity. Read more
