Employing molecular virology to investigate hepatitis E virus replication
This project is available to self funded candidates only. The Herod lab has a broad interest in virus replication, with a particular interest in studying single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses important for human and animal health. Read more
Liver immunology, regeneration and viral infection projects (SARS-CoV-2, hepatitis viruses)
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for immunology research to join the Viral and Liver Immunology group led by Dr Zania Stamataki. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Understanding the molecular basis for zoonosis of hepatitis E virus.
The recent coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the importance of understanding how viruses can cross barrier between species. Hepatitis E virus (HEV) can be transmitted to humans via animal species such as pigs and deer (e.g. Read more
Investigating cause-specific hospitalisations among people living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy
This project aims to investigate rates of hospitalisations due to different causes among people with HIV on antiretroviral therapy, and how they differ by subgroups, for example, by gender or age. Read more
Viral-surface interactions studied by vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy
The recent COVID-19 pandemic, and in particular fomite transmission of the virus, led to a lot of interest in how viral particles attached to surfaces, their survival times on different materials and how they transferred to hosts. Read more
Regulation of intestinal immune responses to commensal bacteria by innate lymphoid cells
Commensal bacteria present in the gastrointestinal tract provide beneficial roles for the host, such as supporting nutrient metabolism. Read more
Engineering Virus-Like Particles (VLPS) for the Next-Generation Vaccines
Virus-like particles (VLPs) are molecules that mimic viruses and will trigger immune response when introduced into body. As they do not contain any viral genetic material, they are not infectious. Read more
Mathematical modelling of transmission and worldwide distribution of neglected zoonotic diseases (Q fever)
A 3-year fully funded position is available to contribute substantially to the development of a new modelling approach for the prediction and control of zoonotic diseases (Q fever). Read more
The development of new antiviral agents targeting HIV-1
Even before the current global COVID-19 pandemic, the threat posed to human health by viruses was extensive and although significant progress in targeting some viruses (e.g., HIV-1 and hepatitis C) has been made, challenges remain. Read more
Virology: Unique Antiviral Therapy targeting Zika and Related Viruses
Zika Virus (ZIKV) has emerged as a new mosquito-borne threat to public health after the devastating South American outbreak. Read more
