Investigating how large-scale genome instability in fungi contributes to the host-pathogen interactions.
Fungal infections affect billions of people, including >1.5 million global deaths each year. Our failure to achieve cure against fungal infections results from the high levels of tolerance and resistance to antifungal drugs in clinical fungal isolates. Read more
Metals and host-pathogen interactions: the role of metal handling systems in the human gastrointestinal pathogen Campylobacter jejuni
Campylobacter jejuni is a globally important food-borne pathogen causing an estimated 400-500 million cases of acute human gastroenteritis each year. Read more
Host-pathogen interaction during parasite infection using organoid models
Stem cell derived tissue organoids is a cell culture method which generates a physiologically accurate 3D model of organs in an in vitro setting. Read more
Generation of organoid models to investigate the role of bacterial pathogens in cancer onset and progression
Applications are invited for a PhD (via MPhil) studentship within the School of Medicine. The studentship is funded through the UCLan Doctoral Training Centre for Industry Collaboration and is tenable for up to 3.5 years full time [subject to satisfactory progress]. Read more
Protein structure-function analyses of proteins essential for intracellular survival of tick-borne bacteria
Anaplasma are tick-borne pathogens that cause disease in a wide range of different host organisms and have massive impacts on global livestock industries. Read more
Cellular senescence: investigating a novel hijack target of the typhoid pathogen Salmonella Typhi
Background and Timeliness. The world faces epidemics of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) typhoid fever caused by Salmonella Typhi that underlies 12 million cases / 129 000 deaths each year. Read more
Evaluate the efficacy and safety of universal, allogeneic CAR-T cell therapies
A 3-year full-time PhD studentship is available in the Biotherapeutics and Advanced Therapies Team within the Science, Research and Innovation operational group (SR&I) of the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), in collaboration with the Division of Infection & Immunity at University College London. Read more
How does air pollution increase the risk of bacterial respiratory infection?
Air pollution is a major risk to human health, exacerbating systemic cardiovascular and respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Read more
Environmental distribution, aquacultural consequences and development of nature-based water treatment technologies for mass pharmaceutical interventions during global pandemics
Currently over 756 million confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 infections have caused over 6.7 million deaths. Preparedness for future global pandemics must consider the wider environmental consequences following such catastrophic events. Read more
PhD studentship: Development of immunocompetent organotypic skin models to investigate Candida albicans-host interactions and test antifungal therapies
Overview. Organotypic models of the skin are used by industry to determine whether compounds are potential allergens. However, current models can only determine the role of innate immune responses in sensitisation. Read more
Establishing an effective 3D cell culture model for the study of infectious respiratory diseases
Infectious respiratory diseases pose serious threats to human and animal health due to their high mortality and morbidity rates. Lung structure and composition varies between species. Read more
MSc by Research: Understanding temperature-dependent virulence regulation in bacterial pathogens
Bacterial pathogens respond rapidly to environmental change, in ways that can influence their growth, virulence, antimicrobial resistance and, therefore, infection outcomes. Read more
Elucidating the pathobiology of Candida albicans
The Hall lab is interested in understanding the biology and virulence factors of fungal pathogens. Our research largely focuses on the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans, which causes a range of infections from superficial mucosal infections (i.e. Read more
