Overview. Immune checkpoint pathways determine the abilities of human malignant tumours to escape cytotoxic immune attack and thus progress the disease. Read more

The innate immune system can display characteristics of immunological memory. This phenomenon, termed “trained immunity”, refers to the long-term functional reprogramming of innate immune cells after the encounter with infectious or non-infectious agents that influences their capacity to respond to a secondary stimulus.

Supervisor. Luca Urbani. The interaction of tumour microenvironment (TME) with cancer cells is closely involved with tumour development, progression and drug resistance. Read more
Theme Overview. The SPICeD project (Spatial transcriptomics to understand Parenchymal-Immune interactions in CoeliacDisease) is a DPhil project to discover and understand cell-cell interactions in the intestinal mucosa in coeliac disease, and their significance in the disease pathology. Read more
Current regenerative medicine strategies aim to restore the function of damaged or diseased tissues with functional and site-appropriate implants. Read more
Description. Zoonotic pathogens, such as COVID-19, reside in animal hosts before jumping species to infect humans. How diversity in host immune genes across species impact upon pathogen carriage are poorly understood. Read more
Summary. Cytotoxic T cells have the capability of killing tumour target cells. However, this ability is commonly suppressed within the tumour microenvironment. Read more
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
Recruitment of immune cells is a critical component of our ability to fight infection from invasive pathogens. However, this process is also central to inflammatory based diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis as well as in a range of cancer pathologies. Read more
3-year PhD Studentship in Computational Immunology. Physics-guided machine learning of the immune receptor code. The immune system keeps a record of past infections. Read more
When a virus infects a host, the innate immune response is activated to control the infection. Therefore, all pathogenic viruses have evolved ways to counteract that response to ensure their replication and transmission to a new host. Read more
With falling birth rates and increasing life expectancy we are an ageing population. This would be a cause for celebration if it were not for the fact that the period we spend in good health, healthspan, is not keeping pace with increased lifespan. Read more
