Deciphering the impact of co-infection with bovine immunodeficiency virus on the immune response to bovine tuberculosis
Research Group:
Edinburgh Infectious Diseases
Project offered for Ker Memorial PhD Studentship in Infectious Diseases. Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), caused by infection with Mycobacterium bovis, is a significant endemic disease affecting large numbers of UK cattle herds with devastating economic impacts. Read more
The role of efflux pumps in antibiotic resistance
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in antibiotic resistance to join the research team led by Dr Jessica Blair. Read more
Characterising mechanisms of mononuclear phagocyte recruitment to the lung and their localisation specific function in respiratory viral infection.
Research Group:
Edinburgh Infectious Diseases
Project offered for Ker Memorial PhD Studentship in Infectious Diseases. Despite upcoming modern vaccine technologies, respiratory viral infections will remain a key healthcare burden for many years, requiring the development of prophylactic interventions for high-risk individuals and therapies.
