MSc by Research: Identification of a serum-transferrable factor in helminth infections that prevents respiratory viral infection
In the developing world, parasitic helminths infect a large proportion of the population – up to 1 billion people are infected with soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections worldwide. Read more
Risk of Serious Infection associated with Interleukin 17 and 23 Inhibitors Compared with Other Biologics in People with Psoriasis
Biologic therapies are immune-modulators that are highly effective for the treatment of severe psoriasis. The licensed classes of biologics include two older classes - tumour necrosis factor(TNF) and interleukin(IL)-12/23 inhibitors; and two newer classes - IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors. Read more

Using microfluidics and flow cytometry to develop novel diagnostics for Leishmaniasis
The Leishmaniases are a group of neglected tropical diseases caused by >20 species of Leishmania parasites that are spread by >90 species of phlebotomine sand flies. 1 billion people in Africa, Asia, the Americas and the Mediterranean are at risk, with the poor and malnourished being disproportionately affected.

Face off – Dissecting the role of phase separation in viral replication and antiviral responses
Background. The assembly of membraneless organelles is emerging as a fundamental paradigm for many cellular functions. Among these, stress granules (SGs) play a central role in health and disease by concentrating proteins and RNAs, driving adaption to stressful conditions, including viral infection. Read more
Using ex-vivo genetic systems as models to detect genetic susceptibility to co-morbidities in Covid 19 infection, and to test specific anti-inflammatory / antiviral drugs in Covid 19 infection
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Research has shown that certain individuals are more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2. Approximately, 20–51% of COVID-19 patients presented with a least one co-morbidity on admission, with diabetes (10–20%) hypertension (10–15%) and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (7–40%) being most prevalent.

Characterisation of porcine T follicular helper cells and their response to vaccination and infection
Since they were first discovered in 2000, the function of T follicular helper (Tfh) cells has been a subject of intense and fast-moving research. It is now clear that these cells are critical in orchestrating the B cell/antibody response and they have become a focus in improving targeted cancer immunotherapy and vaccine strategies. Read more
