Are macrophages the heroes or villains of infection control?
The field of host pathogen interactions has never been more important. From the recent Covid19 pandemic to the causes of cancer and neurodegenerative disease host pathogen interactions underpin the pathology of many important diseases. Read more
Investigating the experience of infection control education of student nurses in the UK
The two greatest challenges facing global healthcare are the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the insidious rise of anti-microbial resistant infections (AMR). Read more
Aligning Legal and Biological Temporalities in the (Anticipatory) Governance of Infectious Disease in the UK
Research Group:
Edinburgh Infectious Diseases
Project offered for Ker Memotial PhD Studentship in Infectious Diseases. **Candidates interested in applying for this PhD project must email Professor Pickersgill BEFORE 30 June to discuss interests/suitability.**. Read more
Investigating the role of lactate in tuberculosis disease
About the project. We are seeking talented, hard-working and motivated students with a passion for research in Immunology, Metabolism and Infectious diseases to join the team led by Dr Alba Llibre (. Read more
Additive manufacturing of biodegradable drug delivery implants
Healthcare-acquired infections (HCAI) can develop as a result of healthcare interventions such as medical or surgical treatment, or from the interactions with healthcare staff and facilities. Read more
Control of mucosal immunity and intestinal integrity by human gamma/delta T cells
Project Summary. γδ T cells are 'unconventional' lymphocytes that promote mucosal barrier defence and regulate immune responses to microbial infection. Read more
Environmental control of dendritic cell activation and function during pulmonary type 2 inflammation
Type 2 inflammation is a defining feature of infection with parasitic worms (helminths), as well as being responsible for widespread suffering in allergies. Read more
How does the human fungal pathogen, Candida albicans, exploit its metabolic flexibility to enhance its virulence?
Research Group:
Edinburgh Infectious Diseases
Project offered for Ker Memorial PhD Studnetship in Infectious Diseases. Fungal pathogens kill over a million people every year. The most common human fungal pathogen is Candida albicans, a WHO-priority target. 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
How extracellular matrix components and chemokines are co-ordinated to control immune cell recruitment
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
Detecting human and veterinary parasitic diseases in snail and slug intermediate hosts
Gastropod-borne parasitic diseases affect over 300 million people worldwide and make up several of the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) listed by the World Health Organisation. Read more
Investigating the control and function of macrophage subtypes using Drosophila melanogaster
Supervisor(s). Iwan Evans (Primary Supervisor, IICD) and Martin Zeidler (Second Supervisor, Biosciences). Project details. The phagocytic white blood cells known as macrophages are a highly heterogeneous population of cells. Read more
Control of nutrient metal availability during host-microbe interactions
BACKGROUND. Earth is home to a trillion of species of microbes. Some of these microbes associate with larger, more complex living organisms (hosts). Read more
Adaptive Security Threat Detection for Small Footprint Computing Devices within Industrial Control Systems, Intelligent Homes, Medical Devices & Smart Infrastructure
Research Group:
Computing, Informatics and Applications Research Group
Research Group. Cyber Security and Networking Research Group. Proposed supervisory team. Adrian Winckles. (adrian.winckles@anglia.ac.uk). Read more
Can exercise improve immune function in people living with spinal cord injury?
Background. Spinal cord injury (SCI) can lead to a heightened risk of infection (e.g., pneumonia, urinary tract and wound infections). Read more
