MSc by Research: Suppression of anti-viral interferon response in acute viral infections
The outcome of viral infection in humans varies from asymptomatic infection to fatal acute respiratory distress syndrome. This variation is explained by differences in the host response to infection. Read more
Treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infections through microneedle delivery of antimicrobial peptides
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical threat to human health and novel antibiotics and treatments are desperately needed to prevent a future pandemic. Read more
Bacteriophage-based approaches for controlling infections associated with haemodialysis catheters
Healthcare-associated infections cause life-threatening harm to patients, incur major additional treatment costs and is high NHS priority. Read more
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
MSc by Research: Arginase-1 as a novel therapeutic target in lung infections
Neutrophils are the key first responders in acute and chronic respiratory infections but currently there are no drugs which directly target neutrophils. Read more
Accelerated prediction of virulence and antibiotic susceptibility for bacteria causing bloodstream infections using MALDI clinical diagnostics
In time-critical infections such as severe sepsis, there is a 6% chance of mortality within each successive hour without working antibiotics. Read more
Advanced Biomaterial for Preventing Catheter-Associated Infections
Urinary catheters are used as soon as a patient cannot control urine drain as a consequence of incontinence or urine retention. Read more
Bio-inspired self-cleaning coatings for urinary catheters to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections and encrustation
This project will focus on developing novel self-cleaning coatings for urinary catheters using a combination of bio-inspired technologies to combat infections and associated complications. Read more
Microneedle delivery of non-ribosomal antimicrobial peptides to treat multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infections
The increasing prevalence of infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria is a major global concern, with global deaths due to antimicrobrial resistance expected to hit ten million per year by 2050. Read more
Antibiotic use and lower respiratory tract infections burden in children during Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The project will assess antibiotic use and lower respiratory tract infections in children before and during COVID-19 pandemic. Machine learning algorithms will be developed to predict infection disease patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic using a national database. Read more
Towards new antibacterial drugs to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria: identification and characterization of novel natural product antibiotics
Antibiotics make possible the treatment and cure of life-threatening bacterial infections. Since their introduction in the middle years of the 20th Century, they have added ~10 years to the human lifespan, and have become a cornerstone of modern medicine. Read more
Masters of research training programme in Respiratory Medicine and Infectious Disease
The COVID-19 pandemic illustrates the critical importance of infectious diseases and respiratory medicine to global public health. Read more
PhD Studentship in Infection and Immunity - T cell immune modulation during severe bacterial infection
Project Title. T cell immune modulation during severe bacterial infection. Summary. There is no licensed vaccine against Staphylococcus aureus which produces life-threatening bloodstream infections ("bacteraemia") and has evolved antibiotic-resistant strains. Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project: How are antifungal usage and environment change on our farms driving cross-resistance in clinical pathogens?
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 20 studentships for entry in October 2023. Read more
Physical approaches for preventing catheter-associated bacteraemia
Healthcare-associated infections cause life-threatening harm to patients, incur major additional treatment costs and is high NHS priority. Read more
