Controlling airborne infectious disease transmission in indoor environment
Infectious disease pandemics are brutal killers in human history. The recent COVID-19 outbreak in China has killed over 2.4K people globally, and more than 78K people are infected across 28 countries (As of 22th Feb 2020). Read more
Mathematical modelling of transmission and worldwide distribution of neglected zoonotic diseases (Q fever)
A 3-year fully funded position is available to contribute substantially to the development of a new modelling approach for the prediction and control of zoonotic diseases (Q fever). Read more
Informing transboundary disease spread with animal movement technology
This fully funded 3.5 year PhD training programme provides unique inter-disciplinary training in transboundary disease epidemiology, mathematical modelling and statistics, animal movement, and health economics. Read more
Pandemic Potential of Avian Influenza in the UK: Modelling Cross-Species Transmission and Spillover to Humans
The 2022 Avian Influenza outbreak in the UK is largest on record and the first time farm-to-farm transmission and animal-to-human transmission has been identified[1]. Read more
Helminth products as macrophage “trainers”: a novel therapeutic tool for the treatment of immune mediated diseases
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.

Circadian mechanisms in psoriasis: therapeutic opportunities
Hallmark features of psoriasis symptoms vary through time, suggesting an important role for circadian circuits in driving disease expression, and offering the potential of chronotherapy. Read more
Investigating the role of sheep and goat in interspecies transmission of pestiviruses in cattle and pig populations in the UK
This is an exciting fully funded PhD studentship opportunity exploring virus host interaction and the role of sheep and goat in the transmission of pestiviruses to and impact on other important livestock species in the UK. Read more
Bayesian Computation for Epidemic Models
Mathematical models of infectious disease transmission continue to play a vital role in understanding, mitigating, and preventing outbreaks. Read more
Genomics of bacterial pathobionts and commensals of the human respiratory tract
. Bacterial colonisation of the human upper respiratory tract (URT) is a pre-requisite for multiple diseases including pneumonia, otitis media, sinusitis, exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and, less commonly, diseases resulting from bacteraemia such as meningitis. Read more
Investigating the role of the microbiome in infection and health outcomes following renal transplantation
Many infections and disease states are closely linked to associated microbiomes, either of the patient themselves or the surrounding clinical environment. Read more
