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
Exploring bacterial enzymes as new targets for treating infectious disease
The Ferrier Institute has established a world-class reputation in nature-inspired synthetic carbohydrate chemistry and analysis and has extended its expertise into the areas of synthetic and chemical biology, chemical immunology, and natural product isolation. Read more
The innate immune response to respiratory viral infection in diabetes: is glucose control the key?
Department of Infectious Diseases| Faculty of Medicine. . 3-year funded PhD position. The innate immune response to respiratory viral infection in diabetes. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Investigating historical and future patterns in causes of mortality among persons with HIV
Prior to the introduction of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) in 1996, persons with HIV (PWH) had very high rates of mortality, mostly due to AIDS[1]. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: 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
Evolutionary ecology of host-parasite interactions
Proposed Start Date. September 2022. The body is home to trillions of microbes. There has been a surge of interest on the effects of these microbes on host health, often as agents of infectious disease. 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.

Investigating the role of the clinical microbiome and its antimicrobial resistome in infection and disease
Many infections and disease states are closely linked to associated microbiomes, either of the patient themselves or the surrounding clinical environment. Read more

3D printed Microneedle vaccine patches for emerging infectious diseases
Microneedles, it can be used to administer a variety of vaccine types, including protein, peptide, and nanoparticle vaccines. Read more
How does metabolic heterogeneity drive antibiotic tolerance/resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains a leading cause of infectious death globally. Alternative TB treatments are urgently required to counter the global spread of drug resistance that is thwarting the control of tuberculosis. Read more
Fake News and Misinformation during the COVID pandemic (HUNTERP_ U22NIHRFMH)
Background. Misinformation and fake news have had a substantial negative impact on the management and control of the current pandemic of COVID-19 and our own research has demonstrated how misinformation can a disease outbreak worse. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: The impact of early life programming on resistance to helminths in ruminant livestock
The gut microbiome is integral to the development of a normal immune system (Gensollen et al 2016). Disruption to the microbiome during early life – e.g, via antimicrobials, milk replacer, different diets - has long-lasting impacts on immune function in animals. Read more
