Assessing the potential for aerosol transmission of zoonoses within critical environments
Zoonoses with the potential to cause pandemics face two fundamental obstacles. The first is transfer between species boundaries, from reservoirs to immunologically naïve new hosts, and the second is efficient transmission between members of the new host population. Read more
Deciphering molecular mechanisms that underlie the cross-colonisation of anatomical niches by Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoea
The project will be supervised by Drs Gail Whiting, Caroline Vipond and Sunil Maharjan at MHRA and Professor Christoph Tang at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, The University of Oxford. Read more

Improved Detection of Bovine Tuberculosis Infected Cattle using Artificial Intelligence
Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) is caused by M. bovis which can also infect humans and many other mammals. Thus, M. bovis is a One Health threat as a zoonotic infection and, by its effect on cattle productivity, a threat to food security. Read more
