Development of lung in vitro model to assess antimicrobial activity
When developing new inhaled antibiotics to treat lung infections, they will need to be tested before being given to humans. Current methods to test inhaled antibiotics are based on animals which are both inhumane and lack efficacy. Read more
Realistic simulation of aerosolised drug deposition in the lungs of people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) based on pulmonary magnetic resonance imaging
We are looking for an exceptional student to join this exciting and innovative multi-centre interdisciplinary project funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. 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 (https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/inflammation-ageing/llibre-alba.aspx). Read more
Investigating the cardio-pulmonary impact of airborne nanoplastics
There is growing evidence that humans are exposed to incidental microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPL) particles through inhalation and that the small size of these particles may allow for bioaccumulation and retention in the body. Read more
Nanoparticle delivery of antibiotics for treatment of pulmonary infection
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major global risk to human health by causing death, disability, longer hospitalisations, and increased healthcare costs. Read more
The role of extracellular vesicles in pulmonary epithelium
More than 1bn people suffer from acute and chronic lung problems resulting in millions of deaths every year. The respiratory disorders with the most significant impact on public health are asthma, COPD, lung cancer and lung infections1. Read more
The role of extracellular vesicles in lung epithelial cell communication in health and disease
It is estimated that more than 1 bn people suffer from acute and chronic lung problems resulting in millions of deaths every year. Read more
Optimising efficiency of platform trial design for critically ill patients; leveraging multi country datasets.

Genetic predisposition to accelerated ageing: targeting telomeres using sex hormone supplementation in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2024/25 Entry, PhD in Genetics and Genomics
About the GW4 BioMed2 Doctoral Training Partnership. The partnership brings together the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff (lead) and Exeter to develop the next generation of biomedical researchers. Read more
Data-informed modelling of aerosol resuspension under aerodynamic loads
Applications are invited for a 4 year PhD studentship starting in September 2023 as part of the EPSRC CDT in Aerosol Science. PhD project context. Read more
Investigation into the in-vitro lung deposition of liposomal formulations of the dual fixed-dose combination inhaler
Research Group:
Medicines Development and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are diseases associated with the airflow in the lungs (WHO, 2013). Inhalation is the most effective route of administration for treating asthma and COPD (Labiris and Dolovich, 2003). Read more
Development of Nanomaterials for Targeting the Bacteria–Host Interface in Cystic Fibrosis Airways
The attachment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) to the airway mucus in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) represents an important step in airway colonization and the subsequent development of lung infection. Read more
EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Aerosol Science
Fully-funded 4-year PhD studentships are available as part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral training in Aerosol Science. Read more
MSc by Research: Probing the interplay between IL-33 and GPCR signalling
The immune system plays important roles in both the response to infection and in tissue repair and homeostasis. It is a complex system made up of multiple specialised cell types, each of which must communicate with each other to coordinate an effective response. Read more
Clinical: Gastroesophageal reflux in respiratory disease: pathogenic role and improved management
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which stomach contents, such as food and acid pass into the gullet/oesophagus causing heartburn. GERD is very common in patients with lung disease, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF). Read more
