Malaria and the Intestinal Immune Response
Research Group:
Edinburgh Infectious Diseases
Project offered for Ker Memorial PhD Studentship in Infectious Diseases. Half of the world’s population is at risk of malaria, with over 247 million cases in 2021. Read more
Development of paediatric-centred anti-malaria nanotherapeutic formulations using an advanced continuous manufacturing technology
Malaria is a life-threatening infectious disease caused by the plasmodium protozoan parasite passed through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Read more
Population genetic engineering: Innovative approaches to control vector-borne diseases
Fully funded studentship available for entry in October 2023. This 4-year PhD studentship provides inter-disciplinary training at the intersection of population genetics, evolution, and synthetic biology, with a focus on mathematical modelling, statistics, and computational methods. Read more
How regulatory immunological cues (re)programme cellular metabolism to control effector T cell behaviour and function
Upon activation a T cell transitions from a state of semi-quiescence to a state of high activity. During the process of activation the T cell therefore needs to up regulate metabolic pathways to acquire the energy and nutrients required to facilitate the behavioural changes associated with its new functional state.

Four Year PhD Programme in Epidemiology, Evolution and Control of Infectious Diseases
Fully funded studentships available for entry in October 2023. This 4-year PhD training programme provides unique inter-disciplinary training in infectious disease epidemiology, mathematical modelling and statistics, genetics and evolution, and computational methods. Read more
Enzyme-responsive peptide hydrogel as in situ forming long-acting drug delivery implants
One of the key issues in the treatment and prevention of disease is that patients struggle to adhere to the complex dosage regimens of therapies, which often require multiple dosing at very specific times each day. Read more
Environmental control of dendritic cell activation and function during pulmonary type 2 inflammation
Type 2 inflammation is a defining feature of infection with parasitic worms (helminths), as well as being responsible for widespread suffering in allergies. Read more
Engineering Virus-Like Particles (VLPS) for the Next-Generation Vaccines
Virus-like particles (VLPs) are molecules that mimic viruses and will trigger immune response when introduced into body. As they do not contain any viral genetic material, they are not infectious. Read more
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
Molecular mechanism of P. faciparum apicoplast replication and genome organisation
We invite applications for two PhD research projects to study organellar protein-DNA interactions in Plasmodium, the pathogen responsible for causing malaria. Read more
Platelets in health, ageing and disease: new diagnostics and treatments
Platelets are small blood cells that play a vital role in the chronic and acute progression of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), and also have roles in immunity, inflammation, cancer metastasis, Alzheimer's disease and a range of infections, such as dengue, HIV-1, malaria, and COVID-19. Read more
How does Aspergillus fumigatus activate the inflammasome?
Invasive fungal infections are a major cause of mortality, with more people dying from the ten main invasive fungal diseases than from tuberculosis or malaria. Read more
Molecular mechanisms and evolution of apicomplexan parasite/host interaction
Apicomplexan parasites include disease agents responsible for malaria, toxoplasmosis, and other major diseases of humans and livestock. Read more
