MSc by Research: The role of cathepsin-C at inflammatory sites in COVID-19
Cathepsin-C (also known as dipeptidyl peptidase-1) is an enzyme involved in the activation of neutrophil serine proteases such as neutrophil elastase, proteinase-3 and cathepsin-G. Read more
MSc by Research: Arginase-1 as a novel therapeutic target in lung infections
Neutrophils are the key first responders in acute and chronic respiratory infections but currently there are no drugs which directly target neutrophils. Read more
MSc by Research: Th2 responses to P. aeruginosa in chronic infection
P. aeruginosa infection classically leads to a proinflammatory Th1 and neutrophil mediated inflammatory response. Some data suggest, however, that P. Read more
MSc by Research: Profiling the neutrophil transcriptional and protein response to inflammation
Neutrophils are the key first responders in acute and chronic respiratory infections but currently there are no drugs which directly target neutrophilic inflammation. Read more
MSc by Research: Iron sequestration as a novel therapeutic strategy in chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection
New antibiotics are needed to treat antibiotic resistant pathogens such as P. aeruginosa which is a major driver of morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis. Read more
MSc by Research: Suppression of anti-viral interferon response in acute viral infections
The outcome of viral infection in humans varies from asymptomatic infection to fatal acute respiratory distress syndrome. This variation is explained by differences in the host response to infection. Read more
MSc by Research: Degradation of neutrophil extracellular traps by macrophages in acute and chronic lung infection
Neutrophil extracellular traps are implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of lung diseases including acute COVID-19. Resolution of inflammation involves degradation and removal of NETs by macrophages. Read more
Elucidating the pathobiology of Candida albicans
The Hall lab is interested in understanding the biology and virulence factors of fungal pathogens. Our research largely focuses on the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans, which causes a range of infections from superficial mucosal infections (i.e. Read more

Development of dental caries detection point of care tools
About the project. Dental caries is the most common chronic disease in children and represents a significant disease burden for both children and adults. Read more
Investigating the role of food as a vehicle for microbial transmission and antimicrobial resistance genes.
Research Group:
Safeguarding Health through Infection Prevention
Reference. SHLS20067. The emergence of infectious diseases impacts a significant socio-economic burden on global economies and public health. Read more
The relationship between dietary micronutrients (e.g. iron, zinc and vitamins), and the gut microbiota: Can dietary micronutrient regime be exploited to support gut health?
The gut microbiota has a significant influence on host health, including nutrition, development of the immune system, infection… Read more
Investigating the role of the biofilm in waste water treatment plants as a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance
Ref. SHLS20023 Spencer. Background. By 2050, 10 million premature deaths could occur annually as the result of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). An important route of AMR into the environment is via the sewerage network where key control points are the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Read more
