Parasite responses to host immunity
Invading parasites have to cope with a wide range of host environments, as the host immune system typically shows very great functional variation between individuals, and moreover, immune responses may also develop over time. Read more
Cracking the code of snails to elucidate parasite disease transmission
Call for PhD students in Snail Taxonomy, Genomics, and Host:Parasite Interact ions. Want to help resolve the taxonomy of Australian freshwater snails and assess their ability to transmit parasites to Australian livestock?. Read more
Structural Biology of Host-Parasite Interactions
PhD Position in Structural Parasitology. A position for a talented and self-motivated PhD student is open in the structural biology group at IOCB Prague lead by Dr. 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
Understanding host-pathogen interaction during T. gondii infection using stem cell derived tissue organoids to inform drug therapy development (VC23010)
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to study host-pathogen interactions during Toxoplasma gondii infection to inform drug discovery and drug delivery. Read more
Detecting human and veterinary parasitic diseases in snail and slug intermediate hosts
Gastropod-borne parasitic diseases affect over 300 million people worldwide and make up several of the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) listed by the World Health Organisation. Read more
Structure and function of the mitochondrial DNA network in trypanosomatid parasites
Research Group:
Edinburgh Infectious Diseases
Project offered for Ker Memorial PhD Studentship in Infectious Diseases at the University of Edinburgh. Trypanosomatid parasites cause devastating diseases in humans and their livestock, and these diseases predominantly affect low- and middle-income countries. Read more
QUADRAT DTP: Is nibbled, riddled and rotten good for health? Biodiverse stimulation of antiparasitic chemical production by plants and fungi
About the Project. Control of parasitic infections in grazing livestock is under severe strain from drug resistance and climate change, and new approaches are urgently needed. Read more
MSc by Research: Investigating novel Cryptosporidium oocyst wall proteins
Cryptosporidium is a waterborne pathogen, which causes a deadly diarrheal disease, that is transmitted as an oocyst in the environment. 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

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
Defining the mechanisms of vaccine mediated resistance against whipworm parasites
Vaccination is one of the greatest advances in global health; however most successful vaccines have been made empirically. We still have little insight into how many vaccines work and the mechanisms by which they trigger protective immune responses. 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.
