  Understanding signalling networks during malaria parasite infection and transmission
University of Edinburgh School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Immunology & Infection Research
  Dr N Philip
Application Deadline: 1 March 2019
Malaria threatens around 400 million people globally and results in over 0.5 million deaths annually, thereby continuing to be a major public health problem.

  Earth observation to understand and manage nutrition-parasite interactions under global climate change
Newcastle University Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering
  Prof I Kyriazakis
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
This project is part of the ONE Planet DTP. Find out more here. https://research.ncl.ac.uk/one-planet/. Global climate change is altering plant phenology, and hence spatio-temporal patterns of primary production in grazing systems.

  Unravelling molecular mechanism of atypical cell division in malaria parasite towards identifying novel intervention strategies
University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences
  Dr R Tewari
Applications accepted all year round
Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, is the most fatal of vector borne protozoan parasites transmitted by infected female mosquitoes.

  Study of novel vaccine candidates related to the endogenous development in Eimeria
University of London The Royal Veterinary College
  Dr v Marugan-Hernandez, Dr D Blake, Prof F Tomley
Application Deadline: 10 February 2019
Coccidia are obligate intracellular parasites that undergo their endogenous development within a specialised structure called the parasitophorous vacuole (PV) that is formed during the process of zoite invasion.

  In silico modelling of parasite dynamics
Cardiff University Cardiff School of Mathematics
  Prof O Jones
Applications accepted all year round
The management of infectious disease is a major concern for conservation of wild fish stocks and is a primary constraint on the viability and sustainability of farmed fish.

  Evolution and biochemistry of photosynthesis - electron transfer reactions, renewable energy production, biotechnology, and chloroplast genomes
University of Cambridge Department of Biochemistry
  Prof C J Howe
Applications accepted all year round
The common theme of our work is the biochemistry and evolution of photosynthesis.

  (BBSRC DTP) Chitinase-like proteins (CLP) as first responders to infection and injury: understanding CLP-glycosaminoglycan interactions
University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
  Prof T Day, Prof J Allen
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
Parasitic worms (helminths) infect most mammals including a third of the human population. Although rarely causing death, these parasites cause significant morbidity in part by the damage they inflict while migrating through the tissues.
