Institute of Infection, Immunity & Inflammation
In the Institute of Infection, Immunity & Inflammation, scientists and clinicians work together to promote and develop research, drug discovery, and improvements in patient care. Read more
Discovery of novel drug targets in schistosomes
Schistosomes are parasites that cause human schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease affecting over 260 million people across the globe. Read more
The Oxford Interdisciplinary Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership
The Oxford Interdisciplinary Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) programme is a 4-year DPhil*/PhD programme that aims to equip a new generation of researchers with the skills and knowledge needed to tackle the most important challenges in bioscience research. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast: Environmental DNA from Fasciola parasites as a novel biomarker to improve agriculture in the UK
Fasciola hepatica, usually termed "the temperate liver fluke", is found worldwide and causes disease known as fasciolosis. This infection caused by helminth parasites, primarily impacts on ruminant production, including within the UK and many other European countries. Read more

Rice farming and rodent-borne zoonoses
Land-use changes due to intensified agricultural practices are a concern in the Philippines (Dirzo et al, 2014). The replacement of forests by mixed agroecosystems and high-value crops has led to biodiversity loss and increased contact of humans with wild animal populations. Read more
Using microfluidics and flow cytometry to develop novel diagnostics for Leishmaniasis
The Leishmaniases are a group of neglected tropical diseases caused by >20 species of Leishmania parasites that are spread by >90 species of phlebotomine sand flies. 1 billion people in Africa, Asia, the Americas and the Mediterranean are at risk, with the poor and malnourished being disproportionately affected.

Understanding coordination of DNA replication initiation in the African trypanosome
DNA replication is a central cellular reaction, necessary for genome transmission and the propagation of life. To date, structural and mechanistic studies on DNA replication have focused mainly on a small number of eukaryotes, revealing conserved machinery and reactions. Read more
Investigating the cell biology of Neoparamoeba perurans, a causative agent of Amoebic Gill Disease, and its endosymbiont kinetoplastid, Perkinsela.
Amoebic gill disease (AGD), caused by the opportunistic amoebozoan parasite Neoparamoeba perurans, is a major disease in salmonid aquaculture [1-3] and there is an urgent need to mitigate the impact parasitic infections have on both fish welfare and sustainable growth in the sector. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: The impact of early life programming on resistance to helminths in ruminant livestock
The gut microbiome is integral to the development of a normal immune system (Gensollen et al 2016). Disruption to the microbiome during early life – e.g, via antimicrobials, milk replacer, different diets - has long-lasting impacts on immune function in animals. Read more
Self funded BMS Project: The impact of type 2 immunity on haematopoiesis and consequences for host immune function
Applications accepted for PhD Only. Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) sense peripheral inflammation allowing immune cell production in the bone marrow to be tailored to ongoing demands. Read more
Ultrastructural analysis of the mouse whipworm as a model for human trichuriasis
Gastrointestinal dwelling nematode parasites are extremely successful parasites of both man and animals infecting over a billion people worldwide and are responsible for considerable morbidity and ill health worldwide. Read more
Investigating the chemistry of antioxidants and polysaccharides present in date-fruit (Phoenix dactylifera) as a novel/potential therapies for neoplastic and infectious diseases.
Date-fruit contains vast amount of phenols; approx. 80400µmol/100g, which portray antioxidant abilities. Read more
