Factors determining diagnosis, antibiotic treatment and outcomes of stroke-associated pneumonia
Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability and has huge personal, societal and economic impact worldwide. Pneumonia frequently complicates stroke and has a profound impact on clinical outcomes. Read more
Novel multi-excitation Raman (ME-Raman) technologies for clinical identification of respiratory biofilms in ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP)
Supervisory Team: Professor Sumeet Mahajan, Professor Jeremy Webb, Dr Callum Highmore, Professor Saul Faust, Professor Robert Read . Read more
Characterising biofilms in endotracheal tubes to direct a new strategy for preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia in critically ill adults
Endotracheal tubes (ETTs) are employed for invasive mechanical ventilation of critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure. Read more
Genomics of bacterial pathobionts and commensals of the human respiratory tract
. Bacterial colonisation of the human upper respiratory tract (URT) is a pre-requisite for multiple diseases including pneumonia, otitis media, sinusitis, exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and, less commonly, diseases resulting from bacteraemia such as meningitis.

Targeting the interaction between the viral N protein and the host MASP-2 protease to discover novel broad-spectrum therapeutics for coronavirus infections
Highly pathogenic human coronaviruses SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 interact with the host MASP-2 serine protease, a key factor in the complement system, through a conserved amino acid sequence in their nucleocapsid (N) proteins. Read more
How does air pollution increase the risk of bacterial respiratory infection?
Air pollution is a major risk to human health, exacerbating systemic cardiovascular and respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Read more
Generation of human cytomegalovirus-pseudotyped particles and development of systems for the study of viral cell entry mechanisms, neutralizing antibody responses to infection and vaccination, and testing of potential novel therapeutics
Overview. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) establishes lifelong infections of the host with >60% infected across the globe. In healthy children and adults HCMV produces mild symptoms like influenza or mononucleosis. Read more

Investigating innate immune dysfunction across inflammatory and fibrotic pulmonary disease
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in acute or chronic pulmonary diseases (e.g. Pneumonia, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Interstitial Lung Diseases) to join Dr Rahul Mahida’s team in the Institute of Inflammation and Ageing at the University of Birmingham (.
