We have 29 vaccines PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project: Causal inference tools to study vaccines using real-world data: how can we make better use of negative control outcomes?
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 21 studentships for entry in September 2025. Read more
Vaccine LEGACY – Applying a systems based approach to accelerate vaccine development
New technologies are transforming and accelerating both vaccine development but also the molecular and cellular mechanism regulating the efficacy of human… Read more

Use of Machine Learning and Molecular Dynamics simulation for the prediction of RNA structures in mRNA vaccine design
The rapid development of mRNA-based therapeutics, particularly mRNA vaccines, has transformed the landscape of infectious disease prevention and treatment. Read more
Vaccine development for important spirochaetal diseases of cattle.
*Bovine digital dermatitis (DD) is a severe, infectious, foot skin disease affecting cattle worldwide. This disease causes severe pain resulting in ruminant lameness and impacts animal welfare. Read more
Enhancing Immunological Control of SARS-CoV-2
Summary. Neutralizing antibodies are key to preventing transmission of SARS-CoV-2, however the virus can rapidly mutate to avoid these. Read more
Virus antigenic evolution under immune pressure
About the Project. The persistent evasion of COVID-19 from vaccines and monoclonal antibody therapeutics underscores the critical need to comprehend how endemic and zoonotic viruses evolve to counter antibody-mediated immune responses. Read more
Development of integrated microfluidic chips for making mRNA nanomedicines
Project. Messenger RNA (mRNA) provides a highly flexible platform for the development of vaccines. A robust immune response typically requires both an antibody response and a T-cell response. Read more
Causal inference from observational data: trials, real world evidence and genomics to triangulate the evidence (NDORMS-2025/9)
This project will involve the use of multiple methods and data assets to study the risk-benefit of medicines and/or medical devices. Read more
T cell immune modulation during severe bacterial infection
Summary. There is no licenced vaccine against Staphylococcus aureus which produces life-threatening bloodstream infections ("bacteraemia") and has evolved antibiotic-resistant strains. Read more
Engineering Resolution – mRNA targeting of chronic inflammatory disease
mRNA based technologies have revolutionised vaccines and have the potential to modulate not just immunity to pathogens but also re-engineer immune responses to resolve chronic inflammatory disease. Read more
Resident memory B cell responses in the lung; immunity against pulmonary pathogens
Immunological memory of antibody responses is critical for the ability of the host to cope with secondary infections and is the basis for the development of most current vaccines. Read more
Predicting the Evolution of Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 Viruses
Our research focus is to design and develop analytical, computational, and mathematical methods to understand the fundamental processes that govern the evolution of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 viruses. Read more
