Investigating tick-borne flavivirus persistent infection in tick cells
Pathogens transmitted by ticks are responsible for the majority of the vector-borne diseases in temperate North America, Europe and Asia. Concerning… Read more
Investigating the role of sheep and goat in interspecies transmission of pestiviruses in cattle and pig populations in the UK
This is an exciting fully funded PhD studentship opportunity exploring virus host interaction and the role of sheep and goat in the transmission of pestiviruses to and impact on other important livestock species in the UK. Read more
Employing molecular virology to investigate hepatitis E virus replication
This project is available to self funded candidates only. The Herod lab has a broad interest in virus replication, with a particular interest in studying single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses important for human and animal health. Read more
Virology: Unique Antiviral Therapy targeting Zika and Related Viruses
Zika Virus (ZIKV) has emerged as a new mosquito-borne threat to public health after the devastating South American outbreak. Read more
Virology: Sun exposure as a novel risk factor for Zika virus infection
Mosquito-borne disease is now receiving unprecedented attention due to major outbreaks in new geographic areas including Brazil, Mexico, India, China, the Middle East and SE Asia. Read more
PhD in Infection, Immunity, Antimicrobial Resistance & Repair - Infection, Immunity, Antimicrobial Resistance & Repair
Summary. Adenoviruses (Ad) are important for both vaccine and oncology applications, exemplified by their widespread use during the COVID pandemic. Read more
Understanding the risk and preparing for arboviruses Tembusu and Wesselsbron incursions in the UK
This is a joint funded PhD studentship between the Virology department at Animal and Plant Health Agency (Weybridge, Surrey) and the Vet School at Surrey University (Guildford, Surrey). Read more
IAFRI PhD Studentship: Using multiplex-amplicon sequencing for broad spectrum targeted detection of plant viruses and vectors
Overview. Interested in understanding how rapid sequencing technology can help the UK protect against alien pests and diseases? Working in collaboration with Defra, this PhD will investigate the potential of nanopore sequencing to rapidly detect plant pathogens and their vectors. . Read more
BBSRC PhD Studentship in Quantitative Characterisation of Viral Heterogeneity
Department of Biochemical Engineering, University College London in collaboration with Oxford Biomedica. Application Deadline. Friday 1st December 2023 (12:00 midday GMT). Read more
PhD in Infection, Immunity, Antimicrobial Resistance & Repair - Understanding the interactions of Dengue virus with the immune system and its impact on disease
SUMMARY. Natural killer (NK) cells are critical for killing virus-infected cells but can also cause immunopathology. This project investigates whether Dengue virus manipulates NK ligands to prevent NK cell killing and whether NK cells contribute to dengue pathogenesis. Read more
PhD in Infection, Immunity, Antimicrobial Resistance & Repair - Developing virus-based cancer vaccines with molecular enhancers
Summary. Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionised the field of oncology. This project uses molecular enhancement of an established vaccine platform to develop cancer vaccines with increased potency. Read more
Investigation of host-virus interactions
The School of Molecular and Cellular Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2023/24 in the area of molecular virology. Read more
Molecular mechanisms of influenza virus replication
Our laboratory focuses on elucidating the fundamental molecular mechanisms underlying the replication of RNA viruses such as Influenza, Nipah, and SARS-CoV-2. Read more
Viral manipulation of host cell biology for biogenesis and immune evasion.
This project will investigate mechanisms of assembly, secretion and immune subversion adopted by (+)RNA viruses, with a particular emphasis on Dengue/Zika from the flavivirus and SARS-CoV-2 from the coronavirus families. Read more
