Symptom perception of “breathlessness” and impact on healthcare access in culturally diverse populations
Proposed start date. 1 October 2023. Breathlessness is a debilitating symptom caused by multiple clinical conditions, resulting in reduced quality of life, increased hospitalisations and earlier death. Read more
Evolutionary responses of insects to the Anthropocene
This project is part of the. DPhil in Biology at the University of Oxford. Humans have altered global environments in many ways, such as converting natural habitats into farmland and exposing organisms to synthetic chemicals that have been unencountered previously since life began. Read more
Using multiomic approaches to understand how mitochondrial DNA mutations cause severe neurological disease
Mitochondria convert food energy into cellular energy, relying on genetic information from both nuclear DNA and their own mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to function. Read more
How extracellular matrix components and chemokines are co-ordinated to control immune cell recruitment
Recruitment of immune cells is a critical component of our ability to fight infection from invasive pathogens. However, this process is also central to inflammatory based diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis as well as in a range of cancer pathologies. Read more

Role of T and NK-cell immunity during dengue virus infection and impact of immune modulation during therapy
A PhD position is available to study the role of human T and NK-cell immunity during infection with dengue virus (DENV), a flavivirus that is transmitted by infected Aedes mosquitoes. Read more
History PhD (option of joint PhD with Hong Kong University or National University of Singapore)

Local protein synthesis in angiogenesis
This proposal aims to investigate how localised mRNA translation within endothelial cells regulates blood vessel formation. Angiogenesis, or the emergence of new blood vessels, is a complex biological process that involves the coordinated migration of endothelial cells. Read more
Disarming antimicrobial responses: how Klebsiella pneumoniae controls inflammasome activation
Microbial infection triggers assembly of inflammasome complexes that promote caspase-1–dependent antimicrobial responses. This project will dissect how the antibiotic resistant pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae evades inflammasome activation to overcome host restriction during pneumonia. Read more
Design, synthesis and evaluation of novel polysialyltransferase inhibitors as anti- metastatic agents
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Polysialic acid plays an essential role in neuronal development, but by adulthood is absent from the human body. Its biosynthesis is regulated by two polysialyltransferases (polySTs). Read more
Polysialyltransferases as a target in metastatic cancer
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Polysialic acid plays an essential role in neuronal development, but by adulthood is absent from the human body. Its biosynthesis is regulated by two polysialyltransferases. Read more
