(MRC NW-DMS) Bacterial anti-phage defence systems as determinants of phage therapy and host immunity during respiratory infection

The University of Manchester
Division of Immunology, Immunity to Infection and Respiratory Medicine
  Research Group: Division of Immunology, Immunity to Infection and Respiratory Medicine
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and are being investigated as a promising alternative to antibiotics. However, bacteria carry specialised anti-phage defence systems that can block phage infection, and we still know little about how these defences influence phage therapy inside a living host.

(MRC NW-DMS) Mapping how memory T cell responses develop and are maintained in tissue environments following infection

The University of Manchester
Division of Immunology, Immunity to Infection and Respiratory Medicine
  Research Group: Division of Immunology, Immunity to Infection and Respiratory Medicine
Whilst much of immunological research involves disaggregating tissues into single-cell suspensions so that high parameter cell phenotyping can be performed accurately, this approach completely removes tissue context and information on where a cell is, what it interacts with, and how it is shaped by and shapes its local environment is lost.
