Discovery and functional investigation of the shared molecular mechanisms of host immunoregulation by the pathogens that cause malaria and sepsis.

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

Infectious diseases cause enormous humanitarian and economic burdens worldwide. Designing interventions that prevent, cure, or control many infections is difficult because pathogens have evolved sophisticated ways of subverting host immunity. Read more

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) - Multiplexed fluorescent biosensors to profile infectious diseases (Bio-Techne and University of Edinburgh)

Heriot-Watt University School of Engineering & Physical Sciences

Research Group: CDT in Applied Photonics

We will build a novel sensing toolbox alongside suitable analytical tools to image biomarkers of cell function in real time. We will prepare a new platform of multiplexed photonic biosensors that will be able to image pathogens (bacteria, virus) in infection models of increasing complexity. Read more
