PhD in Neuroscience & Mental Health - Deciphering how NLRP3 inflammasome- and STING-driven inflammatory pathways are linked to mental health disorders
Summary. There is an interaction between activation of the innate immune system, pro-inflammatory cytokines and changes in the brain relating to mood and behaviour. Read more
PhD in Population Health Sciences - Population Health Sciences
Summary. Early-onset depression (by the early 20s) it is associated with especially poor outcomes, a chronic and relapsing course, and is difficult to treat. Read more
PhD in Neuroscience & Mental Health - What goes up must come down? Using digital technology to understand the dynamic nature of mood in bipolar disorder
Summary. People with bipolar disorder (BD) experience disabling episodes of high and low mood, but how mood fluctuates between them could help us better understand subtypes of BD and improve treatments. Read more
PhD in Neuroscience & Mental Health - How does the schizophrenia candidate gene Sp4 influences transcription during neurodevelopment?
Summary. Both common and rare variants in the gene encoding the neuronal transcription factor Sp4 have been linked to schizophrenia. Read more
PhD in Neuroscience & Mental Health - Untangling neurodegeneration and ageing components of neuroinflammatory disorders
Summary. Numerous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) show a strong, but poorly understood neuroinflammatory component to most neurological diseases. Read more
PhD in Neuroscience & Mental Health - Using a new translational in vivo model to understand the neurobiology underlying ADHD subtypes
Summary. In mice and humans loss-of-function of the steroid sulfatase (STS) enzyme results in inattention but enhanced motor response inhibition; we aim to understand the neurobiology underlying this dissociation using a new mouse model. Read more
PhD in Infection, Immunity, Antimicrobial Resistance & Repair - 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
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
PhD in Infection, Immunity, Antimicrobial Resistance & Repair - Clonal aging of anti-viral T cells impacts protective immunity
SUMMARY. The induction and persistence of effective antigen(Ag)-specific memory T-cell responses is required to bestow long-term protection against infectious diseases, and hence is critical to vaccine development. 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 - Investigating long noncoding RNAs as novel therapies in chronic kidney disease
SUMMARY. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 15% of the global population and is associated with significant multimorbidity and high mortality, but has no cure. 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
Is childhood irritability (emotional dysregulation) a core feature of ADHD?
Summary. Severe childhood irritability is a common symptom across many mental health disorders and a common reason for mental health service referral. Read more
