Virus pathogenesis: interplay between the unfolded protein response and innate immunity.
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a cellular homeostatic response in restoring endoplasmic reticulum balance upon stress conditions e.g. Read more
Modelling scar formation in endometriosis
This opportunity will remain open until the position has been filled and so early applications are encouraged. Endometriosis affects 10-15% of women during their reproductive years and is often associated with debilitating pelvic pain and impaired fertility. Read more
Immune phenotyping of refractory rheumatoid arthritis disease
Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been transformed with the introduction of targeted therapies twenty years ago (comprising biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, bDMARDS; and the more recent small molecule JAK inhibitors). Read more
Environmental control of dendritic cell activation and function during pulmonary type 2 inflammation
Type 2 inflammation is a defining feature of infection with parasitic worms (helminths), as well as being responsible for widespread suffering in allergies. Read more
EASTBIO: Analysis of factors underlying host-specificity and virulence of Salmonella serovars
Supervisors. Dr Massimiliano Baldassarre. - Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Aberdeen. Massimiliano.baldassarre@abdn.ac.uk. Read more
Understanding the molecular basis of drug resistance in myeloid cancers
Under pathogenic challenges, cells of the innate system become epigenetically reprogrammed and establish immune memory. Read more
Self-funded BMS project: Cytokine-dependent immune cell modulation through trained immunity
Your innate immune system is the first line of defence against infections, cancer and various physiological danger signals. Innate immune dysregulation is a central driver of various pathologies ranging from neurological diseases to immunological and metabolic disorders and cancers. Read more
The translational effects of circadian disruption in patients
The cellular clock oscillates over a 24 hour period enabling temporal control of the transcriptome, proteome and biological pathways. Read more
EASTBIO: Physiological and molecular interplay between stress and immune responses in Atlantic salmon
Supervisors: . Dr Jason W Holland. - School of Biological Sciences, University of Aberdeen - j.holland@abdn.ac.uk. Dr Sean Monaghan. Read more
Determining the biocompatibility of, novel, nano-silica coated surfaces on oral and gastrointestinal immune barriers
The interaction of nanoparticles with cells, particularly those that are immune competent, may affect their biocompatibility particularly when applied in long-term situations. Read more
Metabolic reprogramming in cancer: starving tumors of essential nutrients to promote cell death
All the cells in our bodies are programmed to die. As they get older, our cells accumulate toxic molecules that make them sick. In response, they eventually break down and die, clearing the way for new, healthy cells to grow. Read more
Characterization of the molecular mechanisms of breast cancer metastasis to bone: from basic research to biomarkers
About the Project. Breast cancer is responsible for over 300,000 cancer diagnoses within the UK per annum, and it is estimated that one in 7 women will develop breast cancer. Read more
