Investigating the sex-dependent effects of macrophage insulin resistance on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of liver diseases in part driven by macrophages. Premenopausal females exhibit protection from NAFLD and macrophages express estrogen receptors which have been shown to augment and dampen innate immune signalling pathways. Read more
Investigating changes in neuronal development and connectivity in a mouse model of muscimol-induced perinatal brain injury
Disruption of normal brain development during pregnancy and in infancy can lead to life-long neurological disorders. As the brain develops, there is increasing complexity of cellular structure, connectivity and functional activity. Read more
Investigating the effects of host-pathobiont interactions on inflammation resolution in chronic inflammatory disease
Host-microbiota homeostasis is pertinent for the maintenance of a healthy state. Chronic inflammatory diseases, which are often linked, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or cardiovascular disease, are characterised by disturbances on both sides. Read more
Mining the host-pathogen interface to deliver a drug pipeline for treating intractable and emerging infections
We are currently looking for a PhD candidate to join the One Health Laboratory of Infectious Disease at Griffith University, led by A/Prof Lara Herrero (MD, MPH, PhD). Read more
Elphinstone Scholarship - Novel interventions for treatment of diabetes and heart disease
Obesity is a major risk factor for development of insulin-resistance, diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is the most prevalent cause of mortality among patients with diabetes, due to accelerated atherosclerosis. Read more
Novel Therapies targeting Cardiovascular Disease. Synthetic Lipoxin-A4 mimetics: novel therapeutic approaches to target residual inflammatory risk in Atherosclerosis-Associated Diabetes Complications.
Atherosclerosis is a life-long condition essentially due to an inflammatory reaction that drives accumulation of fats and cell debris into the vessel wall, blocking the blood flow. Read more
Funded PhD Position - Investigating the diet-microbiome connection in coeliac disease
PhD project. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease activated by dietary gluten affecting between 1 and 3% of individuals globally. Read more
PhD Studentship - Investigating the role of CXCR2 signalling in neutrophils in hepatic steatosis
Overview. Liver disease is currently the third biggest cause of premature deaths in the UK and fatty liver disease is predicted to be the leading cause of liver disease in the next decade. . Read more

What is the role of intestinal mucins in health maintenance during ageing?
An increasing proportion of our population falls within the elderly age bracket. As a result, the identification of interventions that help people stay healthy into their old age is one of the most significant challenges facing biomedical research. Read more

Selective modulation of NLRP3 inflammasome by bespoke cell-permeable peptides
NLRP3 inflammasome is a multiprotein complex which forms within cells in response to various microbial and self-derived triggers. Read more

Investigating the effects of inflamm-aging on the safety and efficacy of monoclonal antibody based therapies
Our understanding of the immune response in the elderly is still in its infancy. Now, more than ever we need to understand the basic principles of immune response as the environment alters our immune system and the particles it sees. Read more

Evaluation of the influence of chemical modifications on antigen presentation and T cell immunity
T-cells, the drivers of adaptive immunity, have great therapeutic potential. However, there are still many unknowns about how they are activated. Read more

Development and evaluation of lateral-flow test for rapid detection of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae in poultry clinical samples
Background. Protecting the health of poultry is fundamental in ensuring their welfare, health and production. Often, early diagnosis provides opportunities for early intention to safeguard the health of poultry flocks and avoid production losses. Read more
Neurodegenerative disorders
We are currently looking for a PhD candidate to work on the following projects. Understanding enzymes linked to neurodegeneration and antiviral defence. Read more
Fully-funded International Ph.D. position in Pancreas Biology and diabetes research
The. Landsman Lab. invites highly motivated students to join its effort to decipher how pancreatic beta-cell function is regulated and why it is lost in diabetes. Read more
