Antiviral defence during early development
The major innate immune response against viruses, the type I interferon response, is inactive during the very early days of embryonic development. Read more
Identify novel approaches to combat multi-drug resistant pathogens
Our research focuses on recalcitrant ESKAPE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species) pathogens. Read more
Molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-atherogenic actions of natural products
Atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of myocardial infarction, stroke and peripheral vascular disease, is responsible for most deaths in the western world with mortality increasing at a marked rate in developing. Read more
Multi-omic characterisation of transcription initiation regulation in development and injury response
Early Stage Researcher. We are seeking an applicant for a fully funded HORIZON-MSCA-2023-DN PhD studentship/position in the Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences at the University of Birmingham, in the group of Prof Ferenc Mueller. Read more
Microbial effectors that manipulate the phosphate starvation response of host plants - analysing how they promote disease and are sensed by the plant immune system.
Bacterial plant pathogens inject effector proteins into host cells, that manipulate host cellular processes to promote disease. Read more
(Bicentenary) Modelling Melanoma-Induced Immune Suppression in the Liver Microenvironment Using Mechanistic and Causal Reasoning
Melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer associated with an incidence of ≈17500 patients and 2300 deaths per year in the United Kingdom. Read more
(Bicentenary) Characterizing the Immune Microenvironment and Matrisome of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic PhD candidate to investigate the immune microenvironment and matrisome of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), a rare cancer with limited treatment options in the metastatic setting. Read more
EASTBIO: Development of an in vitro culture system generating chicken dendritic cells
Dendritic cells (DCs) are key antigen-presenting cells that serve as pivotal regulators in both adaptive and cell-mediated immunity. Read more
Image-based profiling of circulating tumor cells for rapid on-chip drug assays
Image based profiling is prevalent using clinical imaging modalities such as MRI, CT and PET. Sophisticated AI techniques to aid in diagnostics have arisen owing to the rich high-dimensional data present within images that is difficult or not possible to detect with human perception. Read more
Exploration of markers of fibrotic and inflammatory signalling, and associated clinical phenotypes, in patients with Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs)
We invite applicants for a 4-year iCASE studentship to work in collaboration with our industrial partner Abcam Ltd. Second Supervisor. Read more
(Bicentenary) ILC interactions with the extracellular matrix in inflamed barrier tissues
Environmental factors such as infection, the microbiota, diet, allergens and pollution act in concert with host genetics to drive the onset and progression of chronic inflammatory diseases of barrier tissues, including Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and allergic asthma. Read more
Modelling the dynamics of T-cell evolution in cancer
The adaptive immune system, especially T cells, plays a central role in cancer evolution. Reawakening the immune system with immunotherapy can be remarkably effective at treating cancer. Read more
(Bicentenary) Epigenetic mechanisms linking maternal inflammation-induced transcriptional changes to adult behavioural impairment in a neurodevelopmental rat model
A fundamental unknown in understanding mechanisms of disease, and therefore improving therapy, is how stressors experienced during critical developmental periods influence the genesis or ‘programming’ of adult disease (Estes & McAllister 2016). Read more
Understanding the mechanism of action of genomic loci associated with severe asthma for clinical translation
Second Supervisor. Prof. Ian Sayers, Centre for Respiratory Research, NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre, School of Medicine, Biodiscovery Institute, University of Nottingham. Read more
Decoding the Fibroblast-Osteocyte Relationship in Bone Remodelling Under Inflammatory Stress in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Application deadline - midday (GMT) Friday 10 January 2025. Additional supervisor. Christoph Rau, Diamond Light Source, Harwell Campus, Oxford. Read more
