Immunogenetics and the carriage of meningococcal bacteria
This project is available through the MIBTP programme. The successful applicant will join the MIBTP cohort and will take part in all of the training offered by the programme. Read more
Self funded BMS Project: Understanding the population dynamics of haematopoietic stem cells during gene therapy for sickle cell disease
Applications accepted for PhD Only. Background. This project builds on the recent discovery that whole genome sequencing approaches in blood stem and progenitor cells can be used to estimate the number of actively contributing blood stem cells in humans (Lee-Six et al., Nature 2018). Read more
Development of new therapies for immunothrombotic disease.
The Preston lab (www.prestonlab.com) at RCSI is seeking to recruit 2 x PhD students to join an SFI-funded research programme studying molecular pathways at the interface of blood coagulation and innate immunity. Read more

Epigenetics and Cancer: Determining how Mistakes in V(D)J Recombination Trigger Leukaemias and Lymphomas
Research Group:
School of Molecular and Cellular Biology
V(D)J recombination is essential to produce an effective adaptive immune system but since the reaction involves the breakage and rejoining of DNA, it is highly dangerous and errors have long been thought to lead to leukaemias and lymphomas. Read more
Investigating the role of the microenvironment in paediatric and adult acute myeloid leukaemia
The incidence of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) increases with age, and in childhood accounts for 20% of all leukaemia. The current overall survival rate in children is only 60-70%, and thereafter falls progressively with age to 5-15% in the elderly. Read more
Functional dissection of disease associated genetic loci in rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common chronic inflammatory disease characterized by inflammation of the joints and has a high socioeconomic burden. Read more
Genome Diversification in Cancer and Adaptive Immunity
Genomic instability (GI) is a hallmark of cancer that plays a central role in its initiation and development. GI can arise as a result of germline and somatic mutations that compromise a cell’s ability to accurately sense, signal or repair DNA damage. Read more

How regulatory immunological cues (re)programme cellular metabolism to control effector T cell behaviour and function
Upon activation a T cell transitions from a state of semi-quiescence to a state of high activity. During the process of activation the T cell therefore needs to up regulate metabolic pathways to acquire the energy and nutrients required to facilitate the behavioural changes associated with its new functional state.

The evolution of antimicrobial resistance in human infections
Antibiotics are our main defence against bacterial infections, but rising levels of resistance risks rendering antibiotics ineffective. Read more
