Deciphering mechanisms of host-to-host transmission in pathogenesis of pneumococcal disease
The major human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is the main cause of pneumonia and meningitis worldwide and despite the global implementation of vaccine programmes, the burden of pneumococcal disease remains unacceptably high, especially in low-income countries. Read more
BBSRC NWD CASE: The role of co-infections in modulating anti-nematode immune responses
Background. Animals are normally infected with parasitic nematodes, that cause harm to hosts. Nematodes infect a quarter of the world’s human population and are ubiquitous parasites of livestock leading to production losses. Read more
Vaccine development for important spirochaetal diseases of cattle.
*Bovine digital dermatitis (DD) is a severe, infectious, foot skin disease affecting cattle worldwide. This disease causes severe pain resulting in ruminant lameness and impacts animal welfare. Read more
BBSRC NWD CASE: Characterizing Bovine Calf Immune Responses to Intranasal Vaccination and Naturally Acquired Coronavirus Infection
Respiratory disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality of bovine calves post-weaning affecting approximately 1.9 million calves per year and costing the UK £54 million annually. Read more
BBSRC NWD: Manipulating the Immune System's Interaction with Biomaterials to Guide Immunomodulatory Responses for Optimised Therapeutic Interventions
Due to their ability to integrate with biological systems, biomaterials are increasingly used in regenerative medicine, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. Read more
BBSRC NWD: Dissecting the diversity of plasminogen-binding cell surface proteins to develop a vaccine for bovine digital dermatitis
Background. Developing vaccines for endemic diseases of livestock is key to reducing antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance. Read more
SEVERITY GRADING AND BIOMARKERS FOR RETINAL VASCULITIS
Retinal vasculitis is an important component of inflammatory eye disease or uveitis, as well as a serious adverse effect of new intravitreal treatments. Read more
Investigating the regulation of neutrophil gene expression by intracellular signalling and small non-coding RNAs
Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID) such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) affect millions of people worldwide and cause debilitating and disabling musculoskeletal disease. Read more
Investigating the role of neutrophil-mediated tissue damage in a model of lupus nephritis
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a rare autoimmune disease that affects around 5 million people worldwide. It disproportionately affects women and is incurable. Read more
Determining metabolic reprogramming events in stem cells in response to inflammatory disease phenotype
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are responsible for the repair of damaged tissue following injury and disease as well as moderating innate and adaptive immune responses and regulation of self-tolerance and tissue homeostasis. Read more
Investigating how tumour associated macrophages affect cancer metastasis and response to therapies
Solid tumours are generally highly infiltrated by macrophages. Macrophages are heterogeneous and different populations with different and sometimes even opposite functions co-exist in tumours affecting cancer progression. Read more
