Manipulation of neuroimmune responses and behaviour by infectious agents

University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences

This project is available exclusively to self-funded students who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2023/24. The project focuses on how infectious agents modify the individuals that they infect and how neuroimmune responses to infection moderate behaviour changes in warm-blooded animals and humans.
