How does microbial metabolism influence the evolution of Antimicrobial Resistance
Multi-drug resistant (MDR) Gram negative pathogens represent one of the most significant threats to global public health. MDR clones of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae now dominate the global landscape of urinary tract infections and bloodstream infections. Read more
KIRC1: Metabolism in inflamed immune microenvironment
CLINICAL OPTION. Immune responses differ drastically depending on where they occur. Tissue microenvironments help control immunity by providing signalling cues, cellular interactions, and importantly, determining the supply of nutrients and metabolites. Read more
NCKIR10: Metabolism in inflamed immune microenvironments
NON-CLINICAL OPTION. Immune responses differ drastically depending on where they occur. Tissue microenvironments help control immunity by providing signalling cues, cellular interactions, and importantly, determining the supply of nutrients and metabolites. Read more
Non-invasive cardiac metabolism assessment using ultra-high field (7T) MR Spectroscopy
My group at the Oxford Centre for Clinical Magnetic Resonance Research (OCMR) is focused on development of new methods for cardiac metabolism assessment using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Read more
PhD student position available in macronutrition and signaling regulated RNA metabolism
PhD student position available in macronutrition and signaling regulated RNA metabolism. The main research focus of our laboratory is to understand the participation of RNA processing in the regulation of energy metabolism in the context of obesity and diabetes. . Read more
Modelling metabolism in the human gut to understand inter-tissue metabolism during ageing
What we eat as humans as well as how food is physically and biologically processed in our stomach as well as our small and large intestines has an enormous impact on how we develop as infants, how we age and whether ageing is healthy or is impacted by disease. Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Development of non-invasive imaging biomarkers for assessing neural function and metabolism in a mouse model of intellectual disability
Neurodevelopmental disorders including autism spectrum disorders are highly prevalent in the Western world, leading to social deficits and intellectual disability. Read more
How does the metabolism of host glycans shape microbiota interactions?
Complex carbohydrates are the primary nutrient source for the human gut microbiota (HGM), a vast microbial community essential to human health and physiology. Read more
