Parasitology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 42 Parasitology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
PhD Opportunity - Cryogenic correlated light and electron tomography of virally infected cells
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline and techniques used. We use cryo-CLEM/cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) to study the complex relationships between viruses and the host cell during infection. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Barriers to influenza virus cross-species transmission
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Project outline: Influenza A viruses (IAV) are the cause of a major global health burden in humans and animals. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Using microfluidics and flow cytometry to develop novel diagnostics for Leishmaniasis
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Summary. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Understanding coordination of DNA replication initiation in the African trypanosome
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Summary. DNA replication is a central cellular reaction, necessary for genome transmission and the propagation of life. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Investigating the cell biology of Neoparamoeba perurans, a causative agent of Amoebic Gill Disease, and its endosymbiont kinetoplastid, Perkinsela.
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Summary. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Exploring redox homeostasis in the mitochondria of the parasites causing malaria and toxoplasmosis
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Summary: This project will reveal opportunities for drug discovery for the deadly malaria and toxoplasmosis parasites through understanding how these parasites deal with redox stress and how redox regulators function. Read more
Design, synthesis and evaluation of novel antimalarials based on fendiline
Malaria is a life-threatening, infectious disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite. In 2022 more than 249 million cases were reported globally, with an estimated 608 000 deaths (WHO, 2023). Read more
Artificial intelligence-driven vaccine development to tackle the myxozoan parasite that causes proliferative kidney disease in farmed fish.
Myxozoan parasites are an unusual group of basal metazoan parasites causing severe disease in farmed fish species. Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae causes proliferative kidney disease (PKD) in salmonid fish throughout Europe and USA. Read more
Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University
The Biomedical Sciences doctoral degree programme has been created through the merging Medical Biology, Anatomy, Histology, Embryology, and Molecular Medicine, which has been designed in the CEITEC MU research centre to be a robust singular study programme consisting of three disciplines (Cell and Tissue Morphology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and Molecular Medicine).

Mapping CD4+ T cell fate decisions and functional coordination within tissues during infection
CD4+ T cells are essential components of the immune system, orchestrating protection against infection. Read more
Forensic acarology: the importance of mites in forensic investigations
This project involves the study of mites (Acari) in their role as useful markers in forensic investigations. . Read more
Ecology and behaviour of urban wildlife
The construction and development of urban areas is a relatively recent phenomenon. Urbanisation does, however, impose a range of advantages and disadvantages for biological organisms and which can bring them into conflict with humans. Read more
