Evaluating the impact of chemically reactive metabolites in premature ageing
While most biological molecules are not that chemically reactive, some are very reactive and can significantly affect our health. Read more
Precision Medicine DTP - Meta-analysis of genome wide functional screens to identify broad-spectrum antiviral and immuno-therapeutic targets
Research Group:
Centre for Inflammation Research
Background: . The recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has exposed our need for broad-spectrum antiviral therapeutics and also our need to understand variable clinical outcomes in regards viral disease, morbidity and mortality. Read more
Precision Medicine DTP - Mathematical modeling of pancreatic islet behaviour for the improvement of islet transplants in Type 1 Diabetes

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Can skin inflammation stop mosquito-borne virus infection?
The climate crisis is making mosquito-borne virus infections an increasing threat to human health. These viruses, such as those that cause Zika (ZIKV) and dengue, are infecting more people and spreading to new countries as the climate warms and globalisation helps mosquitoes spread. Read more
