EASTBIO: Chemical biology approaches to facilitate drug target identification in Cryptosporidium
Cryptosporidiosis is a zoonotic disease that affects both human and cattle. Cryptosporidium parasites infect the epithelium of the gastro intestinal tract and cause severe diarrheao. Read more
EASTBIO: Imaging of parasite immunomodulators to reveal functional localisation and potential for use as vaccines.
Parasitic helminths (worms) are effective manipulators of the host immune response, through the release of immunomodulatory proteins. Read more
EastBio - Invasive mammals, island biogeography, and the ecological epidemiology of a One Health pathogen
Funding. This 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by EastBio BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate, plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
EastBio - Landscape genetics and vector incrimination of the snail intermediate hosts that transmit endemic and invasive Fasciola liver fluke in South African rural environments
Funding. This 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by EastBio BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate, plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
EastBio - Using Bark Compounds to Mitigate Anthelmintic Resistance in Ruminants
Funding. This 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by EastBio BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate, plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: The Biting-Edge of AI – Predicting Mosquito Vector Competence for Viruses
Mosquito-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose major global threats to animal and human health, and food security. They are disproportionately prominent in global emerging infectious diseases, currently threaten the UK (e.g., West Nile and Usutu viruses), and will likely continue to increase in their global importance.

Paediatric schistosomiasis: investigating the impact and mechanism of a novel strategy to optimise the benefits of paediatric praziquantel treatment.
Research Group:
Institute of Immunology & Infection Research
On the African continent, schistosomiasis is the second most important parasitic disease of public health concern affecting ~120 million people, predominantly children. Read more

EastBio: Dynamics of mitochondrial genome complexity in trypanosomes
Research Group:
Institute of Immunology & Infection Research
Human and livestock diseases caused by trypanosomatid parasites threaten health and livelihood of millions of people in Africa, South America and Asia. Read more
How do ubiquitin writers control malaria transmission?
Research Group:
Institute of Immunology & Infection Research
Protein ubiquitination is a key regulatory process that controls many aspects of eukaryotic life. Both free living and pathogenic organisms employ ubiquitination mediated protein networks to adapt to their environment. Read more
EastBio - Impact of the soil ecosystem on gastrointestinal nematodes of grazing sheep
Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) parasites of sheep have a profound impact on animal health and welfare and the sustainability of the industry. Read more
EastBio - Meloidogyne naasi, a “naasty” problem for Scotland’s cereal sector
Root knot nematodes (Meloidogyne sp.) are globally the most damaging plant-parasitic nematodes causing devastating loss of yield by parasitising the roots of their host plant. Read more
EastBio - Furthering sustainable control of gastrointestinal nematodes and anthelmintic resistance in sheep flocks through mathematical modelling
Gastro-intestinal nematode (GIN) infections have serious negative consequences on the health and welfare of livestock worldwide and threaten the economic viability of livestock production. Read more
Understanding heterogeneity of eukaryotic chaperonin complex
Research Group:
Institute of Immunology & Infection Research
Protein folding is an important cellular process, and malfunction of protein folding often leads to range of developmental phenotypes, and even diseases. Read more
Hidden Risks: Identifying and Understanding High-Risk Human Behaviours for Zoonotic Disease Transmission
. Overview. Annually, in the UK, approximately 40 known zoonotic diseases infect 300,000 people. At a broad scale we collect data on exposure risks to these zoonoses using ‘extended surveillance data’, collated by public health bodies. Read more
EastBio: Keeping up with the Joneses: how do trypanosome parasites adapt to coinfection with other trypanosomes?
Research Group:
Institute of Immunology & Infection Research
African trypanosomes are responsible for human disease but their major impact is on livestock in sub Saharan Africa. Here, they cause the disease ‘nagana’, a fatal wasting of cattle responsible for economic losses of around $4B annually in afflicted regions. Read more
