Virology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in the UK

We have 31 Virology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in the UK

Control and inhibition of virus replication

The Tuplin laboratory utilises a range of cutting-edge approaches to investigate how arboviruses - specifically Chikungunya, Dengue and Zika viruses - control replication and translation of their genomes through interactions between RNA structures, host cell proteins and non-coding RNA, and the potential of such RNA elements/interactions as novel therapeutic targets. Read more

Investigation of host-virus interactions

The School of Molecular and Cellular Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2024/25 in the area of molecular virology. Read more

Self-funded PhD- Integrated multi-omics characterisation of human retroviral reservoirs

Human retroviruses are a group of pathogens infecting an estimated 50 million people worldwide. The most widespread human retrovirus is HIV-1, which remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in developing countries. Read more

Employing molecular virology to investigate hepatitis E virus replication

This project is available to self funded candidates only. The Herod lab has a broad interest in virus replication, with a particular interest in studying single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses important for human and animal health. Read more

Enhancing Insight into Variations in Virulence Among Avian influenza Viruses Infecting Poultry

This studentship is open to science graduates with, or who anticipate obtaining, at least a 2:1 or equivalent in a relevant biological subject in their undergraduate degree, or a Masters degree - subject to university regulations. Read more

Self funded MSc by Research or PhD in Biology: The oncogenic mechanism and potential of the emergent retrovirus ALV-K in global poultry

Lead supervisor: Dr Andrew Mason. The student will be registered with the Department of Biology. Background. Avian Leukosis Viruses (ALV) are oncogenic retroviruses which cause blood cancers in chickens, impacting commercial productivity and animal welfare. Read more

SLS 1: Human lung 3D models to assess antiviral effects of novel and sustainable compounds against SARS-CoV-2 variants

We are looking for a PhD student to develop 3D models of the human breathing lung. The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the resulting Covid pandemic has highlighted the need for effective biological methods to assess viral infectivity and potential antiviral drug candidates. Read more

Impact of adeono-associated virus (AAV) formulation on utility

AAV gene therapy clinical trials are expanding to address unmet medical needs and the breadth of diseases to which AAVs are applied is increasing rapidly with over 200 trials registered globally. Read more

Exploring Viral Nucleic Acid Machinery via Cryo Electron Microscopy to Advance Biomedicine

Viruses, these tiny but potent life forms, are all around us, infecting various organisms and directly affecting human health. Although in most cases, viral infection is not life threatening, in the minority of cases it leads to long-term disorders including cancer. Read more
