Antiviral defence during early development
The major innate immune response against viruses, the type I interferon response, is inactive during the very early days of embryonic development. Read more
EASTBIO: Using CRISPR technologies towards the identification of host genes underpinning the zoonotic potential of avian influenza
Influenza A virus circulates globally in migratory wild aquatic birds, frequently but unpredictably spilling over into domestic poultry, causing huge economic burden. Read more
Understanding the mechanism of action of genomic loci associated with severe asthma for clinical translation
Second Supervisor. Prof. Ian Sayers, Centre for Respiratory Research, NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre, School of Medicine, Biodiscovery Institute, University of Nottingham. Read more
Structural and Molecular Characterisation of Jumbo Phage SPFM10 for the Development of Phage Therapy Against Non-Typhoidal Salmonella
We invite applicants for a 4-year iCASE studentship to work in collaboration with our industrial partner Carus Animal Health. Second Supervisor. Read more
CSC studentship: Protein engineering for new C-nucleoside production
Nucleosides are essential components of DNA, RNA, and other molecules that are vital for cell function. Therefore, nucleoside analogues have long been employed as drugs to combat cancer, viral infections, and microbial diseases. Read more
Virus diversity and disease on UK trout farms: metaviromic approaches for improved fish health
What problem will I be helping to solve?. We know that about a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions come from food production. Read more
Modelling Staphylococcus aureus – HPV coinfection in the tonsil
The study of bacterial-viral interactions in the context of the tonsil remains a relatively unexplored area of … Read more
Investigating the Molecular Mechanisms of RNA Virus Persistence
Are you fascinated by the interplay between viruses and their hosts? Join our cutting-edge research team to uncover the molecular secrets behind RNA virus persistence. Read more
Viral infection capacity across crustaceans of economic importance
Crustacean diseases cause economic damage to industry and the environment. Billions are lost on a yearly basis due to disease in crustacean aquaculture and, in wild systems, crustaceans commonly introduce disease-causing microbes as biological invaders. Read more
Understanding the role of piRNAs in mosquito immunity
Vector-borne diseases afflict humans, livestock and plants – according to WHO, vector-borne diseases comprise ~17% of all infectious disease of humans – and also threaten biodiversity by their impact on endangered species. Read more
Ageing and Infection: Does RNA sensing play a key role?
Ageing is one of the biggest mortality risk factors to a range of zoonotic RNA viruses including influenza and SARS-COV-2. Infected cells activate RNA sensing pathways to promote inflammation and leukocyte mediated recruitment. Read more
How does cross play of DNA replication, packaging and innate immune response determine assembly efficiency of viral vectors for gene therapies?
Gene therapies are novel therapeutic approaches for rare genetic diseases. One key technology for gene therapies are engineered viral vectors, especially recombinant Adeno-associated Viruses (rAAVs). Read more
Impact of Hypermutability and Restriction-Modification by Campylobacter jejuni, a foodborne pathogen, on Bacteriophage Control Measures
Campylobacter jejuni is a major foodborne pathogen responsible for thousands of cases gastroenteritis every year. The major source of infections by this bacterial pathogen is contaminated poultry products. Read more
Harnessing symbionts for control of vector borne disease in agriculture
Insects vector globally important diseases in agriculture, posing significant economic burdens and threatening food security. Virus transmission by sap-sucking insects account for nearly half of all plant pathogens, leading to >£24 billion in global annual costs. Read more
Funded PhD SWBio DTP- Mechanism of free fatty acid protection against SARS-CoV-2 viral replication
Project description. Even several years after its emergence, SARS-CoV-2 is still a global disease impacting millions of lives where new variants appear to influence the efficacy of vaccines dramatically. Read more
