Virology (novel) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 15 Virology (novel) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

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

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

Cancer: Understanding the immunosuppressive role of fibroblast and macrophages in Breast cancer

Oncolytic viruses (OVs) preferentially infect and kill cancer cells, and their clinical efficacy has been demonstrated against a number of different cancers. The most clinically advanced OV is a genetically engineered herpes simplex virus (T-VEC) which expresses GMCSF to aid the development of anti-tumour immune responses; T-VEC is approved for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. Read more

The development of new antiviral agents targeting HIV-1

Even before the current global COVID-19 pandemic, the threat posed to human health by viruses was extensive and although significant progress in targeting some viruses (e.g., HIV-1 and hepatitis C) has been made, challenges remain. 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

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

Development of a DNA amplification-free assay for pathogen detection

Applications are invited for a funded PhD position in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham. The School of Chemistry is keen to achieve a gender and diversity balance across the School and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds. Read more

Virus antigenic evolution under immune pressure

About the Project. The persistent evasion of COVID-19 from vaccines and monoclonal antibody therapeutics underscores the critical need to comprehend how endemic and zoonotic viruses evolve to counter antibody-mediated immune responses. Read more

Predicting the Evolution of Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 Viruses

Our research focus is to design and develop analytical, computational, and mathematical methods to understand the fundamental processes that govern the evolution of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 viruses. Read more

Developing an AI-driven BCI-based neurofeedback device to treat chronic post-viral fatigue syndrome

The Faculty of Science and Health at the University of Essex is offering one PhD research Scholarship for a student to participate in a joint project with g.tec (gtec.at), NHS, and BT. Read more
