We are in a constant and ever evolving battle with viruses. Our only defence are vaccines or antivirals. Both are typically developed in response to viral outbreaks meaning that any defence we mount is reactive and not proactive. Read more
A 2025 Crick PhD project with Emma Wall & David Bauer. Vaccine-induced immunity to respiratory viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 wanes, necessitating regular boosting to provide enduring protection to at-risk adults from hospitalisation and death. Read more
Are you fascinated by the intricate world of understanding the core biology and function of microbes and their impact on human health? Do you want to contribute to cutting-edge research engineering bacteriophages to reprogramme bacterial communities and how this could be used in health?. Read more
The research will be rewarding for any qualified student passionate about positively impacting microbial ecology and our understanding of microbial communities through their research. Read more
The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the urgent need for improved preparedness to control the outbreak of emerging respiratory virus infections. Read more
The evolution of human viral infections imposes a continuous threat for global health. The COVID-19 pandemic was characterised by substantial waves of infection resulting from increasingly infectious variants, from Alpha through to Omicron. Read more
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
Join our cutting-edge PhD programs at one of Europe's leading Universities in the field of medical research. We offer the unique opportunity to work with state-of-the-art techniques and link basic research with clinically-oriented sciences. Read more
The Xu lab focuses on Nanobodies. Nanobodies are antigen-binding entities derived from the heavy chain-only antibodies of camelid animals, and they retain full antigen specificity at a very small size (13 kDa). Read more
The recent COVID-19 pandemic, and in particular fomite transmission of the virus, led to a lot of interest in how viral particles attached to surfaces, their survival times on different materials and how they transferred to hosts. Read more

Respiratory viral infections are the most prevalent illnesses in humans. In addition to their immediate health effects, these infections can result in long-term lung conditions like pulmonary fibrosis and worsen existing chronic lung diseases. Read more
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
