infection model PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 35 infection model PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Modelling the respiratory microbiome in chronic lung disease and healthy ageing

The Respiratory Microbiome Group seeks to understand the interactions between complex communities of bacteria, fungi and viruses with the human respiratory tract in both disease (acute infections and chronic lung disease) and in health or healthy ageing. Read more

Molecular characterisation of harmful diatom and dinoflagellate-pathogen interactions

The University of Aberdeen is offering a unique opportunity for a Doctoral Candidate (DC) to undertake full-time research, in the framework of the project in PHABB (“Pathogens of Algae for Biocontrol and Biosecurity”). Read more

Systemic infections accelerate tau spreading by promoting glial activation

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease, with a complex biology. In this PhD project, we aim to explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying tau pathology. Read more

Fully funded PhD student position in structural biology of viruses

PhD position in the structural biology of viruses. The Department of Chemistry is opening a PhD position in Chemistry with a specialization in structural biology. Read more

Modulation of host immune response by secreted proteins from parasitic worms

Background. To establish chronic infection, parasitic worms manipulate their mammalian hosts’ immune system. This immune modulation is often mediated by excreted or secreted parasite glycoproteins (ES proteins). Read more

The role of regulatory evolution in phage ecology

The regulation of genes crucially determines the fitness and function of all organisms. This is particularly relevant for bacteriophages, the viruses that infect bacteria, as they rely on a tightly scheduled program for a successful infection. Read more

Developing 3D models to understand how interactions between bacterial biofilm and the host environment impact antimicrobial efficacy in a chronic infected wound

2.8 million people in the UK have a chronic wound which persist for months or years, causing pain, isolation, odour, and decreased mobility; patients with chronic wounds regularly report a deterioration in quality of life. Polymicrobial biofilms are present in greater than 70% of chronic wounds, making effective treatment incredibly challenging.
