Manipulation of neuroimmune responses and behaviour by infectious agents

University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences

This project is available exclusively to self-funded students who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2023/24. The project focuses on how infectious agents modify the individuals that they infect and how neuroimmune responses to infection moderate behaviour changes in warm-blooded animals and humans.

Self-funded PhD- Understanding tumour-mediated suppression of cytotoxic T cell function by rebuilding it in vitro

University of Bristol School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine

Summary. Cytotoxic T cells have the capability of killing tumour target cells. However, this ability is commonly suppressed within the tumour microenvironment. Read more

Investigating the neuro-stromal-immune interactions in inflammageing and osteoarthritis.

University of Greenwich School of Pharmacy (Medway Campus)

Ageing is associated with a higher risk of developing multiple chronic conditions (multimorbidity) including osteoarthritis. Age-associated chronic low-grade inflammation (inflammageing) is a hallmark of osteoarthritis. Read more

The epigenomic, transcriptional and diagnostic architecture of neurodevelopmental disorders caused by exposure to maternal infection

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

A fundamental unknown in understanding mechanisms of disease, and therefore improving therapy, is how stressors experienced during critical developmental periods influence the genesis or ‘programming’ of adult disease (Estes & McAllister 2016). Read more

Ion channel signalling in cancer cells

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

Our cells constantly sense and transport ions present in their environment. From embryonic development to epilepsy to heart disease to cancer, our cells’ ability to respond to changes in the ionic microenvironment is essential for healthy ageing. Read more

Determining how immune responses are regulated in the lung and gut by the local environment

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

The immune system must respond quickly to infection but must also be tightly regulated so it ignores harmless substances and our own tissues. Read more
