Modulation of host immune response by secreted proteins from parasitic worms

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

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

Analysis of pathogen determinants recognized by the hypervariable immune receptor Dscam

University of Birmingham School of Biosciences

Background. To mount an immune response, host organisms must first recognize the pathogen with which they are infected. The first line of defense against pathogen infection in animals is provided through the innate immune response. Read more

MSc by Research: Protein secretion landscapes in human immune cells

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

Roughly one third of the human genome encodes secretory and membrane proteins. Following synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), these proteins are captured into transport vesicles for delivery within the cell. Read more

Discovery and functional investigation of the shared molecular mechanisms of host immunoregulation by the pathogens that cause malaria and sepsis.

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

Infectious diseases cause enormous humanitarian and economic burdens worldwide. Designing interventions that prevent, cure, or control many infections is difficult because pathogens have evolved sophisticated ways of subverting host immunity. Read more

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

University of Leeds Faculty of Medicine and Health

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.
