Master by Research / PhD Opportunity in the Immune Signature of Sepsis University of Melbourne in Australia

Research Degree Opportunity at the University of Melbourne on the causes of immune paralysis and lethal secondary infections in sepsis and trauma patients . This project focuses on immunology , clinical sciences , and biochemistry and cell biology , with an emphasis on understanding how macrophage and dendritic cell paralysis develops after severe infection or trauma, and how this leads to immunosuppression and dangerous secondary infections. The project also aims to develop therapies to prevent...

PhD opportunity at Cardiff University in the Cardiff School of Medicine on immune modulation of tonsillar Natural Killer (NK) cell immunity by Group A Streptococcus (GAS) . This project sits at the intersection of medical science, biology, immunology, and infectious disease . The human tonsils are important for generating neutralizing antibodies, yet they can also be a site where GAS persists and contributes to recurrent tonsillitis and invasive infections. The PhD student will investigate wheth...

Research Degree Opportunity at the University of Melbourne PhD project: Immunological mechanisms underlying anti-obesity medication effects in young people: a longitudinal study of inflammation, trained immunity, and anti-infective responses . This project examines how incretin analogues, including GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), affect inflammation, trained immunity, and anti-viral/anti-infective immune responses in young people with obesity. The study is based in paediatrics and sits at the...

Research Degree Opportunity at the University of Melbourne Towards better treatments for childhood lung disease is a PhD project offered by the Department of Paediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, at the University of Melbourne. The work is based at the Royal Children’s Hospital / Murdoch Childrens Research Institute in Australia. This project will investigate the immune and molecular mechanisms underlying childhood lung disease, including asthma and suppurative lung di...

Research Degree Opportunity at the University of Melbourne in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology , Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, based at the Doherty Institute in Australia. This project explores the intersection of diet and immunity , focusing on whether plant-derived metabolites interact with the MR1–MR1T cell axis and how these interactions influence immune activation. The work is highly relevant to immunology , medical science , and chemistry , with methods i...
