PhD in How TB-Infected Macrophages Are Cleared Medical Research Council (Cambridge) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute / Duque-Correa Group. This project focuses on parasitology , cell biology , molecular biology , and stem cell biology , with a strong emphasis on host-pathogen interaction , immunology , and gut tissue regeneration . The research asks how whipworms invade, colonise, and persist in the gut lining, and how they perturb the surrounding cells and tissue repair processes during chronic infection. The group uses a new ...

Funded PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom on sporulation biology of a honey-bee pathogen . This project focuses on Paenibacillus larvae , the bacterium that causes American Foul Brood (AFB) in honeybee larvae. AFB is a serious notifiable disease in many countries, including the UK, and has major consequences for beekeeping and pollinator health. The research aims to build a deeper molecular understanding of how this spore-forming pathogen completes its life cycle ...

PhD opportunity in immunology and molecular biology at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology. The project, supervised by Dr Patrycja Kozic, asks whether perforin-2 (Mpeg1) forms pores in two orientations and how this ancient MACPF/CDC family protein is regulated during immune responses. The research focuses on perforin-2 function in dendritic cells and macrophages, especially its roles in attacking intravacuolar pathogens and enabling cytosolic antigen deliver...
