About this position
PhD opportunity in the University of Glasgow in collaboration with Rose Ruiz Daniels and Martin Llewellyn.
The project will investigate how climate change affects host-pathogen interactions in salmonids, with a focus on the immune and epithelial cells of fish gills and skin. The research includes animal-free models and experimental systems to study pathogen interactions at biological interfaces.
Students will receive training in interdisciplinary methods such as microfluidics, microfabrication, imaging, coding for image analysis, microbiology, genetic engineering, and cell culture. Example experiments mentioned include live tracking of keratinocyte movement, amoeba/bacteria interactions, and imaging of flowing-water interfaces with gills and skin.
The opportunity is open to a wide range of academic backgrounds, but a strong interest in interdisciplinary science is required. Funding is available for both home and international students. Applications open in November.
Interested applicants should contact Leonardo Mancini first and then use the project link for further details.
