Research Degree Opportunity at the University of Melbourne for a project titled MR1 – a molecular detection system for bacteria . This project sits in the areas of immunology , microbiology , and biochemistry and cell biology , with a focus on how MR1 acts as a molecular “alarm system” to detect microbes, capture bacterial metabolite by-products, and activate MAIT cells. The research aims to uncover the molecular machinery behind MR1 function and expression and to better understand how this cons...

Research Degree Opportunity at the University of Melbourne on the immune signature of sepsis . This project sits in Microbiology and Immunology within the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, with supervision from Dr Laura Cook (Principal Supervisor), Prof Yugeesh Lankadeva (Internal Co-supervisor), and Prof Jose Villadangos (Internal Co-supervisor). The work is based at the Doherty Institute in Australia. The project focuses on immunology , clinical sciences , sepsis, immune phen...

Research Degree Opportunity at the University of Melbourne in trogocytosis , immunology , biochemistry , and cell biology . This project investigates how Marginal Zone B cells and Dendritic Cells communicate through a newly discovered mechanism involving Complement C3 and MHC class II molecules, and how excessive trogocytosis can lead to DC death (trogoptosis). The work is offered through the Biochemistry and Pharmacology area in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, with resea...
