Gram-negative bacteria have caused substantial multi-drug resistance (MDR) in both clinical and community settings. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs),...
Supervisor: Nanoantibiotics - SHEN LAB
Some intermediary metabolic enzymes are upregulated in the liver of mice and humans with type 2 diabetes. Here we will test whether and how these...
Supervisor: Dr Adam Rose
Antibiotic resistance continues to emerge and intensify. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a promising alternative to current antibiotics, but...
Supervisor: Professor Mibel Aguilar
We develop methods for single particle electron microscopy (SPEM). Our SPEM developments are motivated by our interest in transcriptional control...

RESEARCH BACKGROUND
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common of the neurodegenerative disorders, affecting 1-2% of the population...
Supervisor: Dr Michael Lazarou
TCR recognition of peptide + MHC class I complexes (pMHCI) is central to CD8+ T cell function. It is clear that the nature of the TCR-pMHCI...
Supervisor: Professor Nicole La Gruta
DC take up, process and present antigen (Ag) to T cells to initiate immune responses. There are multiple DC subsets that are tailored for different...
Supervisor: Assoc Professor Mireille Lahoud
A central feature of inflammatory diseases is the migration of white blood cells into the affected tissues. This is controlled by a group of proteins...
Supervisor: Assoc Professor Martin Stone
Despite enormous progress in research, cancer remains a devastating disease worldwide. Since generally not all patients will respond to a specific...

The cochlea is the organ of the inner ear essential for hearing. It is embedded in the skull and converts sound waves into electrical impulses...
Supervisor: Professor Phillip Bird
We are facing an era where the antibiotic cornerstone of modern medicine is under threat due to bacterial resistance. Deadly superbugs are not only...
Supervisor: Dr Jennifer Payne
Tuberous sclerosis, or “tuberous sclerosis complex” (TSC), is a lifelong genetic disorder that affects millions of individuals. TSC is manifest in...
Supervisor: Dr Charles Bayly-Jones
Therapies that enhance the immune response to tumours have revolutionised the management of cancer. However, most tumours do not have a high...
Supervisor: Professor Tony Tiganis
Background: Mitochondria are energy-producing organelles. They form a network inside cells, and their health is critical to cell function....
Supervisor: Dr Georg Ramm
The immune system is one of the most dynamic in our bodies. The mechanisms that maintain immune homeostasis must contend with the constant churn of...
Supervisor: Professor Nicholas Huntington
Metabolite based T cell immunity is emerging as a major player in antimicrobial immunity, autoimmunity, cancer, and metabolic diseases. Initially,...
