Course summary
Our PhD/MPhil Inflammation Sciences programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Inflammation Sciences. Inflammation sciences combine cutting edge research with translational biology. Principal investigators come from a variety of disciplines (medical sciences, mucosal immunology, cell biology, genetics) to address key questions in the inflammation field. Many projects are disease-focused, with an emphasis on understanding mechanism or addressing an unmet clinical need. Investigations are carried out using both human tissue and animal models to accelerate translation. State-of-the-art core facilities in flow cytometry, imaging, microscopy, bioinformatics and transgenics provide progressive approaches to complex research questions. Examples of research programmes include:
- Inflammation, tissue recovery and repair
- Mucosal tissue homeostasis
- Immune responses in the intestine
- Skin inflammation
- Neuroinflammation
- Lung immunity
- Infections and allergens in asthma
- Fungal lung disease
- Biomarkers in COPD
- Understanding food allergy
Entry requirements
We require applicants to hold, or be about to obtain, an Upper Second class Honours degree (or overseas equivalent) in a related subject area for entry to a PhD programme. A Lower Second class Honours degree may be considered if applicants also hold a Master's degree with a Merit classification.
