博士炎症

炎症研究中心（CIR）旨在通过对炎症反应的引发，调控和解决进行跨学科研究，并为该领域的研究培训提供出色的环境，从而促进炎症疾病的预防，诊断和治疗。CIR研究人员旨在表征和操纵炎症的关键控制点。我们专注于：通过阻断免疫学特定的触发因素和调节细胞和组织对伤害性刺激的反应来抑制炎症的发生<br>寻找新方法以促进对既定炎症反应的有益调节，从而限制组织损伤<br>促进安全解决炎症和被摄动组织的结构和功能恢复
Students on the ‘Inflammation PhD’ Programme will be studying for their PhD under supervision of a Principal Investigator of the Centre for Inflammation Research (CIR). CIR, which is directed by Prof David Dockrell, Chair of Infection Medicine, is part of the Institute for Regeneration and Repair (IRR)._x000D_ Scientists and clinician scientists in the Centre for Inflammation Research study processes related to the initiation, regulation and resolution of acute and chronic inflammation, including those caused by pathogens and microbiota and the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory and infectious diseases._x000D_ Acute inflammation is a critical part of the body’s response to infection and required for tissue homeostasis and the response to infectious diseases, while chronic inflammatory disorders are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Chronic inflammation promotes tissue and organ fibrosis with adverse functional consequences. Research in the CIR addresses the critical need to identify therapeutic targets in inflammation and infection, new approaches to imaging inflammation and fibrosis and aims to translate these developments to clinical applications._x000D_ Research topics within CIR cover many areas, including:_x000D_ development of inflammatory cells_x000D_ the microbiome_x000D_ autoimmunity_x000D_ the role of inflammatory responses in respiratory, hepatic, renal, skin and neurological diseases and cancer biology_x000D_ development and regulation of immunity and host-pathogen interactions_x000D_ the initiation, regulation and resolution of inflammatory responses._x000D_ CIR aims to promote the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory and infectious diseases through interdisciplinary study and by providing an outstanding environment for research training in the field._x000D_ For a full description of research groups and their topics, visit the research profiles of CIR Principal Investigators:_x000D_ CIR Research_x000D_ (Revised 5 December 2024 to update areas of research)
