生物科学哲学博士-免疫学

我们生物科学学院的研究涵盖了从基因到生态系统的广泛生物学领域，这种基础广泛的结构为发展新颖思想和跨学科项目提供了机会。我们在免疫学工作人员专业知识的所有领域提供监督。这包括涉及了解感染和免疫中各种细胞膜受体的项目。例如，研究革兰氏阴性细菌如何感染细胞，巨噬细胞如何对细菌做出反应以及什么导致“败血性休克综合症”和多器官衰竭。我们的项目还着眼于孕妇孕期免疫系统及其对胚胎发育和胎儿耐受性的影响。
Research in our School of Life Sciences covers a wide spectrum of biology from genes to ecosystems, and this broad-based structure provides opportunities for developing novel ideas and inter-disciplinary projects. We offer supervision in all areas of staff expertise in immunology, which includes projects involving understanding a variety of cell-membrane receptors in infection and immunity. For example, investigating how gram-negative bacteria infect cells, how macrophages respond to bacteria and what leads to ‘septic shock syndrome' and multiple organ failure. Our projects also look at the relationship between the maternal immune system during pregnancy and its influence in embryonic development and fetal tolerance.<br><br>Many of our postgraduates continue their scientific research by taking up postdoctoral positions in the UK and overseas. Others have embarked on careers in biomedical laboratories and in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, both in research and development. We support your career development by a mentoring scheme and employability events.
