URSS Research Topics and Supervisors
Overall Topics
Virology
Viral Replication and proliferation at the molecular level
Bacteria
Immunology?
Must be people talking about the effect of microbial pathogens on elements of the immune system
Something microbiology / molecular pathogenic mechanisms
Not lab based = something in public engagement and science communication
Microbiology and Infectious Disease
People and Research Areas
Dr. Antonia Sagonia
Phage-bacteria interactions in human cell models
Leads the virology TM2 labs
Offers Y3 labs in phage annotation and bioinformatics and wet labs in bacteria-huma-phage cell interactions
Dr. Marwan Albutori
Researchings HPV strains releating to cervical cancer
Teaching and supervising focus on profile
Y3 dry projects on genetic mutation and variation in viral genes
Dr Margarida Castro Gomes Spencer
Training innate immune cells to boost infection fighting capabilities to reduce reliance on antibiotics which are becoming increasingly obsolete through the rise of AMR
Mentions Y3 and mBio projects
Dr. Erin Connelly
Tests medieval medicine recipes to see if they're onto something
Allister Crow - Protein structure and structural microbiology
Orin Countenay
Vector borne, neglected tropical disease
Offers Y3 projects on analysis of field data on transmission, surveillance and control of vector-borne diseases
Xavier Didelot - Statistics and Bioinformatics in epidemiology and genomic data
Louise Dyson - Modelling infectious disease dynamics
Jeremy Keown
essential life stages of negative-sense RNA viruses
Mentions dry and wet projects for UGs
Richard Puxty
UG projects in molecular cloning, molecular microbiology and microbial physiology
Details of Application Process
To be completed with supervisor
Deadline = 6th Feb
Do i want to apply to any other programs incase i get rejected? How likely is it that a well thought through project with wet lab elements with a member of the department would get rejected anyway?
Application Questions
Title of Project
Explanation of Project
How I am going to complete the project
Relevance of the project, who will be interested and how will i engage them (ICUR?) - Public engagement aspect
How will i benefit from doing the project
To Do
Go through the people in the cluster who might be taking URSS students and research things that are of interest to me and look into their research area and any potential topic i could squirrel into
Decide who to email
Write email to chosen potential supervisor
Something on viral replication and the effects of something like antiviral therapies or compounds... could then do plaque assays or something and make some cool growth curve things maybe
