A 3.5 -year fully-funded PhD studentship, including international fee, is offered to explore the use of cutting-edge technologies and novel vaccine platforms for the development of vaccines against E. coli. Infections caused by E. coli in humans and animals result in significant morbidity and mortality. The emergence of antimicrobial resistance is making infections more difficult to treat. The high variability of isolates, virulence factors and pathogenic presentations of infections by E. coli poses a significant challenge for the development of cost-effective vaccines. In this project, the student will leverage recent technologies and synergies between the veterinary and human vaccinology fields to identify relevant antigen targets, create tools to support vaccine development and ultimately create and evaluate novel vaccine candidates against E. coli infections.
Supervisors: Professor Christine Rollier, Dr Jai Mehat, Professor Roberto La Ragione.
