Overview
Using both animal models and human systems, we aim to develop better drugs and vaccines for the treatment and prevention of infection.
Features
- Growing resistance to antibiotics poses a grave threat to human health and developing novel strategies to combat bacterial infections is one of this century’s most important scientific challenges.
- Microbiology at the School of Infection and Immunity from University of Glasgow is focused on a molecular understanding bacterial pathogenesis and utilising this to develop novel therapeutics for the treatment of bacterial infections.
Programme Structure
Specific areas of interest include:
- molecular basis of virulence in Staphylococcus aureus and C. difficile
- bacterial manipulation of apoptosis
- bacteriophage and pathogenicity island genetics
- development of therapeutic anti-virulence strategies
- pneumonia and cystic fibrosis
- interactions of bacteria with the host immune system
