OTHER INFECTIOUS DISEASES

STIs, AMR, Viral, Parasitic, Fungal & Helminthic Infections

Our researchers investigates a broad spectrum of infectious diseases, including:

• Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as HPV.

• Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and strategies to combat drug-resistant pathogens.

• Viral diseases beyond HIV and COVID-19, including emerging and re-emerging infections.

• Parasitic infections such as malaria.

• Fungal and helminthic infections affecting global health.

Pathogenesis & The Role of the Microbiome

Understanding how infectious agents cause disease is crucial for developing effective treatments. Our research includes:

• Investigating host-pathogen interactions and immune responses.

• Exploring the role of the microbiome in disease susceptibility and progression.

Vaccine Design & Drug Discovery

Preventing and treating infectious diseases requires continuous innovation.Our work focusses on:

• Designing and testing new vaccines for infectious diseases.

• Discovering and optimising antimicrobial, antiviral, and antiparasitic drugs
