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
