PhD Parasitology
Course Overview
This course offers a comprehensive exploration of parasitology, from molecular mechanisms to population-level dynamics, aimed at understanding and controlling parasitic diseases. Students will undertake an individual research project, gaining hands-on experience in cutting-edge laboratories and potentially in the field. The program is supported by one of the UK's largest and most diverse groups of parasitologists, providing an exceptional environment for interdisciplinary research.
Key Program Highlights
- Investigate globally significant parasites like malaria, leishmania, and livestock pathogens.
- Gain training in diverse techniques, from molecular biology and 'omics to epidemiology and mathematical modelling.
- Access world-class facilities and expertise through the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Parasitology.
- Pursue interdisciplinary projects that can include fieldwork opportunities both in the UK and overseas.
- Apply research to real-world challenges in disease control, drug discovery, and global food security.
