PhD projects

A PhD position is available in the Andreas Wack research group to investigate interactions between airway epithelia and immune cells during influenza virus infection.

The main MRC Studentship recruitment round runs between September and January each year. Projects for 2013/14 MRC Studentships will be advertised here in autumn of 2012. Closed projects listed below are those advertised for the 2012/13 MRC Studentship recruitment round and are retained here for information purposes only.
