Integrative Infection Biology - Mechanisms and Control of Disease (360G-Wellcome-218518_Z_19_Z)
The mission of the proposed IIB Programme is to inspire the next generation of innovative world-class researchers to tackle global infection challenges. We will achieve this by shaping excellent PhD projects that build synergistic collaborations across the University of Glasgow and our partner institutes. Our aim is to give all students an exceptional experience, driving them to build their careers with the ability, confidence and integrity to make transformative contributions to global health. Our principles are promoting inquisitive and rigorous science, imparting technological and analytical skills, and reinforcing personal well-being. Our graduates will be ‘Scientists without Boundaries’ at ease with the implementation of far-reaching interdisciplinary concepts on the local and global stage. The IIB Programme is integrated around Glasgow’s core of global excellence across infectious disease research, including pathogen biology, pathogen-host interaction, epidemiology, ecology and transmission control, encompassing > 25 Wellcome Trust-funded investigators. We have partnered with key institutions in Europe and Africa, to offer PhD students exceptional opportunities in all areas of infection biology. UoG funding will add 2 students from Africa each year, making 7 altogether. Students will select projects after laboratory rotations and be fully mentored through to a ‘PhD-Plus Year’ fostering the transition to their post-doctoral career.
