Researchers at the Department of Pathology have discovered a simple new blood test that will help to diagnose and treat certain types of cancer. The research was led by Dr Matthew Murray and Professor Nicholas Coleman.
The Leeuwenhoek Medal and Lecture 2020 is awarded to Professor Geoffrey L. Smith FMedSci FRS for his studies of poxviruses which has had major impact in wider areas, notably vaccine development, biotechnology, host-pathogen interactions and innate immunity.
Researchers from the Department say that new ‘mini-placentas’ – a cellular model of the early stages of the placenta – could provide a window into early pregnancy and help transform our understanding of reproductive disorders. Details of this new research are published in the journal Nature.
Members of our Department are available to all staff to provide advice and guidance in specific areas, including applying for funding, career progression and teaching.
The Ita Askonas Bursaries are intended to allow postdoctoral researchers in the fields of infection and immunology to pursue specific research projects or networking opportunities at another institution, either to further their current research project, or to generate new areas of research. Details for the next round of applications will be available soon.
