Infection Biology

Infection Biology Thematic PhD Programme

The Infection Biology theme investigates virulence mechanisms of pathogenic micro organisms and viruses, host response to infection, immunopathologies such as inflammation and immune system dysfunction as well as the development of novel therapeutics and drug delivery. 

The Infection Biology thematic PhD programme is delivered by three UCD schools:

• School of Biomolecular & Biomedical Science (SBBS)
• School of Medicine & Medical Science (SMMS)
• School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM)
• School of Agriculture and Food Science (SAFS)

 

Using expertise from each of these schools, the thematic programme provides innovative research opportunities and teaching to its students.

• UCD Graduate Studies' website details a number of PhD studentships applicable to this programme
