Sexual Dimorphism in Immunity and Ageing
Our team researches why males and females have different responses to infection, why the sexes age differently, and how immunity and ageing interact. We want to find ways to target the immune system to promote healthy ageing in both sexes.
We are based in the Institute of Immunology and Infection in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Edinburgh.
What's going on with us?
- PhD project through EASTBIO is open for application: Sex differences in immune senescence and responses to geroprotective drug treatments
- Welcome to our new MScR Infection and Immunity Masters student, Julia!
- New paper! Opinion piece by Mary-Kate on using the fantastic fly model to understand variation in immunosenescence: Fly Immunity Comes of Age
- PhD projects through EASTBIO and NERC DTPs are open for application: Understanding the impact of host sex on viral infection and Testing the role of multiple environmental cues in life history plasticity
