PhD Immunology and Inflammation

Imperial College London

The Department of Immunology and Inflammation provides an ideal environment to pursue a PhD and build your career in research. As a postgraduate research student, you'll have access to state-of-the-art facilities and work alongside our world-leading academic staff in a dynamic and supportive research environment. We welcome applications from outstanding students from around the world, provided they meet the College's eligibility criteria.Our research focusses on discovering fundamental mechanisms linking the immune system to disease and translating these to advance molecular medicine in the clinic. The Department has a vibrant and dynamic multi-disciplinary research environment where scientists from clinical and non-clinical backgrounds work together to advance the understanding of disease mechanisms and to develop new translational approaches. It hosts excellent experimental programmes in basic and applied life sciences as well as clinical research and applies multidisciplinary approaches. We aim to support a broad spectrum of research with emphasis on molecular mechanisms of inflammatory and haematological conditions, autoimmunity, cellular mechanisms of tissue injury, cell signalling in cancer and inflammation, tumour immunology, cellular therapy, immunometabolism, haemostasis and thrombosis. It normally takes between three and four years of full-time work to complete. It is also possible to undertake a PhD part time, over five to six years.
