At this years British Society of Immunology (BSI) annual congress, we were fortunate to have a really engaging selection of speakers talking about leucocyte trafficking, with a focus on responses to infection.  Thanks to all the speakers, you were truly inspirational a...

Daniella has made a fantastic contribution to the life of VHIT over past three years. Her work has helped transform our understanding of how mosquito saliva modulates host mammalian responses to infection. She will be greatly missed as she starts a new adventure at the...

This is a great chance to combine virology + immunology to discover how arboviruses cause disease. Click on the picture for more details and to apply. But please do get in touch if you any queries or just fancy a chat about the project 😀 

Daniella has spent three amazing years as a PhD student at VHIT. On Saturday we all got together at group leader Clive's house, shared some food and drinks and had great time! Daniella has done some truly amazing work, researching how factors in mosquito saliva modulat...

So happy to see our PhD student Daniella present her work with such eloquence at The Young microbiologist of the year award. Standards were very high and it was great to see such emerging talent in UK microbiology research.
