MSc (Research) Microbiology in Glasgow United Kingdom | University of Glasgow

Our research focuses on how bacterial pathogens interact with their hosts at mucosal surfaces. We investigate critical bacterial virulence factors and host immune responses that determine disease outcomes. Through animal models and human studies, we work to create improved treatments and preventive vaccines against infections.
The rise of antibiotic resistance presents a serious global health crisis, making the development of innovative approaches to fight bacterial infections one of today's most crucial scientific priorities. The School of Infection and Immunity's microbiology research emphasizes understanding bacterial disease mechanisms at the molecular level to create new therapeutic solutions. Research projects may involve various human pathogens responsible for community and healthcare-associated infections, as well as economically significant animal pathogens.
