Primary career market: Public Sector, Education & Impact (occupation evidence). Institute of Veterinary and Animal Sciences are offering a PhD fellowship in immunology using zebrafish as a model commencing 1 January 2027 or after agreement. The project is part of the research project Decoding innate immune signatures driving trained and adaptive immunity in fish using a high-resolution in vivo and in vitro zebrafish model, which is financed by the Independent Research Foundation Denmark. The project The project investigates how the innate immune system of fish contributes to protection against infectious diseases. While fish have traditionally been considered to rely primarily on innate immunity, recent evidence suggests that they can also develop trained immunity – a form of innate immune memory that can provide enhanced protection following subsequent infections. Using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model, the project will investigate how neutrophils and macrophages respond to different infectious stimuli and how these responses shape both trained and adaptive immunity1 …
