About the Role
Applicants are invited to join an exciting inter-disciplinary team of clinicians and scientists working together at Queen Mary across the Centre for Bioengineering, Blizard Institute, and in Zimbabwe at the Zvitambo Institute for Maternal and Child Health Research.
This project is funded by Medical Research Council and led by Prof Andrew Prendergast who is the Director of the Zvitambo Institute for Maternal and Child Health Research in Zimbabwe and has established clinical trials to improve healthy birth and growth. You will work under the supervision of Dr Tina Chowdhury at the School of Engineering and Materials Science, who has developed 3D models to target inflammatory pathways that are common in preterm birth ).
Our goal is to better understand the pathogenesis of preterm birth which affects 13.4 million babies each year, making it the leading cause of death amongst children under five years old. You will join a transdisciplinary team of UK-Zimbabwe academics working towards understanding the complex interactions of why pregnant women who have HIV have more infections and inflammation leading to preterm birth. Zimbabwe has one of the highest global preterm birth rates (32/1000 live births). Currently, there is a paucity of clinical interventions to prevent preterm birth in women with HIV.
This project will utilize a human in vitro model representing the maternal-fetal interface to investigate the effects of HIV infection on inflammation and the types of bacteria that increases the risk of preterm birth. You will evaluate the interactions using clinical biomarkers identified during pregnancy to discover whether infection increases the inflammatory response leading to rupture and preterm birth.
About You
The candidate will have experience in infection, inflammation and mechanobiology. Cell imaging techniques include multiphoton, SAXS, or cell/molecular approaches to investigate inflammatory mechanisms in human placenta.
About the School
The Centre for Bioengineering will provide you with enthusiastic support to develop your academic career ).
