About this position

Respiratory infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, however, important gaps remain in our understanding of their aetiology, early risk stratification, and the role of microbial communities in disease. This project will apply advanced computational methods to analyse large-scale metagenomic sequencing data from patients across the respiratory disease severity spectrum, ranging from adults presenting with respiratory symptoms in A&E to patients with severe pneumonia in intensive care. The project aims to define how the respiratory microbiome changes with disease severity. Initia
