Characterisation of a novel interferon in the pathogenesis and treatment of endometriosis
Project description
Endometriosis is a chronic disease characterised by growth of cells in ectopic locations and chronic inflammation.
This project looks to
- Characterise a novel interferon in the pathogenesis of disease and
- Determine whether IFN can be used as a therapeutic for endometriosis.
This project utilises both in vitro and in vivo models of endometriosis and will include techniques such as tissue/cell culture, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, PCR, bioinformatics.
This project can be adapted for BSc Hons, MSc and PhD.
