Unravelling the link between infection and non-communicable diseases to enable a paradigm shift in the prevention and treatment of chronic disease

More details on FindaPhD

This project aims to investigate whether exposure to specific infections across the life course contributes to the development of major chronic diseases, and whether vaccination or immune responses modify these risks. Using large-scale linked health records and cohort data (CPRD, SAIL, UK Biobank), it will systematically identify and evaluate infection-chronic disease relationships.Ting Shi and Cathie Sudlow
