Meningococcal meningitis – University of Bristol
PhD student Mia Dierks will investigate the impact of temperature and humidity on the survival of meningococcal bacteria in respiratory droplets to help improve vaccine development and modify infection control procedures, which could reduce the survival and transmission rates of airborne bacteria.
Current research projects
We are proud to be funding several projects across the UK. These projects aim to increase understanding of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of meningitis and meningococcal septicaemia
