This field is essential for understanding how diseases emerge and spread, and for the development of effective control methods. By pursuing a PhD in this area, you’ll contribute to vital research that enhances our ability to manage and prevent diseases.IntroductionThe University of Liverpool’s Institute of Infection, Veterinary, and Ecological Sciences (IVES) brings together leading medical, veterinary and basic science researchers from across the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences.
