BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science
Biomedical scientists are at the forefront of diagnosing and treating diseases. Our biomedical science degree will give you the lab and research skills to help drive modern medicine.
Biography
Jamil graduated with a master’s degree in Biochemistry and Microbiology from the University of Sheffield in 2010.
In 2014 he was awarded his PhD from the University of Sheffield where he identified how Staphylococcus aureus hijacked human macrophages in order to survive and spread to distant sites. Following this he moved to the Institut Cochin in Paris to undertake post-doctoral research, in collaboration with AstraZeneca, exploring how rhinovirus perturbed airway macrophage functions preventing their ability to control secondary bacterial infection. Dr Jubrail described new mechanisms used by rhinovirus to disrupt macrophage functions and identified for the first time key proteins targeted by the virus to affect the cell’s functions. He also implicated new cellular functions for these proteins.
He then moved to the University of Edinburgh to carry out further post-doctoral training, where he evaluated the therapeutic potential of host defence peptides and different inducers of these peptides during respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection of human epithelial cells.
In 2021 Jamil moved to Solent University to begin a new lectureship position and establish his own research group. He is also an active member within respiratory societies including the European Respiratory Society (ERS) and serves as a reviewer for the European Board for Accreditation in Pneumology (EBAP) as well as a peer reviewer for numerous journals and societies.
