Primary Supervisor - Conjugative plasmids play a crucial role in bacterial evolution as drivers of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and as a source of new genetic information. This project will provide insights into a crucial but largely un...
Are you passionate about developmental psychology and eager to contribute to cutting-edge research in social cognition? We invite applications for a fully funded PhD studentship supported by the Leverhulme Trust and supervised by Dr and Pro...
Primary Supervisor - The continued evolution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in pathogenic bacteria represents a significant threat to global health and new antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action are urgently needed. Most antibioti...
Primary Supervisor - Plants need to respond to the environment in order to adapt and grow. Plants often modify the concentration of calcium ions in their cells in response to different environmental stimuli and stresses [1]. These changes...
Primary Supervisor - This PhD studentship provides an exciting opportunity for the successful candidate to address fundamental questions on the role of mucin-derived glycans on Salmonella infection in the gut. The mucus layer in the int...
Primary Supervisor - This exciting project will engineer light-driven microreactors converting nitrate to ammonia thereby delivering proof-of-principle for a sustainable technology converting a widespread pollutant to a valuable fertilise...
Primary Supervisor - Background: Western diets rich in fats and sugars are linked to obesity and more frequent infections. In contrast, plant-based diets have been associated with increased longevity and decreased infections in the elde...
Primary Supervisor Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is an effective pathogen of humans and animals and is well known as the leading cause of often-fatal infections in newborn infants. Little is known about how GBS resists the immune system and...
Primary Supervisor - Pioneering solutions for pest insect control are urgently needed, as climate change is increasingly driving pests into new geographic areas. The student will address this critical challenge for innovative control solu...
Primary Supervisor - Bacteria have evolved the ability to produce natural products with potent bioactivities, which makes these compounds excellent candidates as medicines and agrochemicals. In particular, the majority of clinically usefu...
