antibiotic PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 71 antibiotic PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Project at Queen's University Belfast: Mapping the farm-scape of antibiotic resistance: metagenomes, antibiotic resistance genes, and mobile genetic elements
Antibiotic resistance poses a significant risk to human health, as the effectiveness of antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections is increasingly compromised. Read more
One Health drivers of antibiotic resistant bacterial infections in rural Ugandan communities
Project ID. HI_8. Theme. Health Innovation. Antibiotic resistant bacterial infections are more difficult and costly to treat, with increased mortality and morbidity. Read more
Ecology of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus epidermidis: competition, selection, and transmission
Staphylococcus epidermidis is one of the most abundant commensal bacteria colonising skin and mucous membranes in humans, and has also emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen. Read more
Leveraging Machine Learning and Shotgun Metagenomics to Address Antibiotic Resistance in Environmental Microbiomes
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at the University of Reading*. Antibiotic resistance is a critical global challenge that threatens not only human health but also ecosystem stability and biodiversity. Read more
Health inequalities which impact the treatment of urinary tract infections
Project ID. HI_9. Theme. Health Innovation. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, particularly among women, primarily caused by Escherichia coli in up to 80% of UTIs, and around 50% of cases can recur and 40% lead to bloodstream infections. Read more
Development of hydrogel-coated nanogel systems for chronic skin infections
Research Group:
Biomedical Sciences
Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are among the most prevalent bacterial infections encountered in clinical practice, yet they pose significant therapeutic challenges. Read more

Understanding β-lactam antibiotic action and resistance with developments in dynamic structural biology
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
Development of a platform purification process for bacteriophages as an alternative to antibiotic
PhD Opportunity. Purification and Bioprocessing of Bacteriophages for Combatting Antibiotic Resistance. Read more
Liposomal Antibiotic for Improved Treatment of Respiratory Infection
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major global risk to human health by causing death, disability, longer hospitalisations, and increased healthcare costs. Read more
Liposomal Antibiotic for Improved Treatment of Respiratory Infection
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major global risk to human health by causing death, disability, longer hospitalisations, and increased healthcare costs. Read more
Investigating the impact of antibiotic dose on the distribution of resistance mutations
The antimicrobial resistance crisis poses one of the biggest threats to healthcare systems globally. Tackling this crisis requires better understanding of the factors that contribute to resistance evolution, especially those that can be altered or manipulated to inform treatment. Read more
Evaluating the epidemiology, genetic basis and molecular evolution of antibiotic resistance in the African nation of Cabo Verde
Antibiotic resistance (AbR) in bacteria has become a global health emergency. Just in 2019 alone, AbR has caused 1.27 million deaths and was associated indirectly with other 4.95 million deaths1. Read more
Elucidating the molecular mechanisms of intrinsic antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens
Antibiotics make possible the treatment and cure of life-threatening bacterial infections and have added over a decade to the average human lifespan. Read more

Self-Sensing Substrates for High-Throughput Antibiotic Discovery
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest threats facing humanity. In 2019, 5 million deaths were attributed to AMR, and it is projected to kill 10+ million per year by 2050. Read more
Wall Teichoic Acid biosynthesis inhibitors to fight antibiotic resistance
Background and aims. Antibiotic resistance is a growing threat to human health. In 2019, more than 1.2 million people died globally as a result of antimicrobial resistant bacterial infections; of these, more than 100,000 deaths were attributed to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
