This exciting fully funded PhD is sponsored by EPSRC and UK water utilities, with a stipend of £18,000 per annum (plus fees). This project will deliver strategies to eliminate the emerging contaminants (e.g. Read more
Vaccines and antibiotics have been at the forefront in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. However, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Read more
In recent years occurrence of antibiotics in aquatic systems has attracted significant attention, particularly in rivers which receive sewage treatment effluent where they have been found to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms, albeit in trace amounts. Read more
Application accepted for either MSc by Research or PhD. The resistance of bacteria to antibiotics is a massive issue facing mankind, that threatens our ability to control infectious disease. Read more
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a grave threat to public health causing 50000 deaths per year in the US and Europe alone. With virtually no new antibiotic classes created in the new millennia, identifying novel strategies to preserve and extend the useful life of existing antibiotics has therefore become a priority. Read more
The emergence of bacteria that are resistant to available antibiotics represents an enormous and growing global threat requiring new targets and strategies to combat infection. Read more
Supervisory Team: Nick Evans, Sumeet Mahajan, Seung Lee, Tracey Newman. Project description. Many bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics, and so new treatments and strategies are required. Read more
Antibiotics are becoming less effective because of resistance developed by bacteria. We aim to combat antibiotic resistance by developing better ways to use existing antibiotics. Read more

This project is focused on the formulation, synthesis, and biopharmaceutical characterisation of novel pro-antibiotics for improved oral bioavailability. Read more
Growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major global challenges and is linked to the use of unnecessarily high doses of orally administered antibiotics following medical surgery and infections. Read more
Antibiotics make possible the treatment and cure of life-threatening bacterial infections. Since their introduction in the middle years of the 20th Century, they have added ~10 years to the human lifespan, and have become a cornerstone of modern medicine. Read more
Research interests/description of main research theme. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major crisis for human medicine. Globally, untreatable bacterial infections are rapidly increasing, leaving us with limited treatment options. Read more
We recently discovered that bacteria can resist antibiotics by mechanisms operating extracellularly in response to near-lethal antibiotic concentrations. Read more
