Nature-based solutions: reducing the environmental impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and antibiotics in constructed wetlands for sewage treatment PhD
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
Antimicrobial drug development: Synthesis, characterisation, and evaluation of novel antimicrobial agents to combat antimicrobial resistance.
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
The use of exposure models to determine pharmaceutical usage data from measured environmental concentrations
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
Self-funded project: The role of peptide transporters in intrinsic resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics
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
Intra-intestinal inactivation of residual antibiotics as a promising approach to fight against antimicrobial resistance.
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.

Novel single-cell omics and microfluidics approaches to tackle antimicrobial resistance, [Biosciences] – PhD (Funded)
Location. Living Systems Institute, Streatham Campus, Exeter. Read more
Elucidating the mechanisms of outer membrane biogenesis in Gram-negative bacteria
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

Targeted nanoparticles for high-dose intracellular delivery of antibiotics
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
Targeted delivery of antibiotics using proteins that bind to bacterial biofilms
Research Group:
School of Chemistry
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
Formulation and biopharmaceutical characterisation of novel pro-antibiotics for improved oral permeability
Research Group:
Medicines Development and Pharmaceutical Sciences
This project is focused on the formulation, synthesis, and biopharmaceutical characterisation of novel pro-antibiotics for improved oral bioavailability. Read more
Nanoparticle delivery of antibiotics for treatment of pulmonary infection
In respiratory diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and COPD, the lungs are colonized by diverse polymicrobial bacterial communities. Read more
Biodegradable composite materials (Bio-PolyMOFs) for applications in targeted delivery of drugs to improve healthcare and reduce antimicrobial resistance in developing countries and worldwide
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
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
Towards new antibacterial drugs to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria: identification and characterization of novel natural product antibiotics
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
Characterising the impact of the microbiome on AMR gene transmission
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
Bacterial lipocalins: Novel role in bacterial protection against antibiotic-induced membrane lipid peroxidation
We recently discovered that bacteria can resist antibiotics by mechanisms operating extracellularly in response to near-lethal antibiotic concentrations. Read more
