PhD Studentship in Infection and Immunity - T cell immune modulation during severe bacterial infection
Project Title. T cell immune modulation during severe bacterial infection. Summary. There is no licensed vaccine against Staphylococcus aureus which produces life-threatening bloodstream infections ("bacteraemia") and has evolved antibiotic-resistant strains. Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project - Escaping host immunity: Characterising immune evasion mechanisms employed by the bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 20 studentships for entry in October 2023. Read more
Investigation of volatile signalling molecules from interactions between Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans in lung infection
Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans are commensal microbes which can become pathogenic and cause serious illness, especially in hospitalised patients. Read more
Polymeric Micro- & Nano- Bubbles for Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a bloodstream infection that has mortality rates of 17-46% and is a daily occurrence, with over 12,700 cases in England per year. Read more
Investigating the therapeutic potential of microwaves in chronic wound healing
Chronic wounds are a significant societal problem, expected to increase as the population ages and co-morbidities such as obesity and diabetes become increasingly common. Read more
Prevalence, etiology, control and prevention of clinical mastitis and associated antimicrobial use
The School of Veterinary Medicine and Science (SVMS) undertakes research on many key aspects of companion animals and livestock health and production. Read more
Developing novel microfluidic platforms for antibiotic discovery. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2023/24 Entry, PhD in Biosciences
Summary. Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most pressing public health challenges and threatens the ability to effectively fight infectious diseases, with around 10 million people predicted to die annually of infections by 2050. 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
Dissecting the molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens
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
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
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
