Eavesdropping on bacterial conversations: are bacterial signal molecules a universal cue for the recruitment of benthic organisms in the sea? (TAITPPML19ARIES)

University of Plymouth
Faculty of Science and Engineering

Dr K Tait

Application Deadline: 8 January 2019

Scientific background. Currently, many anti-foulants are toxic chemicals which have wider implications for the health of marine communities.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Tracking bacterial porin switching

University College London
The London Interdisciplinary Biosciences Consortium (LIDo)

Dr G Wagner, Dr S Barry

Application Deadline: 11 January 2019

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major healthcare challenges of the 21st century. It has been estimated that AMR will lead to >10 million deaths per year and >100 trillion USD in lost economic output by 2050, if no immediate action is taken [1].

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Experimental evolution of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in media replicating the conditions of the upper and lower airways

University of Liverpool
Institute of Infection and Global Health

Dr D Neill, Dr J Fothergill

Application Deadline: 20 January 2019

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) is an important bacterial pathogen in people with cystic fibrosis and other chronic lung conditions. During early infection, Pa adapts to the environment of the respiratory tract, leading to long-lasting, difficult to treat infections.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Investigating the effect of nanoscale vibration cues on material surfaces for preventing bacterial adhesion

University of Birmingham
School of Chemical Engineering

Dr P Mendes, Dr T Overton

Applications accepted all year round

All organisms respond to vibration, and bacteria are no exception. It is well established that external vibration can affect bacterial phenotypes, including surface adhesion, proliferation and virulence.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Discovery of novel virulence factors from intracellular bacterial pathogens

University of Nottingham
School of Life Sciences

Dr A Huett

Applications accepted all year round

Secreted bacterial effector proteins allow bacterial pathogens to manipulate, subvert and invade host cells to establish and maintain an intracellular niche.
