We have 338 bacterial PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

NERC E4 Predicting and quantifying bacterial population responses to antibiotic treatment

  Research Group: Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Summary. Bacterial ecological interactions impact the outcome of antibiotic treatment. This project uses mathematical modelling and experiments to investigate bacterial population dynamics. Read more

The impact of bacterial metabolism on successful bacteriophage infection

Bacteriophages, or phages are bacterial viruses and the most abundant and diverse biological entities on Earth. Throughout the biosphere they outnumber their bacterial hosts by at least 10 to 1 and strikingly, most of the functions of most genes encoded by phages remains unknown. Read more

Natural products in bacterial physiology and chemical interaction

Microbial natural products have diverse chemical structures and bioactivities, which range from cell-cell signalling, nutrient acquisition, antifungal and antibacterial activity to stress resistance (1). Read more

4-year PhD Studentship: Towards Accurate Disease Surveillance: Deep Learning-Assisted Simulation of Bacterial Genomes

Public health surveillance programmes routinely collect vast amounts of pathogen genomics data each year. A pressing issue is how to best utilise this information for effective disease monitoring and management. Read more

Metabolite profiling and bacterial community structures in polymicrobial infections

Additional Supervisor. Dr Freya Harrison, University of Warwick. This project seeks to understand how bacterial pathogens from polymicrobial infections interact with each other and how these interactions shape infection progress and outcome. Read more

Studying bacterial evolution with mathematical models and experiments

  Research Group: Institute of Ecology & Evolution
We are recruiting a PhD student to join our interdisciplinary research group, using theoretical and experimental approaches to study microbial population dynamics and evolution (https://www.ed.ac.uk/biology/groups/alexander). Read more

Host-pathogen interactions of bacterial membrane proteins

In this age of increasing antimicrobial resistance, bacterial infections remain a major global health burden. During infection, bacterial pathogens deliver virulence proteins into the host cells. Read more

4-year PhD Studentship: Combatting bacterial zoonoses through multi-disciplinary studies of virulence factors

Vector-borne diseases, including bacterial zoonoses, pose a significant threat to human and animal health and to livestock industries, particularly in low and middle-income countries. Read more

Optimizing phage-antibiotic-synergies to kill bacterial pathogens

Phage therapy, the use of viruses that only infect bacterial cells and kill them, is a promising potential solution to the antimicrobial resistance crisis that is threatening modern medicine1. Read more
