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
Embedded bacterial 3D printing for synthetic biomaterial screening and production
Synthetic biology and chemistry are new approaches to engineer new biomaterials with customizable functional properties. An area of active research using such approaches is to engineer bacterial cellulose, a class of biomaterial that has broad applications in food, paper production and biomedical industries. Read more
Designing inhibitors of protein-protein interactions for bacterial cell division for specific antibiotics (BEEKMANA_U23SF)
Antibiotic-resistant pathogens are a huge threat in healthcare. The last resorts of conventional antibiotic drugs are unable to treat multi-resistant strains in patients. Read more
New endoscopic imaging instrumentation for assessing bacterial infection in tonsillitis
This project is one of 17 four year PhD Studentships funded by Medical Research Scotland (. https://www.medicalresearchscotland.org.uk. Read more
Dissection of protease signalling during bacterial infection for antibacterial drug discovery
Bacterial infections are one of the top threats to global human health. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Developing new synergistic therapies of bactericidal nanotopography and biophysical stimulation to combat AMR bacterial infections of implants
The recent WHO report (2019) on global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) highlights not only the growing issue of resistance, identifying it as one of the greatest threats we face as a global community, but also the lack of new effective options to tackle bacterial infections. Read more
Self-funded BMS project: Nutrient - Mediated Bacterial Delivery of "Dual Warhead" Antimicrobials
Microbial resistance to antibiotics has been a growing problem. Until recently, antibiotics of the fluoroquinolone-type provided some of the most active broad-spectrum antibacterial agents on the market. Read more

Eradicating bacterial biofilms
Queensland University of Technology
School of Chemistry and Physics at Queensland University of Technology
About the position: We are seeking full-time highly motivated PhD candidate to perform cutting-edge antimicrobial research commencing in 2022. Read more
To feast among the starving: computational bioenergetic modelling of Mycobacterium avium
This project seeks to advance the frontiers of bioscience discovery by improving our understanding of how thermodynamic constraints can limit bacterial adaptation to challenging environments. Read more
Interactions between the pathogenic Neisseria (N. meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae) and human cells
Neisseria meningitidis (the meningococcus) is usually a harmless commensal bacterium which colonises the human nasopharynx. As far as is known humans are its only natural reservoir. 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
