Multipurpose gel formulations containing antiretroviral-loaded lactoferrin nanoparticles and antibiotics for combination HIV prevention and treatment of bacterial vaginosis
Value / what is covered? . This is an exemplar PhD project co-supervised by Dr. Sheiliza Carmali (School of Pharmacy) and Prof. Read more
Smart Materials: Harnessing Sound to Combat Bacterial Growth
Background. Bacterial biofilms pose a significant challenge in healthcare and industrial settings, where they colonize surfaces such as implants, urinary catheters, food processing equipment, and pipelines. Read more
Funded PhD- Fighting back: Understanding how novel antibiotics work to kill bacterial pathogens.
Background . Antibiotics have been widely regarded as the most significant class of pharmaceuticals and their discovery and development considered one of the most important medical advancements in history. Read more
Multipurpose gel formulations containing antiretroviral-loaded lactoferrin nanoparticles and antibiotics for combination HIV prevention and treatment of bacterial vaginosis
This is an exemplar PhD project co-supervised by Dr. Sheiliza Carmali (School of Pharmacy) and Prof. Karl Malcolm (School or Pharmacy). Read more
Mapping the spread of zoonotic bacterial pathogens and their mobile genetic elements as drivers of infection
This project will work with a unique and exciting dataset from the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) where soil samples have been collected from farms across Northern Ireland. Read more
The sweet side of ‘evil twin’ sugars: using chemical glycobiology tools to explore the role bacterial sialic acids play in host immune evasion by pathogens
Sugars, or glycans as they are more commonly known, are the most abundant biomolecules on earth and play essential roles in a myriad of biological processes including energy storage, cell-cell recognition and the immunological response. Read more
Funded PhD SWBio DTP- Determining how antimicrobial polyamines kill bacterial pathogens
Project description. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been described as the silent pandemic, fuelled in part by insufficient antibiotic development. Read more
Investigating bacteria-bacteriophage diversity to develop phage libraries for treatment of bacterial infections
Project Overview. The World Health Organisation (WHO) predicts antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections will be the leading cause of death globally by 2050. Read more

Molecular mechanisms and physiological consequences of bacterial virulence proteins
Many intracellular bacterial pathogens deliver virulence (effector) proteins through dedicated secretion systems into mammalian host cells. Read more
Osteogenic and antimicrobial surfaces for dental implant with designed micro/nano-topographies
The use of dental implants has become a common treatment for the replacement of missing or damaged teeth. It is estimated that 10% of the world’s population will need a dental implant in their lifetime. Read more
Modelling stochastic emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations
Bacterial evolution of antibiotic resistance within patients can compromise the efficacy of antibiotic treatment and represents a serious threat to public health. Read more
Developing a Surface-tethered Double Membrane Model to Study Bacterial Envelope Biogenesis
Project Overview. The rise of antimicrobial resistance, particularly among Gram-negative bacteria, is a pressing global health concern. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Role and mechanism of the bacterial Type VI secretion system
Many species of bacteria use a contractile nanomachine known as the Type VI secretion system (T6SS) to deliver a wide range of toxic proteins, known as ‘effectors’, directly into neighbouring cells. Read more

LPS ubiquitylation and innate immunity
Our ability to fight infections relies not on the capacity of our professional immune system to defend our body but also on the skills of individual cells to defend themselves. Read more
Use of Short Interfering RNA to Reduce Antimicrobial Resistance in Bacterial Clinical and Veterinary Pathogens
Project ID. HI_10. Theme. Health Innovation. Antimicrobial resistance of bacterial pathogens is of increasing concern, both for human and animal pathogens. Read more
