Nutritional immunity: the battle for iron between host and pathogen
The innate immune defence system responds to bacterial infection by reducing the amount of available iron to restrict bacterial growth. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Splitting spores: understanding how alarmone signalling controls bacterial sporulation
Sporulation is the fascinating process by which some bacterial species can differentiate into a metabolically inert form that can survive incredibly harsh environmental conditions. Read more
Genetics underpinnings of antibiotics-phage synergy. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2024/25 Entry, PhD in Ecology and Conservation
About the GW4 BioMed2 Doctoral Training Partnership. The partnership brings together the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff (lead) and Exeter to develop the next generation of biomedical researchers. 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
MSc by Research: Understanding temperature-dependent virulence regulation in bacterial pathogens
Bacterial pathogens respond rapidly to environmental change, in ways that can influence their growth, virulence, antimicrobial resistance and, therefore, infection outcomes. Read more
The emergence of bacterial persisters and the contribution to AMR in pathogen populations
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant concern in the battle against bacterial disease. Our understanding of resistance gene occurrence and spread as contributing to AMR is significant. Read more
Decision-making in the intestinal immune system – what makes an oral antigen and immunogen?
The mammalian large intestine is home to several hundred bacterial species, forming the bacterial part of the intestinal microbiota, as well as being exposed to a vast array of xenoantigens via our food and to pathogenic bacteria, viruses and eukaryotic parasites. Read more
Transport to the bacterial outer membrane: building a barrier that confers antimicrobial resistance.
Antimicrobial resistant (AMR) micro-organisms cause a major global threat to modern medicine, contributing to almost 5 million deaths a year. Read more
Do Altered host-microbial interactions promote oral inflammation during ageing?
As we age, the systems of our bodies become less able to function; rendering people increasingly infirm. Ageing affects our immune system, impeding our ability to both fight infection and maintain tolerance. Read more
Investigating the mechanisms of antibacterial action of silver and copper ions and nanoparticles, and the emerging threat of metal-ion resistance
Project Overview. The emergence of bacterial strains with resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics has led to renewed interest in the antimicrobial properties of metals including silver. Read more
Saving the planet through carbon recycling: engineering bacterial capture of gasified waste for bioplastics production
Wider context. Climate change caused by the release of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels and through change of land use threatens life on our planet. Read more
Regulation of intestinal immune responses to commensal bacteria by innate lymphoid cells
Commensal bacteria present in the gastrointestinal tract provide beneficial roles for the host, such as supporting nutrient metabolism. Read more
Understanding disease mechanisms in autoimmune inflammatory muscle disease
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are a spectrum of rare autoimmune disorders characterized by inflammation of muscle tissue (myositis), which leads to muscle weakness and fatigue, and heterogeneous systemic organ involvement. Read more
Exploring the relationship between gut microbes, phages, metabolites and cardiometabolic health using computational methods
Metabolomics and the gut microbiome are intricately involved in the risk of metabolic diseases. Read more
MSc by Research: Context is everything – how do plants organise receptor complexes to fight pathogens and mitigate environmental stress?
Climate change is one of the biggest threats to global food production, leading to unpredictable weather patterns and geographical migration of pathogens. Read more
