FIND-BACT Study: Finding INnovative Diagnostics for BACTerial infections in children
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
Detecting bacterial infection in children is very challenging, particularly in previously well children presenting to the Emergency department (ED) with fever as well as in children with chronic illnesses, such as those with cystic fibrosis (CF). 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
Understanding and eradicating antibiotic tolerant bacterial pathogens
Antibiotics frequently fail to clear infections even when the bacterial pathogen is not resistant. Read more
PhD Position: Discovery and characterization of novel prophages within human gut microbiome
A PhD position is available to work with A/Prof. Jeremy J Barr at Monash University, School of Biological Sciences, in Melbourne, Australia. Read more
The evolution of antibiotic tolerant Staphylococcus aureus cell types during long term colonisation developing into diabetes foot infection.
CONTEXT. Overview of the project. Patients with diabetes have a high risk of a foot ulcer or foot infection. These often re-occur and become chronic. 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
Diagnostics for FMF patients and carrier survival in pandemics
Background. Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a rare inherited genetic disease where patients acquire a mutation on the pyrin gene leading to excessive inflammasome activation and excessive inflammation. Read more
Understanding the evolution of gene regulatory networks through biophysical modelling and machine learning
The ability to coordinate the expression of genes within a cell is at the heart of life. When and how much of a specific gene is turned into a protein is essential for organisms to respond to their environment and to manage resources. Read more
The biology of plasmids in human adapted pathogens
Plasmids are extrachromosomal elements in bacteria that confer virulence and resistance against antimicrobials. In the host adapted pathogens, Shigella and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, plasmids have established long evolutionary links with the bacterial species. Read more
Rhomboid-like proteins: from mechanisms to human disease
We study membrane proteins and how they control signalling and cellular responses to stress. Read more
Evaluating the epidemiology, genetic basis and molecular evolution of antibiotic resistance in the African nation of Cabo Verde
Antibiotic resistance (AbR) in bacteria has become a global health emergency. Just in 2019 alone, AbR has caused 1.27 million deaths and was associated indirectly with other 4.95 million deaths1. Read more
