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
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

How do metals cross the bacterial outer membrane?
The micronutrients iron, zinc, copper, cobalt, and manganese play essential roles in the biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorus [1], and ensuring sufficiently high metal quotas is especially critical for photosynthetic organisms. Read more
Through the looking-glass; dissecting the regulatory features of 5′ UTRs and investigating the role of leaderless mRNAs in Streptomyces
Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression is an essential strategy by which organisms respond rapidly to environmental change. Read more
Unravelling the molecular biology of UTI phage cocktails
Project highlights. Identifying phage receptor binding proteins that allow clinically useful phages to bind to their bacterial hosts. Read more

Determining the importance of lipid remodelling in the rhizosphere bacteria
Maintaining an adequate food supply for a growing population in the face of emerging global crises presents one of the great challenging of the 21st Century. 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

Elucidating and exploiting molecular mechanisms of bacterial natural product biosynthesis
This project is available through the MIBTP programme. The successful applicant will join the MIBTP cohort and will take part in all of the training offered by the programme. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Exploiting interkingdom bacterial- fungal chemical signaling to tackle antimicrobial resistant fungi
Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) remain an unresolved clinical issue that significantly impacts patients’ lives and global economies. Read more
Saving the planet through carbon recycling: engineering bacterial capture of gasified waste for bioplastics production
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
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
Silver ion-based antimicrobials: mechanisms of toxicity and resistance
The emergence and persistence of bacterial strains with resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics has led to renewed interest in the antimicrobial properties of silver ions. 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
Unlocking the relationship between host metal distribution and pathogen phenotype in tuberculosis
Research Group:
Biochemistry
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) is the leading cause of death by a bacterial pathogen, with 1.5 million deaths estimated in 2020. Read more
