E. faecium is an important human pathogen which exhibits resistance to a range of antibiotics, and is implicated in a wide variety of device associated infections. Read more
This project aims to achieve a better understanding of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) using a multidisciplinary approach centred on mathematical modelling. Read more
Many chemotherapies and intravenous feeds require central venous access to allow the infusion of high osmolality fluids which would thrombose smaller, peripheral veins. Read more
Topic. The development and use of advanced polymer chemistry designed for application in Additive Manufacturing (AM) Techniques to create of Bacterial Biofilm Resistant Surfaces. . Read more
The selection of antibiotic tolerant bacteria is of emerging concern and is thought to contribute to treatment failure. Our preliminary data supports the hypothesis that widely used biocides can promote such tolerance in the major human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus by activation of the stringent response. Read more
We need to understand microbial communities, whether in the context of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) or their key role in global carbon cycling. Read more

Project Highlights. Hone novel methods to track (real-time) and analyse microplastics. Design mesocosms to study the behaviour of microplastics in riverbed sediments. Read more
Ref. SHLS20023 Spencer. Background. By 2050, 10 million premature deaths could occur annually as the result of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). An important route of AMR into the environment is via the sewerage network where key control points are the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Read more
About the position: We are seeking full-time highly motivated PhD candidate to perform cutting-edge antimicrobial research commencing in 2022. Read more
An exciting collaborative research project between the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the Department of Global Health and Infection at the University of Sussex, UK. Read more
Sequenced genomes of mycobacteria, including the human tuberculosis causing pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis, reveal a number of genes dedicated to lipid biosynthesis and transport. Read more
Nitrogen, in the forms of ammonium and nitrates ions, is a serious problem in the UK and elsewhere in water being discharged into the environment because it can harm aquatic ecology and detrimentally affect human health. Read more
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
