  Decoding microbial ‘cross talk’ in polymicrobial infections
University of Bristol Faculty of Health Sciences
  Dr N Bandara, Dr A Nobbs
Applications accepted all year round
A significant proportion of human infections are caused by microbial pathogens. These organisms interact socially to build highly organized, well-coordinated, hierarchical structures known as biofilms.

  Proteins in the biofilm matrix
University of Dundee School of Life Sciences
  Dr N Stanley-Wall
Application Deadline: 14 December 2018
Biofilm formation is the process by which single celled microbes form an adherent community. Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive bacterium that lives in the soil and can form biofilms on the roots of plants.

  Mechanisms of Streptococcus biofilm and community development
University of Bristol Faculty of Health Sciences
  Dr A Nobbs
Applications accepted all year round
Streptococcus bacteria are opportunistic pathogens and ubiquitous colonisers of the human oral cavity and mucosae. They are often prominent members of the resident microbiota at these sites, reflecting their evolutionary adaptation to successful colonisation of their ecological niche.

  Biofilm Engineering for Healthcare Applications
University of Sheffield Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering
  Dr AF Taylor, Dr E Karunakaran
Applications accepted all year round
Biofilms are communities of microorganisms bound to surfaces by a layer of glue-like extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). They can be found virtually everywhere, from water pipes and food packaging to medical devices and human tissues.
