Mechanistic understanding and drivers to anti-biofilm benefits in complex microbial models using a novel anti-biofilm technology
Microorganisms contained within a biofilm are much more resistant to desiccation, mechanical removal and the action of biocides and detergents. Read more
Elucidating the Molecular Mechanisms of Action and Resistance of Microbes to Anti-biofilm Lactam Technology
Delivering hygiene solutions around the home and in diverse commercial settings is increasingly problematic, particularly where surfaces are continuously challenged by microbial contamination and particularly by biofilm formation. Read more
Antibiotic Resistance and Biofilm Formation in Clinical Isolates of Enterococcus faecium – a WHO High Priority Pathogen
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
PhD studentship: Modelling pathogen and biofilm behaviour within drinking water distribution systems
PhD studentship. Modelling pathogen and biofilm behaviour within drinking water distribution systems. Enhanced 3.5 year tax-free enhanced stipend of £20,000 per year and (home) tuition fees. Read more
EPSRC PhD Studentship in: Investigating the impact of biofilms on drinking water microbial compliance
The University of Sheffield, Sheffield Water Centre in collaboration with Severn Trent Water, Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water, Scottish Water and the Centre for Doctoral Training in Water Infrastructure and Resilience. Read more
Membrane protein efflux pump dynamics in biofilm formation and multidrug resistance
Membrane protein efflux pumps can expel a broad range of toxic substances out of bacteria which significantly contributes to multidrug resistance against functionally diverse antimicrobial drugs and biofilm formation. Read more

Real-time integrated diagnosis and antimicrobial resistance profiling of infection by Raman spectroscopy and machine learning
This project will advance the development of Raman spectroscopy and Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) as a diagnostic tool for infection and biofilm, and as a research tool to investigate polymicrobial interactions and responses to antibiotic treatment. Read more
Engineering 3D biofilms for sustainable wastewater management
Water pollution from untreated wastewater is a big challenge across many countries. This is partly because centralised wastewater treatment networks are expensive to install and are energy intensive. Read more
Develop novel biomimetic antibiofilm surfaces for medical implants
It is estimated that biofilm infections cost about $94 billion p.a. in the United States healthcare system. Read more

Investigation of genes responsible for quorum sensing in biofilm for adhesion, invasion, and proliferation in Salmonella enterica serovars
The School of Life Sciences at the University of Westminster is pleased to offer a self-funded opportunity for a prospective PhD researcher starting in September 2023. Read more

Effect of biofilm formation on multiphase flow and wetting properties during cyclic injection of hydrogen in rocks
Among various renewable energy options, hydrogen (H. 2. ) is currently receiving significant attention, and is likely to form a major asset of the UK’s economy. Read more
Long-term experimental evolution of a mixed species bacterial biofilm community
The Australian Institute for Microbiology & Infection (AIMI) at UTS is offering a PhD Scholarship for one domestic student to work on a funded project. Read more
3-year PhD studentship: 3D printing in vitro models to understand the impact of the bacterial biofilm/host environment on the effectiveness of antimicrobials in cystic fibrosis - (ENG 1624)
Supervisors. Professor Miguel Camara (School of Life Sciences), Professor Ricky Wildman (Faculty of Engineering), Professor Felicity Rose (School of Pharmacy) and Dr Helen Barr (Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust). Read more
Regulation of virulence and biofilm formation by quorum sensing and the "stress alarmone" ppGpp in gram-negative pathogenic bacteria.
We are investigating the complex interplay between cell-cell signalling (quorum sensing), microbial lifestyle (i.e., free-living planktonic cultures vs sessile biofilm communities), growth phase and virulence in gram-negative bacteria. Read more
Cold Plasmas for Enhancement of Intracellular Delivery of Macromolecules
Cold plasmas are partially or completely ionised gases which are generated at or near ambient temperatures. Read more
