  The potential of natural phage communities in biofilm degradation
University of Warwick School of Life Sciences
  Research Group: CENTA - Central England NERC Training Alliance
  Dr E Jameson, Dr F Harrison
Application Deadline: 21 January 2019
Project Highlights. Examine the structure of phage communities from a range of environments with metagenome sequencing. Construct a synthetic model biofilm in the laboratory, which is representative of waste water treatment biofouling.

  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.

  Structural and time-resolved studies of phage replication in bacterial biofilm
Masaryk University CEITEC
  Dr P Plevka
Application Deadline: 3 February 2019
When Staphylococcus aureus cells form a biofilm in the human body they become shielded from the immune system and highly resistant to antibiotics.

  Modelling of biofilm inception
Loughborough University Department of Mathematics
  Dr M Mazza, Prof A Archer
Application Deadline: 15 February 2019
The vast majority of microorganisms do not live in isolation, but rather in consortia called biofilms. Biofilms are cities of microorganisms, which are organized to optimize their growth and function.

  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.
