Supervisors: Dr ,N Naish, Prof J Gutierrez-Marcos

23 November 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Deciphering and Engineering Bacterial Natural-Product Biosynthesis

University of Warwick

Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership

Bacteria produce a remarkable diversity of molecules with antibiotic, anticancer and other therapeutic activities, but we still lack a detailed understanding of how many natural products are made and recognised by their biological targets. Read more

Supervisors: Dr L Alkhalaf, Prof G Challis

23 November 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

AI-Guided Discovery of Immunotherapy Resistance Mechanisms

University of Southampton

Faculty of Medicine
