UKRI BBSRC NEEDL NLD: Myco-membrane physics: Mechanical properties of a unique bacterial outer membrane

Newcastle University
Faculty of Medical Sciences Graduate School
Bacteria are under pressure. A lot of pressure. In fact, the inside of bacteria is so densely packed with biomolecules that some species are under more than 30 atmospheres of pressure pushing outward! To prevent themselves from exploding, bacteria build a rigid structure around themselves called the cell envelope. Read more

UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: Closed-loop modulation of stage III retinal waves: do spontaneous glutamatergic activity patterns shape receptive fields inside the retina?

Northumbria University
BBSRC NEEDL DLA Partnership
The host University for this PhD project is Northumbria. Weeks before birth, the retina—the light-sensitive tissue in our eyes—generates its own spontaneous activity. Read more

Investigating the molecular grammar of biomolecular condensates through single-molecule biophysics

Durham University
Department of Biosciences
Many cell types exhibit liquid-like biomolecular condensates (https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aaf4382), however, the interplay between their assembly, “molecular grammar” by which the sequences, structures and interactions of biomolecules determine and the microenvironment assemble into condensates govern the resulting functional properties remains a fascinating mystery.

EastBio: Bet-hedging bacteria: computational modelling of RNA repair and antibiotic survival

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Bacterial cells rarely behave identically, even within a genetically uniform population. This variability underlies heteroresistance, where some cells resist antibiotics better than others despite being genetically identical, allowing infections to persist and relapse. Read more

Using super-resolution microscopy to investigate the mechanistic principles of bacterial cell wall remodelling

University of Warwick
Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership
Bacteria are encased by a peptidoglycan cell wall which is essential for their survival. During cell growth and division, nanoscale cell wall synthesis proteins must accurately build and remodel a structure more than 100x their size. Read more
