  Engineering Actinobacteria to enhance natural product biosynthesis
University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology
  Dr H O'Hare
Application Deadline: 6 January 2019
The Actinobacteria are important producers of approved drugs (>$1 billion dollars in 2016) but low yields of most natural products are a significant barrier to drug discovery, development and commercialisation.

  4 Year Wellcome Trust PhD Programme: Characterisation of the Group A Carbohydrate biosynthesis machinery
University of Dundee School of Life Sciences
  Dr H Dorfmueller
Application Deadline: 14 December 2018
The Group A Carbohydrate (GAC) is a virulence factor from the human exclusive pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes, which causes a range of diseases, ranging from mild tonsillitis to severe and life-threatening and lethal diseases, such as toxic shock syndrome.

  Structure, Function and Biogenesis of the Mycobacterial Cell Wall
University of Birmingham School of Biosciences
  Prof G Besra
Applications accepted all year round
There has been no significant decrease in worldwide mortality due to tuberculosis (TB) since before the time of Koch; the advent of sanatoria and chemotherapy, which drastically reduced TB in the more developed countries, has had no profound effect on the global problem.

  MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Understanding the molecular pathophysiology of stress on the developing and adult brain
University of Sheffield MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership
  Dr N Krone, Dr V T Cunliffe
Application Deadline: 21 January 2019
Stress is associated with significant morbidity including depression and anxiety. Activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis leads to synthesis of cortisol, which is a key mediator of the pathology of chronic stress.
