4-year PhD Studentship: Exploiting interkingdom bacterial- fungal chemical signaling to tackle antimicrobial resistant fungi
Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) remain an unresolved clinical issue that significantly impacts patients’ lives and global economies. Read more
The genetic and/or epigenetic nature of antifungal drug tolerance in Candida glabrata
To establish the molecular basis of antifungal drug tolerance in the human yeast pathogen Candida glabrata. Pathogenic fungi from the Candida genus are obligate human commensals, which cause disease when host immune systems are compromised. Read more
MSc by Research: Mapping the host response to fungal pathogens
Fungal pathogens represent a significant clinical problem for which treatment options remain limited. Read more
Investigation of volatile signalling molecules from interactions between Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans in lung infection
Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans are commensal microbes which can become pathogenic and cause serious illness, especially in hospitalised patients. Read more

Investigating the role of food as a vehicle for microbial transmission and antimicrobial resistance genes.
Research Group:
Safeguarding Health through Infection Prevention
Reference. SHLS20067. The emergence of infectious diseases impacts a significant socio-economic burden on global economies and public health. Read more
Understanding the commensal-to-pathogen transition – environmental cues and signalling cascades
Summary. The yeast Candida albicans is a common commensal of the human gastrointestinal tract. Using a combination of microbiology, molecular biology, protein biochemistry and proteomics methods, this project aims to define the role of a Hsp90 phospho-switch . Read more
How does Aspergillus fumigatus activate the inflammasome?
Invasive fungal infections are a major cause of mortality, with more people dying from the ten main invasive fungal diseases than from tuberculosis or malaria. Read more
Towards the development of a novel class of broad-spectrum anti-infective drugs
Through exceptionally strong research collaborations at the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine, we have applied innovative thinking to the field of (Minor Groove Binders) MGBs to develop a novel platform for drug discovery with the potential to treat an impressive range of diseases, including bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral infections.
