Molecular basis and ecological significance of Saccharomyces wine yeast interactions with microbes, plants and insects
This research involving Saccharomyces cerevisiae provides an excellent training that will equip the graduate with highly transferable skills, relevant in other ‘yeast’ labs or biological systems. Read more
Biology and genetics of reproduction in filamentous fungi
Fungi have beneficial but also detrimental properties. They are used for the production of foodstuffs and valuable pharmaceuticals and enzymes. Read more
Breeding Better Biocontrols: Genomic approaches for strain improvement of hyphal-parasitic fungi
Fungal pathogens are responsible for up to 16% of global crop losses, acting both pre-harvest and post-harvest as well as through mycotoxin contamination. Read more
(MRC DTP) Death during fungal infection: to die or not to die, that is the question.
Respiratory infections caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses rank fourth in the global causes of death according to the World Health Organisation. Read more
Investigating the impact of epigenetic modifiers, a new treatment for cancer, on fungal pathogens. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2025/26
Project Summary. Fungal pathogens threaten our health and kill over a million patients worldwide. In this project, we will deploy cutting-edge epigenetics research and medical microbiology to better understand how pathogenic fungi respond to anti-cancer drugs. Read more
Cryo-EM structures of GPCRs from pathogenic fungi
Pathogenic fungi are responsible for about 1.5 million deaths worldwide per annum and fungi also cause the spoilage of about 25% of the world’s crops. 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
MSc By Research: Resistance isn’t futile: Uncovering novel mechanisms of fungal drug resistance
The MSc by Research programme at the University of Aberdeen is for students interested in a research-intensive master's degree. It is designed specifically to enhance your skills for a PhD or research career. Read more
Developing novel treatments for invasive fungal infections
Invasive Fungal Infections. Invasive fungal infections, such as those caused by the fungi Candida, are an increasing global public health concern. Read more
PhD in Chemistry: Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of molecules to tackle invasive fungal infections
Fungal infections are a major threat to public health as they are becoming increasingly resistant to treatment. Only four classes of antifungals are available, with few candidates in the clinical pipeline. Read more
The impact of nutritional scavenging on host-pathogen interactions, antifungal efficacy and emergence of antifungal resistance
Infections caused by Aspergillus fumigatus (Af) cause more deaths globally than any other fungal disease. Over 20 million are affected annually with four million having life threatening invasive and chronic infections with high morbidity and mortality up to 90%. Read more
Using genome engineering and bioinformatics to understand heterochromatin and centromere function in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and in cancer cells
Centromeres are the DNA sequences on eukaryotic chromosomes that mediate accurate chromosome segregation at both mitotic and meiotic cell divisions. Read more
Identifying the molecular interactions that drive mucosal responses to the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus
Spores of the mould Aspergillus fumigatus cause >3,000,000 chronic and >300,000 invasive diseases annually worldwide. Invasive aspergillosis is the most fatal, with a 50% mortality rate. Read more
(MRC DTP) Identifying the molecular interactions that drive mucosal responses to the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus
Spores of the mould Aspergillus fumigatus cause >3,000,000 chronic and >300,000 invasive diseases annually worldwide. Invasive aspergillosis is the most fatal, with a 50% mortality rate. Read more
Biochemical and structural studies of yeast telomerase complexes
The ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes are typically composed of tandem G-rich repeats, which play a crucial role in attracting telomeric protein factors to assemble large nucleoprotein structures known as telomeres. Read more
