The relationship between dietary micronutrients (e.g. iron, zinc and vitamins), and the gut microbiota: Can dietary micronutrient regime be exploited to support gut health?
The gut microbiota has a significant influence on host health, including nutrition, development of the immune system, infection… Read more
The impact of gut microbiome and diet interplay on neurodegeneration
Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or Huntington’s disease represent major health risks of ageing societies. Read more
Development of bioinks to bioprinit an in vitro model of the gut mucosa
This research aims to study the influence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on the onset of ankylosis spondylarthritis (AS) through 3D in vitro modelling of the synovium and gut, in healthy and inflamed states, assessing changes in cell phenotypes and cytokine production. Read more
Regulation of intestinal immune responses to commensal bacteria by innate lymphoid cells
Commensal bacteria present in the gastrointestinal tract provide beneficial roles for the host, such as supporting nutrient metabolism. Read more
Exploring the impact of microplastic-bacterial complexes on animal health and the gut microbiome
Plastic pollution is a global issue and rapidly emerging as a crisis for both environmental and human health. Read more
Minimising the spread of antibiotic resistance within the gut microbiome
Antibiotics are a double-edged sword. they are crucial for treating bacterial infections, but they can also cause significant collateral damage to the microbiota. Read more
Nutritional immunity: the battle for iron between host and pathogen
The innate immune defence system responds to bacterial infection by reducing the amount of available iron to restrict bacterial growth. Read more
Gut microbiome and the impact of dietary additives in dairy cows.
Hartpury University is pleased to offer this exciting project examining the relationship between the gut microbiome community and dietary interventions in cattle. This is a collaborative project with the University of Surrey and will involve some time spent in the labs at the University of Surrey. Read more
Decision-making in the intestinal immune system – what makes an oral antigen and immunogen?
The mammalian large intestine is home to several hundred bacterial species, forming the bacterial part of the intestinal microbiota, as well as being exposed to a vast array of xenoantigens via our food and to pathogenic bacteria, viruses and eukaryotic parasites. Read more
Investigating the effects of secreted microbial metabolites produced under acid conditions on colorectal cancer cell growth
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the three leading killer cancers worldwide and has a low therapeutic index of therapy. The initiation and progression of CRC is modulated by the gut microbiota and metabolites they produce. Read more
Investigating the biology and utility of Giant Viruses (Jumbo-bacteriophages). (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/Smith-Nelson)
The bacteriophage research group at Northumbria University are seeking a highly motivated and talented PhD candidates to join our team and investigate the biology and potential applications of jumbo bacteriophages. Read more
Clinical Gastroenterology: The regulation of GDH expression in Clostridioides difficile
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), the most common cause of infective antibiotic-associated diarrhea in the western world, is diagnosed by a combination of tests that firstly detect the organism, then the toxins that it produces (Planche 2013). Read more
Bowel cancer caused by bacteria
The gut microbiome has a profound effect on health and disease of humans and colorectal cancer (CRC) is one such disease influenced by microorganisms. Read more
