The human body is host to trillions of microorganisms collectively referred to as the microbiome. A healthy microbiome is thought to be essential for human health, as disruption to the balance of the microbiome is associated with a wide range of diseases, and there are also changes associated with age.

The impact of the gut microbiome on human health has demanded increasing attention in recent years. It is associated with myriad disease states, including diabetes, dementia, cardiorespiratory conditions, and many cancers. Read more
Cutting-edge research is highlighting how important the human microbiome is for health. As fundamental science characterizing the complex functions and processes of microbes emerges, many opportunities for microbiome-targeted therapeutics are being presented. Read more
Infection following kidney transplant surgery represents an important healthcare problem, with colonisation of medical devices such as ureteric stents of particular concern. Read more
This project will be undertaken in collaboration with Frontier Therapeutics Ltd and will involve a minimum 3-month placement based at the Industry Partner's premises. Read more
Mutations are fundamental for adaptation, evolution and antimicrobial resistance. Rok’s previous work shows that high-density microbial populations have lower mutation rates, a phenomenon dubbed density-associated mutation rate plasticity (DAMP) (1,2). Read more
The project. Blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides) is Western Europe’s most problematic weed. The strong selective pressures imposed by modern agriculture have sculpted blackgrass biology to such an extent that it is found almost exclusively within agricultural fields. Read more
Join the Tanaka group in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London, as a PhD student and be a part of the Centre for Holobiont Research. Read more
From the human gut to deep-sea sediments, microbial communities – or microbiomes – colonize virtually every habitat on earth. These microbiomes are central to ecosystem functioning and to host health, and therefore it is essential that we understand how and why they change over time. Read more
People with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) harbour chronic lung infections caused by a variety of bacterial pathogens. In the CF airway, mucus accumulates in the lungs potentiating the development of a taxonomically diverse lung microbiome. Read more
