Elucidating and exploiting molecular mechanisms of bacterial natural product biosynthesis
This project is available through the MIBTP programme. The successful applicant will join the MIBTP cohort and will take part in all of the training offered by the programme. Read more
Towards new antibacterial drugs to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria: identification and characterization of novel natural product antibiotics
Antibiotics make possible the treatment and cure of life-threatening bacterial infections. Since their introduction in the middle years of the 20th Century, they have added ~10 years to the human lifespan, and have become a cornerstone of modern medicine. Read more

Natural Product Synthesis
Project Summary. This PhD studentship will be focused on the biomimetic total synthesis of complex natural products. The chemical feasibility of proposed biosynthetic pathways towards biologically active diterpene structures will be investigated. Read more
Identification and characterisation of natural products from fungal non-reducing NRPS-like enzymes
Project Overview. Fungi are a treasure chest of yet unexplored natural products. Read more

Asymmetric Diene Transmissive Pericyclic Reactions of Dendralenes
Polycyclic structures are ubiquitous in the natural product arena and are the core structural units of many natural product-based pharmaceuticals. Read more
Design and Synthesis of novel analogues of Hipposudoric Acid for therapeutic use
Research into novel antimicrobial agents has never been more pressing with the ever-increasing resistance towards traditional medications. Read more
Total Synthesis of Decalin-Containing Natural Products
Bacterial infections are becoming increasingly hard to treat with current antibiotics and it is well recognised that new treatments are required. Read more
Probing enzyme reaction cascades in antibiotic biosynthesis at atomic resolution by NMR
Polyketide biosynthetic pathways generate vast numbers of diverse compounds that represent one of the largest collections of chemical structures with biological… Read more
Discovery of novel pharmaceuticals from marine and desert microorganisms
Microorganisms from extreme environments such as the deep seas, cold seas and hyper arid deserts have been shown to produce a range of complex natural products with high biological activity. Read more

Genome mining of novel antimicrobial and antiviral natural products from new bacterial strains
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is rising to dangerously high levels in all parts of the world. In Europe alone, drug-resistant bacteria are estimated to cause 25,000 deaths annually and cost more than US$1.5 billion every year in healthcare expenses and productivity losses. Read more
A biomimetic approach to peroxide-derived polyketide synthesis
Loughborough University has seen 94% of our research impact rated as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, underlining the wide-ranging positive impacts that our research has on the world (REF, 2021). Read more
