Ecological and evolutionary strain-level dynamics of key pathogens in the cystic fibrosis lung microbiome.

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

Identify novel approaches to combat multi-drug resistant pathogens

Our research focuses on recalcitrant ESKAPE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species) pathogens. Read more

A novel peptide based approach to inhibit growth of antimicrobial resistant pathogens

Project description. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the biggest global challenges to human health in the 21st century, with the worst-case scenario development of a raft of incurable infections, especially Hospital Gram negative pathogens. Read more

Analysis of pathogen determinants recognized by the hypervariable immune receptor Dscam

Background. To mount an immune response, host organisms must first recognize the pathogen with which they are infected. The first line of defense against pathogen infection in animals is provided through the innate immune response. Read more

Broadening the spectrum of antibacterial drugs to tackle multi-drug resistant Gram-negative pathogens

  Research Group: Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology
Antibiotics make possible the treatment and cure of life-threatening bacterial infections and have added over a decade to average human lifespan. Read more

Role and mechanism of the bacterial Type VI secretion system

Many species of bacteria use a contractile nanomachine known as the Type VI secretion system (T6SS) to deliver a wide range of toxic proteins, known as ‘effectors’, directly into neighbouring cells. Read more

Structural Exploration for Antifungal Nanocarriers Development

The global burden of fungal infections is now surpassing 7 million annually, with the average mortality rate exceeding that for malaria or breast cancer (Fisher M. Read more
