Clinical Gastroenterology: Investigation of Fidaxomicin Resistance Mechanisms in Clostridium difficile
Clostridium difficile is a leading pathogen in healthcare-associated diarrheal infections. C. difficile has a plastic genome with multiple mobile genetic elements and recognized capacity to acquire genes involved in resistance and virulence. Read more
MSc by Research: Combatting Antifungal Resistance: Is the chromatin remodeller SWI/SNF an attractive therapeutic target?
Fungi infect billions of people around the world each year. Candida glabrata is one of the most common causes of fungal infections. Read more
Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT): Investigation of the role in acquired drug resistance in colon cancer
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Despite treatment advances, one of the most common cancers, colorectal cancer (CRC), still has a 45% mortality rate, and one of the major problems is the build-up of resistance to cancer drugs during treatment (‘acquired resistance’) such that over time the drugs stop working. Read more
Understanding the role of rodent niche in dissemination of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance
Project Overview. Rats and mice are one of the most prolific and widespread wildlife species. Read more
Investigating the mechanisms of antibacterial action of silver and copper ions and nanoparticles, and the emerging threat of metal-ion resistance
Project Overview. The emergence of bacterial strains with resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics has led to renewed interest in the antimicrobial properties of metals including silver. Read more

Relationship between antibiotic therapy and development of antimicrobial resistance in patients with bronchiectasis and COPD
To decrease the risk of acute infective exacerbations or flare-ups of their condition, individuals with bronchiectasis and COPD are frequently prescribed long-term oral and inhaled antibiotics. Read more
Membrane protein efflux pump dynamics in biofilm formation and multidrug resistance
Membrane protein efflux pumps can expel a broad range of toxic substances out of bacteria which significantly contributes to multidrug resistance against functionally diverse antimicrobial drugs and biofilm formation. Read more
The role of efflux pumps in antibiotic resistance
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in antibiotic resistance to join the research team led by Dr Jessica Blair. Read more
The role of environmental fluoroquinolone contamination on development of antimicrobial resistance in Campylobacter jejuni in poultry
Campylobacter is an important human gastrointestinal pathogen, which is gaining resistance to fluoroquinolone antibiotics, which are regarded as critically important by the World Health Organisation. Read more
Smart control of crop diseases: how can we best combine fungicides and plant resistance genes?
This project would suit a student interested in combining experimentation in the field with mathematical and computational modelling of agri-food biosystems. Read more
Using synthetic biology to understand the evolution of antibiotic resistance
Imagine an architect, tasked with converting an old stadium into a building with a different function, without demolishing it. Read more
