CRISPR/Cas9 probing of virulence factors in dermatophytes

One of the most widespread fungal infections affecting 20-25% of the global population is dermatophytosis. This is caused by fungi that infect the skin, nails, and hair, leading to common conditions such as athlete’s foot or ringworm. Read more

Regulation of virulence and biofilm formation by quorum sensing and the "stress alarmone" ppGpp in gram-negative pathogenic bacteria.

We are investigating the complex interplay between cell-cell signalling (quorum sensing), microbial lifestyle (i.e., free-living planktonic cultures vs sessile biofilm communities), growth phase and virulence in gram-negative bacteria. Read more

Antimicrobial resistance and gene regulation in Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli.

Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is a major cause of diarrhoeal disease in industrialized and non-industrialized countries and has been shown to be the cause of travellers’ diarrhoea and persistent diarrhoea in children and HIV patients. Read more

Host-pathogen interactions: mechanisms of bacterial effector protein interference with host cell signalling

Talented and motivated students, passionate about doing research, are invited to apply for this PhD position. The successful applicant will join the Crick PhD Programme in September 2024 and will register for their PhD at one of the Crick partner universities (Imperial College London, King’s College London or UCL).

Evolution of antimicrobial resistance in bacterial microbiomes

This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 20 studentships for entry in September 2024. Read more

Host-pathogen interactions of the Cryptosporidium parasite

Talented and motivated students, passionate about doing research, are invited to apply for this PhD position. The successful applicant will join the Crick PhD Programme in September 2024 and will register for their PhD at one of the Crick partner universities (Imperial College London, King’s College London or UCL).

Host-pathogen interactions of bacterial membrane proteins

In this age of increasing antimicrobial resistance, bacterial infections remain a major global health burden. During infection, bacterial pathogens deliver virulence proteins into the host cells. Read more
