Investigating the role of the biofilm in waste water treatment plants as a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance
Ref. SHLS20023 Spencer. Background. By 2050, 10 million premature deaths could occur annually as the result of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). An important route of AMR into the environment is via the sewerage network where key control points are the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Read more

Lattice-Boltzmann, hydrodynamics/biochemistry coupled models for anaerobic digestion in wastewater treatment
Anaerobic digestion is a well-established biotechnology in wastewater treatment to treat sludge and produce green energy through methane harvesting. Read more
Nanotechnologies for cancer: developing new polymer-drug conjugates for the treatment of a range of cancers
Polymer anticancer-drug conjugates are drug delivery systems in which a low molecular weight anticancer agent is covalently conjugated to a water-soluble polymeric carrier. Read more
Wastewater sludge to hydrogen via direct biogenic electrolysis
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Wastewater sludge is the by-product of wastewater treatment plants. Currently, 13.5 million tonnes of dry sludge are produced in Europe annually, 1.5 million tonnes in the UK, and further increase has been projected with population growth. Read more

Achieving circular economy: High-value products from wastewater generated from waste biomass and plastics with bioelectrochemical systems
The urgency of tackling the grand challenges of climate change is to keep the average global temperature rise well below the 2oC target. Read more
Enzyme-responsive peptide hydrogel as in situ forming long-acting drug delivery implants
One of the key issues in the treatment and prevention of disease is that patients struggle to adhere to the complex dosage regimens of therapies, which often require multiple dosing at very specific times each day. Read more
Tracking bacterial porin switching: A chemical biology approach
The World Health Organisation (WHO) identifies antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as one of the top 10 global threats to human health (. Read more

Translational Medicine: Understanding the mechanism(s) of resistance to EPA to personalise therapy and improve outcome
Advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) is the UK’s second most lethal cancer, with limited treatment options for unresectable metastatic tumours. Read more
High-throughput discovery of novel antibiotics using synthetic microbiology
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a frequent problem in the treatment of disease caused by several clinical bacterial pathogens. In the European Union, antibiotic-resistant infections kill nearly 25,000 patients and represent a total expenditure of £1.5 billion per year. Read more
Cleaner Waste Systems through Simultaneous CO2 Capture and Utilisation
The water and wastewater sector are responsible for around 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Every day, large volumes of sludge are generated, which must be treated to reuse standard but the sector is constrained on the amount of waste it can process due to the poor biodegradability of solids.
