Microbiology (metabolism) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 20 Microbiology (metabolism) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

The development and application of metabolomics tools to study human metabolism in health and disease

Metabolites play many important roles in humans including through metabolism to support our growth and health, through incorporation of lipids in cell membranes to influence transport of biochemicals in to and out of cells and to regulate biochemical processes. Read more

Linking metabolism and metal resistance in pathogenic bacteria (SULLIVANM_U24AMSSCI)

Primary supervisor - Dr Matthew Sullivan. Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is an effective pathogen of humans and animals and is well known as the leading cause of often-fatal infections in newborn infants. Read more

Sustainable bio-hydrogen production via engineered microbial metabolism (4-year fully funded PhD studentship with Dstl)

  Research Group: Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Background and the project. In 2022, carbon emissions from the chemical industry peaked at 935 M ton, making this industry the third largest sector by emissions and responsible for 2.5% of total greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Read more

Phosphonates: The Good, The Bad, and The Biodegradable

Organophosphonates are ancient molecules that contain the chemically stable C–P bond, which is considered a relic of the reducing atmosphere on primitive earth. Read more

Self-funded PhD- Integrated multi-omics characterisation of human retroviral reservoirs

Human retroviruses are a group of pathogens infecting an estimated 50 million people worldwide. The most widespread human retrovirus is HIV-1, which remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in developing countries. Read more

How does glycolysis influence the oral environment during caries and periodontitis?

Glycolysis plays a pivotal role during energy metabolism and cellular responses in oral health and pathology. It is a crucial metabolic pathway for energy production, especially in inflammation or infection scenario, that is essential for maintaining tissue integrity and function in the gingiva and dental pulp. Read more

Evaluating Bacterial Acid Production and pH Dynamics in a Real-Time In-Vitro Polymicrobial Biofilm Model

Dental caries still remains a severe problem for both health and the economy. This oral disease is multifactorial and biofilm-dependent, caused by changes in the composition and metabolism of complex communities of oral biofilm. Read more

Dynamic Imaging for Real-Time Visualization of Bacterial Species Co-Distribution and Biofilm Matrix Components

Dental caries is a severe problem for both health and the economy. This oral disease is multifactorial and biofilm-dependent, caused by changes in the composition and metabolism of complex bacterial communities in oral biofilms. Read more

Competition and cooperation relationships within human microbial communities.

Typical studies of the human microbiome identify dysbiosis by sampling from healthy individuals, comparing them to individuals with a particular disease state, and reporting changes in the presence and/or abundance of bacterial species. Read more

Microalgal Biorefineries

A major contemporary challenge in industrial manufacturing is the development of sustainable production processes. This includes reduced resource consumption and CO2 generation, and energy efficient operations with maximised product outputs. Read more

Algal Bioplastics

Single use plastic is a major environmental concern that is urgently in need of innovative solutions. Microalgae are photosynthetic organisms that can be employed to develop processes that are environmentally sustainable. Read more
