Rapid Diagnostics for Antimicrobial Resistance
Supervisory Team: Hywel Morgan, Dan Spencer and Franklin Nobrega (Biological Sciences). PhD Supervisor: Hywel Morgan. Project description. Read more
Develop Cutting-Edge Peptide Therapies to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance in Eye Infections'
. The cornea, a dome-shaped, transparent tissue at the front of the eye, is crucial for vision. Corneal infections, such as bacterial keratitis (BK), are among the leading causes of unilateral blindness worldwide. Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project: Airborne transmission of pathogens: defining microbial and environmental factors affecting survival in aerosols.
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 21 studentships for entry in September 2025. Read more
LITAC – Bio-Based Fibres of Bacteria-Generated Bioplastics for a Decarbonised Textile Industry
Polyester fibres are the predominant raw material in the textile industry, and so, significantly contribute to global carbon emissions. Read more
Project at Cranfield University: Deciphering spatial colonisation and pathogenesis of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae on onions by assessing associated physical and biochemical changes to decrease food loss
This project is suitable for applicants with. A background and/or experience in biophysics or biochemistry is desirable, but not mandatory. Read more
Bioinformatics analyses of microbial communities and their genetic contents to understand the transmission dynamics and selection of antimicrobial resistance
Project Overview. Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is one of the topics that we cannot ignore. Bacterial infections unsuccessfully treated due to AMR claim at least 700 000 lives per year worldwide and are projected to be associated with the deaths of 10 million people per year by 2050. Read more
The evolution of antibiotic tolerant Staphylococcus aureus cell types during long term colonisation developing into diabetes foot infection.
CONTEXT. Overview of the project. Patients with diabetes have a high risk of a foot ulcer or foot infection. These often re-occur and become chronic. Read more
Bioprospecting skin microbiota to target canine dermatitis
Project Description. Skin infections, often due to underlying allergic skin disease, are among the most common diseases seen in small-animal veterinary practice. Read more
Synthetic Genomics in Gut Bacteria
The Robertson lab develops genome engineering tools for the de novo synthesis of non-model gut bacteria, with the ultimate aim of reprogramming the microbiome to study and modulate human health. Read more
Cell biology underlying tuberculosis pathogenesis and drug resistance
TB remains the world’s greatest infectious killer despite a vaccine (BCG) for a century and effective antibiotics for 60 years. TB’s persistence over millennia in the face of major medical advances underscores the ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to evade and exploit host defences and antibiotics. Read more
Doctoral Researcher (m/f/div) in Natural Product Discovery
The Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (Leibniz-HKI) investigates the pathobiology of human-pathogenic fungi and develops novel natural product-based anti-infectives. Read more

Share your passion for life sciences and apply for the independent Biozentrum PhD Fellowships. The deadline for applications for this Winter Call is October 5th, 2024. Read more
How will freshwater acidification impact algal communities?
We are recruiting a PhD student who will use the latest tools in eco-physiology and molecular biology to understand the direct and indirect impacts of rising CO. Read more
Molecular basis and ecological significance of Saccharomyces wine yeast interactions with microbes, plants and insects
This research involving Saccharomyces cerevisiae provides an excellent training that will equip the graduate with highly transferable skills, relevant in other ‘yeast’ labs or biological systems. Read more
Development of enzymes for the sustainable synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant amides under aqueous conditions.
A PhD studentship is available to work on a multidisciplinary project led by Professor Andrew Carnell on the discovery and development of enzymes for application in the sustainable synthesis pharmaceutically relevant amides. Read more
