Development of Novel Nitrate/ Nitrite Reduced and Nitrate/ Nitrite Free Meat Products
PhD Opportunity. Teagasc is offering a Post-graduate opportunity in meat products development. The ‘No-2- Nitrates’ project (a collaboration between Teagasc, UCD and TU Dublin) is funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Read more
Measuring pesticide exposure and microbial-level impacts in soil ecosystems using novel passive sampler devices
This project is co-sponsored by Syngenta. Microbes represent the lowest trophic level and entry point to the food web and are critical indicators of soil ecosystem health under chemical stress. Read more
Are macrophages the heroes or villains of infection control?
The field of host pathogen interactions has never been more important. From the recent Covid19 pandemic to the causes of cancer and neurodegenerative disease host pathogen interactions underpin the pathology of many important diseases. Read more
Understanding fundamental aspects of viral capsid maturation in enteroviruses
Enteroviruses are responsible for a wide variety of diseases ranging from paralysis and death (e.g. poliovirus) to the common cold. Read more
Glycan-based prebiotic approaches
We are currently looking for a PhD candidate to join our dynamic and interdisciplinary team at the Institute for Glycomics, Griffith University Gold Coast campus. Read more
Water Infrastructure and Resilience (WIRe) CDT PhD studentship: Quantifying and abating greenhouse gas emissions from large wastewater treatment plants
Overview. The PhD project ‘Quantifying and abating greenhouse gas emissions from large wastewater treatment plants’ is an industrial-academic collaboration between Newcastle University and Northumbrian Water Limited. Read more
Funded PhD Position - Investigating the diet-microbiome connection in coeliac disease
PhD project. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease activated by dietary gluten affecting between 1 and 3% of individuals globally. Read more
MPhil Investigation of the factors that lead to variability in results when testing Antiviral disinfectants under European hygiene standards (EN 14476 & EN 16777).
As a result of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic the desired performance of biocidal products for hygienic cleaning e.g. surfaces, hand disinfectants has shifted and claims that viruses are destroyed have become essential commercially. Read more
Design and Synthesis of novel analogues of Hipposudoric Acid for therapeutic use
Research into novel antimicrobial agents has never been more pressing with the ever-increasing resistance towards traditional medications. Read more
Cell growth signalling in space: How does mTOR kinase communicate with diverse cellular compartments?
PROJECT IN BRIEF. This funded, 4-year PhD project addresses the fundamental question of how individual cells sense and respond to environmental changes. Read more
Accumulation and transformation of selenium and zinc in typical probiotics under cofermentation of selenium-zinc-serine-GSH
Probiotics have been implemented in a wide range of food products, including dairy products, meat, beverages, cereals, vegetables, and fruits, as well as bread goods, which could be helpful on gastrointestinal peristalsis, digestion and absorption and immunity. Read more
Nutrition quality regulation and assessment on Chinese selenium hyperaccumulating plant during planting and fermentation processing
Selenium (Se) is one of the important trace elements needed for maintaining human health, especially for anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and immune effects. Read more
Location location location - how genome position affects gene expression (WEBBER_Q22DTP)
Bacterial genomes have evolved over billions of year to allow efficient expression of the right genes at the right times and this is a carefully controlled process. Read more
Finding needles in haystacks - sequencing single bacteria from complex microbiomes (MACAULAY_E22DTP2)
Microbiomes are integral to many of the fundamental processes affecting society – from healthcare to agriculture - but the complexity and diversity harboured within these microbiomes and the roles of individual cells/species in adaptation to new environments/stresses is still largely unexplored.
