We have 33 Molecular Biology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Reading
Accelerating molecular phylogenetic inference using high performance computing.
Project Overview. Molecular phylogenetic inference, constructing evolutionary histories from molecular data, is an activity universal to all biological disciplines. Read more
Investigating the mechanisms of antibacterial action of silver and copper ions and nanoparticles, and the emerging threat of metal-ion resistance
Project Overview. The emergence of bacterial strains with resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics has led to renewed interest in the antimicrobial properties of metals including silver. Read more
Investigating lysosomal (dys)function in ageing and neurodegeneration
Project Overview. Ageing is associated with a decline in the functions of an organism (López-Otín, C. et al. Cell, 2023) and correlates with an increased risk of developing diseases in the later life (Niccoli, T. Read more
Investigating bacteria-bacteriophage diversity to develop phage libraries for treatment of bacterial infections
Project Overview. The World Health Organisation (WHO) predicts antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections will be the leading cause of death globally by 2050. Read more
Understanding the role of rodent niche in dissemination of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance
Project Overview. Rats and mice are one of the most prolific and widespread wildlife species. Read more
How do prenatal steroids elevate autism likelihood?
The causes of autism remain unknown. Some literature has showed a link between higher levels of steroid hormones such as testosterone in the womb and autism in children, particularly males. Read more
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of thrombosis and haemostasis
Project Overview: . The risk of heart attack or stroke is elevated in obesity and in people with metabolic disorders such as diabetes. 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
Microplastics and Nanoplastics as Emerging Risk Factors in Neurodevelopmental and Neurodegenerative Condition
Project Overview. Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants raising concerns due to their potential adverse effects on human health. Read more
Exploring the Ubiquitin-Proteasome system’s Impact on Ageing and Disease: The Interplay of Genetics, Lifestyle, and Environment
Project Overview. Unravelling the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving ageing to improve human health across the lifespan is a central aim of biomedical research. Read more
Novel strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of snakebites
Snakebite envenomation (SBE), a high priority neglected tropical disease affects several million people worldwide resulting in as many as 150,000 deaths and around 500,000 permanent disabilities every year. Read more
Staphylococcus aureus colonisation and pathogenicity
Project Overview. . Staphylococcus aureus is a versatile and adaptable pathogen of humans and animals. Of serious medical and economic importance, infections can range from mild skin issues like boils and impetigo to more serious conditions like pneumonia and bloodstream infections. Read more
Exploring the interplay between ageing, gut microbiome, and neurodegenerative diseases
Project Overview. Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease represent major health risks in ageing societies. Read more
