Development and evaluation of antimicrobial agents against mixed oral biofilms using 3-D model of oral mucosa
Oral biofilms play a significant role in the development of oral diseases such as caries and periodontitis. The World Health Organization reports approximately 1 billion cases of periodontal disease and 2 billion cases of caries in adults, along with 514 million cases of caries in children. Read more
Chaperones and the response to protein misfolding stress
Misfolded proteins are usually refolded to their functional conformations or degraded by quality control mechanisms. When misfolded proteins evade quality control, they form aggregates that are sequestered to specific sites within cells. Read more
Bidirectional mobile sRNA signalling in pea-downy mildew interactions
Plants are constantly being challenged by microbial pathogens and they have evolved the capacity to detect and defend against these incoming microbes. Read more
Microbial cell protein production and food applications
Microbial proteins provide a sustainable and nutritious alternative to traditional animal and plant-based proteins and as such are attracting significant research and commercial interest. Read more
CR2025_59: Interactions between chemical pollutants and an emerging infectious disease of wildlife
Amid the global biodiversity crisis, the UK’s 2023 State of Nature report identified pollution as a major threat to British wildlife (Burns et al., 2023). Read more
EASTBIO: A novel, highly versatile cell factory to make feedstocks from biowastes
Industrial biotechnology is emerging as a powerhouse for a sustainable approach to modern chemical and modern medicine manufacture, where microorganisms are utilised to replace our dependency upon fossil fuel sourced chemical feedstocks. Read more
E5 DLA Project; Investigating the Biodiversity and Ecological Determinants of Fungus Gnats (Sciaridae): An Emerging Pest in Glasshouse Environments
As the UK transitions towards a ban on peat in plant-growing media, the adoption of more sustainable alternatives such as wood fibre, wood chips, and green compost has led to a rise in the prevalence of fungus gnats in glasshouse environments, where they can become significant pests. Read more
EastBio CASE: Development of High-Efficiency Landing Pads for Protein Production in P. pastoris
Research Group:
Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Pichia pastoris, a methylotrophic yeast, is a microbial expression system widely adopted by the biotechnology industry due to its ability to produce recombinant proteins in high yield. Read more
Bioaerosol monitors for building control systems
Applications are invited for a 4 year PhD studentship starting in Autumn 2025 as part of the EPSRC CDT in Aerosol Science. Project description. Read more
The Xu lab at Georgia State University - Fully funded position available
The Xu lab focuses on Nanobodies. Nanobodies are antigen-binding entities derived from the heavy chain-only antibodies of camelid animals, and they retain full antigen specificity at a very small size (13 kDa). Read more
EastBio: Fitting mechanistic models of gene expression to single-cell data.
It is nowadays possible to measure the mRNA numbers at the single cell level genome wide. While a large amount of this data is now readily available, its analysis has lagged behind. Read more
EastBio: Defining the cellular response of Bacteroides fragilis to antibiotic treatments that damage DNA
The microbiota of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract contributes to health and development, for example by processing ingested polysaccharides and priming the immune system against pathogens. Read more
Wild Atlantic Woods: how to recognise and maintain their cultural and conservation value
Forest health is a growing, international concern, with most attention focused on climatic drivers and regions with large tracts of forest cover. Read more
Development of effective phage cocktails for precise crop protection measures
Crop production plays a crucial role in ensuring global food security and maintaining economic stability, especially with the global population projected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, necessitating a 70% increase in food production. Read more
Future crop protection: Precision application of biopesticides
Crop pests are a major constraint on agricultural production, resulting in significant losses of yield and crop quality. Read more
