Manipulating the plant phyllosphere microbiome for plant and environmental health.
Healthy plants, like all higher organisms, host an extensive commensal microbial community or microbiome. Non-pathogenic microbes in many cases benefit the host. Read more
Assessing the role of colostrum microbiome properties and early life nutrition management in the acquisition of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in dairy stock
This project aims to study the relationship between colostrum microbiome properties, early life nutrition management and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) development in pre-weaned calves. Read more
The social side of symbionts: exploring bidirectional links between the gut microbiome and social behaviour in mammals
This project is part of the. DPhil in Biology at the University of Oxford. Symbiotic microbial communities can have pervasive impacts on the biology of their hosts, and the diverse microbiomes that reside in the mammalian gut are no exception. Read more
The TB microbiome – understanding the impact of the bacterial and fungal community on Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and patient outcomes
Project highlights. Next generation sequencing will be used to explore the relationship between respiratory microbial communities (bacterial and fungal) and patient outcomes. Read more
The impact of gut microbiome and diet interplay on neurodegeneration
Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or Huntington’s disease represent major health risks of ageing societies. Read more
Profiling of the gastrointestinal microbiome using a swab-MS approach
The project will focus on the phenotyping of oral and colorectal microbiome using swab-DESI or swab-LDI approaches. Read more
PhD studentship in Chemical Engineering - Quantification of oral bacteria metabolism for mathematical prediction of abiotic effects on kinetics and microbiome interactions
Overview. We are looking for an ambitious research student to work with us on an exciting project. understanding the human microbiome. Read more
Characterising the impact of the microbiome on AMR gene transmission
Research interests/description of main research theme. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major crisis for human medicine. Globally, untreatable bacterial infections are rapidly increasing, leaving us with limited treatment options. Read more
The role of the microbiome in diabetic foot ulcers
Research Group:
Molecular Mechanisms and Long Term Conditions
Reference. SHLS20069. Background. Recently the composition of the bacterial species that reside in specific areas – the microbiome has been implicated in many long term health conditions. Read more
Towards engineering the plant microbiome: A molecular dissection of plant-bacteria-fungi interactions
Unsustainable farming practices, such as excessive fertiliser application, have caused environmental damage and led to a food system reliant on fossil fuel intensive processes. Read more
Exploring the role of the microbiome, gut barrier dysfunction, host genetics, and metabolic interactions in the development of colorectal cancer
Background. Accumulating research suggests that a disturbance in the gut microbiome can influence development of colorectal neoplasia from early lesions to tumours (1). Read more
Understanding the beneficial role of Faecalibacterium prauznitzii in avian gut health
Manipulation of the chicken intestinal microbiome to reduce the carriage of foodborne bacterial pathogens, such as Salmonella and Campylobacter that colonise the chicken caeca, is seen as a key tool in their control without the use of antimicrobial drugs. Read more
Deciphering the relationship between early life gut microbiomes and the risk of post weaning diarrhoea in piglets
Pig production is an efficient and potentially sustainable source of high-quality animal protein. Read more
Investigating the role of the microbiome in infection and health outcomes following renal transplantation
Many infections and disease states are closely linked to associated microbiomes, either of the patient themselves or the surrounding clinical environment. Read more
Gut microbiome-derived metabolites and their protective effect on metabolic health and immunity SSEHS/LH
This project aims to assess the impact of gut bacteria-mediated metabolites as postbiotic supplements to improve metabolic function and systemic immunity. Read more
