Breeding Better Biocontrols: Genomic approaches for strain improvement of hyphal-parasitic fungi
Fungal pathogens are responsible for up to 16% of global crop losses, acting both pre-harvest and post-harvest as well as through mycotoxin contamination. Read more
Cryo-EM structures of GPCRs from pathogenic fungi
Pathogenic fungi are responsible for about 1.5 million deaths worldwide per annum and fungi also cause the spoilage of about 25% of the world’s crops. Read more
(MRC DTP) Death during fungal infection: to die or not to die, that is the question.
Respiratory infections caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses rank fourth in the global causes of death according to the World Health Organisation. Read more
Investigating the impact of epigenetic modifiers, a new treatment for cancer, on fungal pathogens. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2025/26
Project Summary. Fungal pathogens threaten our health and kill over a million patients worldwide. In this project, we will deploy cutting-edge epigenetics research and medical microbiology to better understand how pathogenic fungi respond to anti-cancer drugs. Read more
Dissecting cell wall glucan function in intercellular signalling and plant environmental interactions
Apply to join the Benitez-Alfonso team in their quest to dissect the mechanisms underpinning the function of beta-1,3 glucan polymers in plant growth and development. Read more
(MRC DTP) Understanding the development of the preterm infant gut microbiome
The human gut contains a vast community of bacteria, fungi, archaea, and viruses – collectively termed the microbiome – that plays a critical role in our own health and well-being. Read more
Structure-function paradigms for plant-based meat and dairy analogs
To achieve UK net zero goals and to improve the health of the population to relieve stress on the NHS, the UK food system needs to be rebalanced towards a higher proportion of non-animal foods. Read more
Advancing real-time detection and characterisation for bioaerosols - PhD

Dissecting functions of beneficial soil bacterium in protecting banana plants from fungal infection
The Panama disease of banana, caused by fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4) threatens the global production of bananas. Read more
Biochemical and structural studies of yeast telomerase complexes
The ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes are typically composed of tandem G-rich repeats, which play a crucial role in attracting telomeric protein factors to assemble large nucleoprotein structures known as telomeres. Read more
