Analysis of pathogen determinants recognized by the hypervariable immune receptor Dscam

University of Birmingham School of Biosciences

Background. To mount an immune response, host organisms must first recognize the pathogen with which they are infected. The first line of defense against pathogen infection in animals is provided through the innate immune response. Read more

Supervisor: Dr M Soller

Dynamic Imaging for Real-Time Visualization of Bacterial Species Co-Distribution and Biofilm Matrix Components

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

Dental caries is a severe problem for both health and the economy. This oral disease is multifactorial and biofilm-dependent, caused by changes in the composition and metabolism of complex bacterial communities in oral biofilms. Read more

Supervisors: Prof J Aylott, Dr K Hardie

5 May 2024 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Chance or Necessity: Elucidating host adaptation in atypical Salmonella

University of Strathclyde Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy & Biomedical Sciences

Food security is a key sustainable development goal for the United Nations (UN) and it is estimated that more than two billion people did not have access to safe, nutritious and/or sufficient food in 2019. Read more

Supervisor: Dr HM Marshall

Evaluating Bacterial Acid Production and pH Dynamics in a Real-Time In-Vitro Polymicrobial Biofilm Model

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

Dental caries still remains a severe problem for both health and the economy. This oral disease is multifactorial and biofilm-dependent, caused by changes in the composition and metabolism of complex communities of oral biofilm. Read more

Regulation of virulence and biofilm formation by quorum sensing and the "stress alarmone" ppGpp in gram-negative pathogenic bacteria.

University of Cambridge Department of Biochemistry

We are investigating the complex interplay between cell-cell signalling (quorum sensing), microbial lifestyle (i.e., free-living planktonic cultures vs sessile biofilm communities), growth phase and virulence in gram-negative bacteria. Read more

Supervisor: Dr M Welch

Where has all of the carbon gone? Understanding the molecular mechanisms of long-term soil carbon capture

The University of Manchester Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences

Soils, while unglamorous, form the basis of the terrestrial biosphere and are ultimately the source of the majority of the food that we eat, yet fundamental aspects of how soils form and how they store carbon are poorly understood. Read more
