Antibacterial resistant Dental Implant Engineering
Research Group:
School of Chemical and Process Engineering
Dental implants are often affected by bacterial infection which if remain undiagnosed may lead to a major surgical intervention, causing pain and distress. Read more
Are environmental E. coli a suitable hygiene indicator for the fresh produce industry?
Funding. This PhD project is part of a competition funded by SRUC. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Novel micro-vessel bioengineering using iPSCs to study genetic variants on small vessel function
A healthy vascular system is essential for the proper function of organs in the human body. Small blood vessels like arterioles are central in controlling blood flow, blood pressure, and regulate the blood flow entering various organs via capillary networks. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Understanding how commensal bacteria modulate the virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
The microbes that live on and in the human body do not do so alone. Bacteria which cause infections – pathogenic bacteria – infect as part of diverse, polymicrobial communities. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Tackling metal contamination and demand: Engineering microbial biorecovery of metals
This project will focus on the development of a new approach for the removal and biorecovery of high value and precious metals from waste streams to address global challenges associated with environmental metal contamination and the growing demand for metallic catalysts. Read more
BBSRC NWD CASE: Unravelling the Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Interspecies Interactions in the Skin Microbiome
Human skin is a nutrient-scarce environment colonised by many different microorganisms forming intricate microbial communities. Alterations of the skin microbiome composition are associated with different skin conditions (e.g., acne, body odour and atopic dermatitis). Read more
BBSRC NWD: Defining new strategies to treat AMR in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Background. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) is a Gram-negative bacterium and an opportunistic pathogen that causes a wide range of infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals and patients with chronic illnesses. Read more
BBSRC NWD: Adaptive Defense: Unravelling Environmental and Microbial Influences on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Defense Dynamics and Phage Susceptibility
Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as bacteriophage and plasmids constantly challenge bacterial populations. In response, bacteria have evolved a variety of protective mechanisms known as defense systems (DS) to mitigate the risk of MGE attack. Read more
BBSRC NWD: Dissecting the diversity of plasminogen-binding cell surface proteins to develop a vaccine for bovine digital dermatitis
Background. Developing vaccines for endemic diseases of livestock is key to reducing antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance. Read more
Investigating the role of bacterial surface proteins in Streptococcus uberis bovine mastitis
The impact of antimicrobial resistance is growing, affecting the treatment of human and veterinary infections throughout the world. Read more
Understanding how changes in lipid metabolism can enable phagocytes to fine tune the immune response to infection
Neutrophils protect us from infection by engulfing prey into membrane bound vesicles called phagosomes. Phagosomes become highly microbicidal environments following the tightly regulated delivery of microbial effectors to the phagosome. Read more

EASTBIO-Peptide-based precision anti-infectives for prophylaxis and treatment of foodborne listeriosis
Research Group:
Centre for Inflammation Research
Listeriosis is a life-threatening food-borne infection caused by the facultative intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. Clinical manifestations are severe and include meningoencephalitis, bacteremia, stillbirth and neonatal sepsis. Read more

EASTBIO-Understanding how neutrophils fine tune the immune response to Staphylococcus aureus infection
Research Group:
Centre for Inflammation Research
Neutrophils protect us from infection by engulfing prey into membrane bound vesicles called phagosomes. Phagosomes become highly microbicidal environments following the tightly regulated delivery of microbial effectors to the phagosome. Read more
PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences - Viruses in fractured basalt aquifers: terrestrial analog for a potential Martian subsurface microbiome?
Start Date. 01 October 2025. Motivation. On Earth, viruses are the most abundant microorganism in seawater (Suttle 2007). The relative abundance of viruses in terrestrial groundwaters is not yet known, but recent studies point towards a large and highly novel subsurface virome (Wu et al. Read more
Hydrogen Integration in Multi-Energy Systems
The genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis in humans, encodes a number of genes dedicated to lipid biosynthesis and transport. Read more
