Mechanistic study of the assembly and repair of unique bacterial telomeres in Streptomyces
Streptomyces are filamentous, spore-forming bacteria ubiquitous in soil and marine environments, known to be natural producers of a vast range of products relevant in medicine and industry – ranging from antibiotics such as streptomycin, clindamycin to antitumor therapeutics like doxorubicin.

Building orthogonal ribosome control for engineering biology
Background. Genetic control challenges in both fundamental biology and biotechnology are effectively tackled by building functionally separated (orthogonal) systems within one cell. Read more

African mole-rats as potential reservoirs for zoonotic disease : variation with species, habitat and effects of climate change
Project Summary. This project investigates the zoonotic disease risks associated with African mole-rats, focusing on how environmental and physiological factors may influence their role as disease reservoirs. Read more
Ecological and evolutionary strain-level dynamics of key pathogens in the cystic fibrosis lung microbiome.
People with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) harbour chronic lung infections caused by a variety of bacterial pathogens. In the CF airway, mucus accumulates in the lungs potentiating the development of a taxonomically diverse lung microbiome. Read more
MSc by Research: Optimizing plant cell wall glycan extraction to support plant health and biotechnology research
Plant cell wall glycans are a major component of plant biomass, essential for plant physiology, development, and protection against environmental stress and disease. Read more
MSc by Research: Bacillus subtilis biofilm formation and environmental stress
Biofilms have a significant impact in many environments including medical and agricultural sectors. Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium that is widely used as a model organism to increase our understanding of biofilm formation. . Read more
MSc by Research: Bacillus subtilis intraspecies interactions
Interbacterial competition is ubiquitous and plays a key role in shaping diverse microbial communities, including the gut microbiota and in the rhizosphere. Read more
PhD+ Studentship: Treatment of corneal infection using UVC technology
Aston University is launching a pioneering, fully-funded doctoral scholarship scheme designed to equip researchers with the skills that are crucial for success in the digital age and to meet the demands of the new industrial revolution powered by technology. Read more
Mutations in anaerobic mixed communities
The majority of the human gut microbiome is comprised of anaerobic commensal microbes. Anaerobic commensals are involved in immune responses, absorption of nutrients, drug metabolism, they can protect us against pathogens (1) and can spread antibiotic resistance genes or generate resistance via de novo mutations (2).

Mutations in a skin microbiome
Mutations are fundamental for adaptation, evolution and antimicrobial resistance. Rok’s previous work shows that high-density microbial populations have lower mutation rates, a phenomenon dubbed density-associated mutation rate plasticity (DAMP) (1,2). Read more
PhD studentship: Structural and functional characterisation of mycobacterial outer membrane proteins
Award Summary. 100% of home tuition fees paid and an annual stipend (living expenses) starting at £19,237 (24/25 rate). International candidates will be required to fund the difference between home fees and international fees. . Read more
Project at Aberystwyth University: Unravelling Bovine Tuberculosis: Novel Biomarker Discovery and Host-Pathogen Interaction Insights through Transcriptomic Analysis
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a chronic infectious disease of livestock of global socioeconomic, animal welfare and zoonotic importance. Read more
Project at Aberystwyth University: Genome editing enhanced myxobacterial predators for biological control of diverse crop pathogens
Pathogens have a huge impact on conventional agriculture by decreasing yield and increasing spoilage. They also threaten the security of alternative agricultural systems such as hydroponics/vertical farming/insect farming/cultured meat. Read more
