Project at Cranfield University: Evaluating suitability of graphitic carbon from methane cracking to improve soil nutrient retention for crop uptake
Methane is a potent greenhouse (GHG) with a half-life shorter than CO. 2. and can oxidise to form CO. 2. Minimising methane emission by converting it to hydrogen and carbon (C) will reduce CO. Read more
Discovering the determinants of host tropism of an emerging livestock pathogen
An evolutionary arms race for supremacy exists between viruses and their hosts’ immune systems. Viruses rely on cellular resources and machinery for their replication, and cells defend themselves from viruses by recognising and blocking infections. 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
MSc by Research: Speeding up the plant microbiota: investigating the impact of speed breeding on host-microbe interactions in the barley rhizosphere
Feeding a growing world population amid climatic modifications and international conflicts represents an unprecedent challenge for crop production. 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
Health effects of indoor mould exposure in various patient populations
Background. The health effects of damp and mould exposure have attracted significant attention in recent years, particularly in the context of climate change. Read more

EASTBIO: How can antibiotics and bacterial defence systems interact to limit antibiotic resistance transmission?
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health crisis, causing over one million deaths per year. The spread of AMR is largely due to the carriage of AMR genes on conjugative plasmids, mobile genetic elements that spread by conjugation between bacteria. Read more

EASTBIO: Do you want to make new discoveries at the interface of glycosylation and respiratory virus infection?
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are ubiquitous modifications to amino acids on a protein following translation, which can vastly increase the functionality of a single gene product. Read more

EASTBIO: A novel, highly versatile cell factory to make feedstocks from biowastes
Industrial biotechnology is emerging as a powerhouse for a sustainable approach to modern chemical and modern medicine manufacture, where microorganisms are utilised to replace our dependency upon fossil fuel sourced chemical feedstocks. Read more
Patient and public involvement in medical mycology: investigating opportunities and designing solutions
Project description. The MRC Centre for Medical Mycology (CMM) at the University of Exeter conducts world-leading research of growing importance, globally and locally. Read more
RNA biology: investigating the role of UPF1 in mRNA Processing and Neurodegenerative Diseases
Accurate gene expression is fundamental to the survival of all life forms. RNA helicases, a large family of enzymes, are key regulators involved in several stages of this process, including transcription, pre-mRNA processing, and translation. 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). Read more
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
Investigation of Novel Accessory Proteins in the Replication of Infectious Bronchitis Virus
Coronaviruses encode several accessory proteins that have been proposed to counteract antiviral host responses in vivo. Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) is a Gammacoronavirus causing Infectious Bronchitis, an acute highly contagious economically important disease of chickens. 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
