PhD Studentship in Unravelling chromatin composition and interactome in ESKAPE pathogens
About the Project. Applications are invited for a fully funded 4-year PhD Studentship in Unravelling chromatin composition and interactome in ESKAPE pathogens, based in the Department of Genetics at Cambridge University under the supervision of Dr Antoine Hocher. Read more
Mandrills and microbes II: the gut microbiome of a social primate
The primate gastro-intestinal tract is home to trillions of micro-organisms, which provide their host with essential benefits. In addition to aiding digestion and producing vitamins, gut micro-organisms play a crucial role in the host immune response, protecting the host from infection. Read more
Developing mass spectrometry tools to combat challenges in structural biology
Technology advancement is critical to understand more about how biology works. From climate change to therapeutic interventions, structural mass spectrometry is making major breakthroughs. Read more
Are tropical tree communities shaped by processes in the seed-to-seedling transition?
Summary. This project will examine how seed traits and key processes such as seed production, predation and the microbiome influence seedling establishment, demography and composition in intact and disturbed tropical forests. Read more
Modelling stochastic emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations
Bacterial evolution of antibiotic resistance within patients can compromise the efficacy of antibiotic treatment and represents a serious threat to public health. Read more
Engineering pyrenoid-based CO2-concentrating mechanism into plant chloroplasts
Photosynthesis is one of the key targets for engineering biologists to enhance the yield potential of globally important crops. Several studies have demonstrated that plant biomass can be increased by improving the efficiency of the key CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco. Read more
Metagenomics and Modelling of Synthetic and Bioaugmented Microbial Communities for Bioremediation and Animal Health
Microorganisms and their communities are fundamental to natural environmental processes, human and animal health, and tackling the challenges of industrial contamination, waste treatment and sustainable energy generation. Read more
Navigating risk: The ecology, evolution, and genetics of pathogen avoidance behaviour
Behavioural immunity is an animal's first line of defence against infection, characterized by behaviours that help animals avoid contact with infectious environments or infected conspecifics. Read more
Investigating how cell size impacts proteome homoeostasis and cellular signalling
One of the most obvious differences between cells of different type is their size. Even within a given cell type, there are constant variations in size and, of course, a single proliferating cell will double in size every cell cycle. Read more
Fungal immunity: how do NLR genes allow fungi to navigate the microbial world?
The ability of an organism to distinguish between self and non-self and to mount an effective response is the foundation of a functional immune system. Read more
Pathogen Analysis and source Tracking for Health (PATH): A One Health Approach to Tracking Waterborne Pathogens in Pakistan and Wales
Pakistan is an agricultural country with a population of 241.5 million people. The agriculture sector contributes around 24% to the GDP, with livestock (>50 million cattle, 41.2 million buffalo, and 78.2 million goats) playing a major role. Read more
Enhancing Food Safety: Volatile Organic Compound-Based Early Detection of zoonotic pathogens in Leafy Greens
The project focuses on addressing the rise of foodborne illnesses linked to ready-to-eat salads, particularly caused by zoonotic pathogens like Shiga toxin-producing E. Read more
Gut Reactions and Ground Rules: The Microbial and Environmental Drivers of Zoonotic Hookworm Hatching
Zoonotic hookworm infections, caused by parasites such as Ancylostoma brasiliense, Ancylostoma caninum, and Uncinaria stenocephala, pose a significant health threat to humans, primarily transmitted from companion animals like cats and dogs. Read more
Developing nature-based solutions for reducing microbial pollution in lakes and rivers
Aim. Develop an ecological strategy to remove microbial pathogens from aquatic systems. We are seeking a highly motivated individual to carry out PhD research in the fields of environmental science, water quality and environmental microbiology. Read more
Telling the time in turbulent oceans: How do phytoplankton use clocks and carbon to survive deep mixing?
Phytoplankton are the main primary producers underpinning ocean ecosystems and contribute as much to global carbon fixation as terrestrial plants. Read more
