We have 110 Microbiology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Non-European Students in the UK
NanoHacker – Engineering Nanomedicines to Hack and Modulate the Immune System
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Understanding how translation elongation is regulated to control protein synthesis during the response to oxidative stress conditions
All aerobic organisms are exposed to reactive oxygen species (ROS) during normal aerobic metabolism or following exposure to radical-generating compounds. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Identifying molecular mechanisms regulating pathogen growth and host inflammation during fungal and viral coinfections
In the last decades it has become evident that the outcome of infectious diseases can be driven by the occurrence of a superinfection with another pathogen. 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
Exploring the impact of mobile elements and metals on antimicrobial gene spread in the pig microbiota
We are looking for an enthusiastic candidate to investigate the role of zinc and mobile elements on antimicrobial resistance carriage by the pig faecal microbiota. Read more
BBSRC NWD: Exploitation of RNA modification for optimal protein expression under stress conditions
mRNA post translational modifications can regulate the fate of a transcript. They are therefore critical for cellular adaptation and cell survival, especially under conditions of stress. 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: Harnessing soil microbial functions for sustainable agriculture
Background. Modern agricultural practices have greatly reduced soil microbial diversity, leaving 60% of European soils degraded. This decline disrupts essential ecosystem functions like nutrient cycling, compromising soil fertility, crop health, and natural pest resistance. 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 CASE: Characterizing Bovine Calf Immune Responses to Intranasal Vaccination and Naturally Acquired Coronavirus Infection
Respiratory disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality of bovine calves post-weaning affecting approximately 1.9 million calves per year and costing the UK £54 million annually. Read more
BBSRC NWD: On the edges of symbiosis: how insect symbionts evolve in newly established interactions
Background. The biology of arthropods – perhaps more than any other animal – is defined by their interactions with symbiotic microbes. 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
BBSRC NWD: Let the right one in: exploring the trade-offs between genome defence and openness in microbiomes
Bacteria live under constant attack from bacteriophage and other parasitic mobile genetic elements, and as a consequence, they have evolved an extensive arsenal of defence systems to protect themselves. Read more
Development of PROTAC-based technology to inhibit inflammation
Inflammation is a central driver of numerous major diseases including cardiovascular indications, with the inflammasome and neutrophil extracellular traps… Read more
