Microbial Induced Electrochemistry at the Local Site and Single Cell Level
Microbial Induced Corrosion (MIC) is a serious economic problem with an estimate worldwide cost of $113 Bn every year. MIC impacts a very wide range of industries, from power plants to construction, and even the health of humans with implants or protheses. Read more

Lead supervisor: Dr Sean Meaden. Co-supervisors: Prof James Chong and Dr Saadlee Shehreen, Teesside University. The student will be registered with the Department of Biology (University of York). Read more
Assessing the evolutionary safety of mutagenic antiviral drugs in the context of recombination
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted critical gaps in our antiviral arsenal, with many families of viruses lacking targeted inhibitors. Read more
Investigating bacteriophage therapy to treat pleural infection
Background. A pleural infection (known as empyema) occurs when bacteria enter the space between the lungs and chest wall. They have serious outcomes with a 10% 30-day mortality rate. Read more
Characterising host-pathogen impact of light mediated approaches for treating microbial keratitis
Research Group:
Centre for Inflammation Research
Background. Microbial keratitis (MK) is a significant cause of vision loss worldwide. Current treatment regimens rely on the application of frequent antibiotics or antifungals (up to hourly). Read more
Bioelectrochemical synapse-like communication in bacteria
The human body consists of ~1013 human cells and nearly equal number of bacterial cells. These bacteria impact human heath, physiology and even psychology. Read more
Identifying signatures of host specificity in protist parasites genomes
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
Modelling stochastic emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Bacterial evolution of antibiotic resistance within patients can compromise the efficacy of antibiotic treatment and represents a serious threat to public health. Read more
Determining how a eukaryotic cell maintains its pH
Research Group:
Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Cytosolic pH regulates cellular physiology, with effects ranging from initiating cell signalling to controlling phase separation. Read more
Tuberculosis in Non-Human Primates: Best Practice Diagnostic Pathways in Zoological Settings, Integrating a One Health Approach
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) organisms, presents a significant zoonotic risk, affecting human health, wildlife, and domestic animals. Read more
The Hidden Menace: Unpicking The Risk Of Antimicrobial Resistance Carriers Within The UK Canine Population
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues to pose an increasing threat to animal health. Escalating isolation of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) causing infections in dogs leads to few licensed antimicrobials available for treatment. Read more
