Engineering plant microbiome PhD: Exploring and engineering the plant microbiome for increased resilience

Title. Exploring and engineering the plant microbiome for increased resilience. Project Description. Plants are impacted by numerous abiotic and biotic factors above and below ground, such as nutrient availability, local climatic conditions, and the surrounding fauna. Read more

SLS SF1: Investigating the basis of invasive multi-drug resistant Salmonella Dublin

Salmonella Dublin belongs to non-typhoidal Salmonella that primarily causes self-limiting gastrointestinal illness in humans; however, it has adapted to cause invasive disease and life-threatening infections, especially in elderly people, children, and immunocompromised individuals. Read more

Self funded MSc by research or PhD in Biology: Chemical warfare in the rhizosphere: understanding the defensive role of plant root exudates against the bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum

Lead supervisor. Dr Andrea Harper. The student will be registered with the Department of Biology. R. solanacearum is a devastating bacterial plant pathogen that has a global distribution, wide host range, and no effective control methods. Read more

Investigation of novel glycoconjugate vaccines to produce mucosal and systemic immunity against Group A Streptococcus.

Glycoconjugate vaccines have shown to be effective for several mucosal pathogens such as Streptococcus pneumoniae. While there is still no licensed vaccine against Group A Streptococcus (GAS), there has been significant progress in the development of candidate vaccines in recent years. Read more

Chance or Necessity: Elucidating host adaptation in atypical Salmonella

Food security is a key sustainable development goal for the United Nations (UN) and it is estimated that more than two billion people did not have access to safe, nutritious and/or sufficient food in 2019. Read more

How does the dynamic intra-membrane aggregation of phage lysis proteins kill bacterial pathogens?

This is an interdisciplinary project. It will provide a unique opportunity to obtain training in a wide range of interdisciplinary skills, including protein engineering techniques, protein purification, atomic force microscopy, neutron reflection and scattering as well as molecular dynamics simulations.
