Microbiology (metabolism) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 20 Microbiology (metabolism) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

The development and application of metabolomics tools to study human metabolism in health and disease

Metabolites play many important roles in humans including through metabolism to support our growth and health, through incorporation of lipids in cell membranes to influence transport of biochemicals in to and out of cells and to regulate biochemical processes. Read more

Linking metabolism and metal resistance in pathogenic bacteria (SULLIVANM_U24AMSSCI)

Primary supervisor - Dr Matthew Sullivan. Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is an effective pathogen of humans and animals and is well known as the leading cause of often-fatal infections in newborn infants. Read more

Phosphonates: The Good, The Bad, and The Biodegradable

Organophosphonates are ancient molecules that contain the chemically stable C–P bond, which is considered a relic of the reducing atmosphere on primitive earth. Read more

Self-funded PhD- Integrated multi-omics characterisation of human retroviral reservoirs

Human retroviruses are a group of pathogens infecting an estimated 50 million people worldwide. The most widespread human retrovirus is HIV-1, which remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in developing countries. Read more

How does glycolysis influence the oral environment during caries and periodontitis?

Glycolysis plays a pivotal role during energy metabolism and cellular responses in oral health and pathology. It is a crucial metabolic pathway for energy production, especially in inflammation or infection scenario, that is essential for maintaining tissue integrity and function in the gingiva and dental pulp.

Evaluating Bacterial Acid Production and pH Dynamics in a Real-Time In-Vitro Polymicrobial Biofilm Model

Dental caries still remains a severe problem for both health and the economy. This oral disease is multifactorial and biofilm-dependent, caused by changes in the composition and metabolism of complex communities of oral biofilm. Read more

Dynamic Imaging for Real-Time Visualization of Bacterial Species Co-Distribution and Biofilm Matrix Components

Dental caries is a severe problem for both health and the economy. This oral disease is multifactorial and biofilm-dependent, caused by changes in the composition and metabolism of complex bacterial communities in oral biofilms. Read more

Competition and cooperation relationships within human microbial communities.

Typical studies of the human microbiome identify dysbiosis by sampling from healthy individuals, comparing them to individuals with a particular disease state, and reporting changes in the presence and/or abundance of bacterial species. Read more
