Microbiology (molecular interactions) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 33 Microbiology (molecular interactions) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Exploring Viral Nucleic Acid Machinery via Cryo Electron Microscopy to Advance Biomedicine

Viruses, these tiny but potent life forms, are all around us, infecting various organisms and directly affecting human health. Although in most cases, viral infection is not life threatening, in the minority of cases it leads to long-term disorders including cancer. Read more

Discovery and functional investigation of the shared molecular mechanisms of host immunoregulation by the pathogens that cause malaria and sepsis.

Infectious diseases cause enormous humanitarian and economic burdens worldwide. Designing interventions that prevent, cure, or control many infections is difficult because pathogens have evolved sophisticated ways of subverting host immunity. Read more

Control and inhibition of virus replication

The Tuplin laboratory utilises a range of cutting-edge approaches to investigate how arboviruses - specifically Chikungunya, Dengue and Zika viruses - control replication and translation of their genomes through interactions between RNA structures, host cell proteins and non-coding RNA, and the potential of such RNA elements/interactions as novel therapeutic targets.

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

Faculty of Science, Masaryk University

Embark on an enriching academic journey with our esteemed doctoral degree programs in various scientific fields. Read more

MSc by Research: Bacillus subtilis intraspecies interactions

Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium that resides in intestinal tracts, soil, and on plant surfaces. B. subtilis, alongside other Bacillus species, presents a promising plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria. Read more

Developing 3D models to understand how interactions between bacterial biofilm and the host environment impact antimicrobial efficacy in a chronic infected wound

2.8 million people in the UK have a chronic wound which persist for months or years, causing pain, isolation, odour, and decreased mobility; patients with chronic wounds regularly report a deterioration in quality of life. Polymicrobial biofilms are present in greater than 70% of chronic wounds, making effective treatment incredibly challenging. Read more

Unlocking immune cells with tick-borne pathogens

In this project we will use tick-borne pathogenic bacteria as a molecular tool-kit for unlocking immune cells. These discoveries will help us combat tick-borne disease and provide a basis for manipulating immune cells, impacting on a wide range of diseases. Read more

Investigating the biology and utility of Giant Viruses (Jumbo-bacteriophages). (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/Smith-Nelson)

The bacteriophage research group at Northumbria University are seeking a highly motivated and talented PhD candidates to join our team and investigate the biology and potential applications of jumbo bacteriophages. Read more
