Microbiology (performance) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 18 Microbiology (performance) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Novel glycoprotease discovery and characterisation for enhanced detergent performance

In this exciting joint academia-industry project the student will exploit metagenomes and the huge untapped capacity of the human gut microbiota to breakdown glycoconjugates to discover novel protease enzymes that can potentially increase the performance and environmental sustainability of leading P&G automatic dishwashing brands.

Use of Fungi as a Means of Producing Concrete-Like Construction Materials

Concrete is one of the World’s most ubiquitous materials. It has achieved this through its versatility, durability and low cost. However, the manufacture of a key ingredient - Portland cement – contributes 4% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Read more

Development of sensitive and analytically robust biosensor chips for respiratory virus detection

This Medical Research Scotland Sponsored PhD Studentship is focused on the intersection between electrochemical biosensors, chemical biology and virology and features both academic (Prof Corrigan and Prof Burley) and industrial supervision (National Measurement Laboratory - NML). Read more

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

Glycosylation in Microalgal Host Cells

Microalgae have generated increasing interest as microbial cell factories to produce therapeutics proteins. This is because they can grow on very cheap media and their GRAS (generally regarded as safe) status means they are a fantastic option for the production of therapeutics that can be administered orally.
