Microbiology (protein expression) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 15 Microbiology (protein expression) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

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

Fully funded PhD student position in structural biology of viruses

PhD position in the structural biology of viruses. The Department of Chemistry is opening a PhD position in Chemistry with a specialization in structural biology. Read more

Designing novel biotherapeutics for effective and targeted treatment of cancer (SACHDEVAA_U24BIGC)

Primary supervisor - Dr Amit Sachdeva. Secondary supervisor - Prof Andy Cammidge. Over the last decade, several antibody-based biotherapeutics have been developed for treatment of cancer. Read more

Why do cancers cells re-express meiotic SYCP1 protein?

The aim of meiosis is to generate gametes by recombining the chromosomes and reducing the genome from diploid to haploid. However, in mitosis haploid genome and recombination have catastrophic, oncogenic outcomes. Read more

Viral-surface interactions studied by vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy

The recent COVID-19 pandemic, and in particular fomite transmission of the virus, led to a lot of interest in how viral particles attached to surfaces, their survival times on different materials and how they transferred to hosts. Read more

Understanding the evolution of gene regulatory networks through biophysical modelling and machine learning

The ability to coordinate the expression of genes within a cell is at the heart of life. When and how much of a specific gene is turned into a protein is essential for organisms to respond to their environment and to manage resources. 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. Read more

Genome mining of novel antimicrobial natural products

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
