PhD in Development of Devices for Determining Electrochemically-Active Pollutants in Water: Diazinon as a Case Study (NERC RED-ALERT CDT) University of Bath in United Kingdom

Funded PhD project at the University of Warwick in Coventry, United Kingdom , focused on Basidiomycota fungi , natural products biosynthesis , fungal genetic engineering , and engineering biology . The project aims to validate an engineering biology toolkit in Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom) by reconstructing biosynthetic pathways for selected bioactive natural products from Basidiomycota fungi. Research activities include cloning biosynthetic genes into expression vectors, fungal transfor...

PhD opportunity in engineering biology, plant science, and gene regulatory networks at the Earlham Institute (Norwich, United Kingdom). This project in the Guiziou Group focuses on decoding the gene regulatory networks that control lateral root initiation in Arabidopsis . The research combines engineering biology , single-cell RNA sequencing , fluorescence microscopy, FACS, and DNA-based recorders based on serine integrase to reconstruct the order of gene expression during lateral root founder c...

More PhD opportunities are available in agri-relevant disciplines , including one linked to the poster’s own research theme. The opportunity is part of a fully funded dual scheme involving Nottingham Trent University and University of Nottingham . The highlighted theme is “Nitro-gen(eration): Attaining Resilient Fertilizers for Sustainable Food Production” , co-led by Katalin Kovács (University of Nottingham) and Andy Gill (Nottingham Trent University). This suggests research at the intersection...
