About this position

This PhD opportunity focuses on investigating the gut–heart axis in chimpanzees, aiming to uncover microbial clues to cardiovascular resilience. The project involves developing an in vitro fermentation model of the chimpanzee gut, characterizing the microbiome using metabarcoding and metabolomics, and exploring microbiome-based interventions. Students will work with a multidisciplinary team of experts in microbiology, cardiovascular science, conservation, and bioinformatics, and benefit from industry collaboration with Cultech Ltd. The host institutions are Cardiff University and Swansea University, with supervisors including Dr Catrin Williams, Dr Pablo Orozco Ter Wengel, Prof Dipak Ramji, and Dr Aimee Drane.

The project is offered through the SWBio Doctoral Training Partnership, which typically provides fully funded studentships. Applicants should have a strong interest and background in microbiome research, animal health, and related fields.

The application process is via the SWBio DTP portal, and candidates are encouraged to review the specific requirements and prepare their materials accordingly.
