PhD in Protein Glycosylation, Bacterial Colonisation and Gut Adaptation Quadram Institute Bioscience in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at Quadram Institute Bioscience, Norwich, United Kingdom This project asks how fungi and bacteria communicate in cross-kingdom microbial interactions, focusing on Candida albicans and Fusobacterium nucleatum . The work is based in the Buscaino and Juge laboratories at the Quadram Institute and sits within the Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Programme (NRPDTP). The research combines microbiology, genetics, genomics, biochemistry, bioinformatics, molecular biolo...

PhD opportunity at the John Innes Centre in the Saunders Lab on deciphering critical regulators in wheat rust immunity . The project focuses on plant pathology , wheat genetics , molecular biology , bioinformatics , microbiology , and plant biology , with an emphasis on how branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) influence salicylic acid-mediated defence against yellow rust in wheat. The research aims to uncover the link between BCAA accumulation and activation of the MYB/SANT transcription factor Ta...
