PhD Studentship: Understanding the Microbiome and Phageome in Chronic Lung Infections for the Development of Phage Therapy University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

The University of Birmingham in Birmingham, United Kingdom, is advertising a PhD studentship on machine learning for plasmid risk assessment and genomic surveillance, with a focus on respiratory disease and the microbiome. The project will analyse large-scale metagenomic sequencing data from patients across the respiratory disease severity spectrum, including people presenting with respiratory symptoms in emergency care and patients with severe pneumonia in intensive care. Researchers will chara...

PhD opportunity at the John Innes Centre within the Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership. This project, “From Defence to Antibiotic production: Uncovering New Roles for NLR Signalling in Multicellular Bacteria” , explores how nucleotide-binding and oligomerisation domain-like receptors (NLRs) function in Streptomyces beyond phage defence. The research aims to uncover broader roles in multicellular development , complex signalling networks , and the regulation of natura...
