About this position

Loughborough University is offering fully funded PhD opportunities for October 2027 entry in Professor Danish Malik’s industrial biotechnology group. The research addresses bacteriophage manufacturing, formulation and delivery, with the goal of transforming phages from a promising antimicrobial approach into medicines that can be licensed and administered to patients.

Applicants can develop a project around one of four research themes:

  • Scalable phage production: development of instrumented bioreactor processes, including real-time digital twins.
  • Downstream processing: investigation of tangential flow filtration (TFF), monolith chromatography and impurity profiling.
  • Storage stability: use of spray drying and freeze drying to improve the stability and storage of phage products.
  • Inhaled delivery: development and evaluation of delivery through nebulisers and dry powder inhalers.

The work combines bacteriophage biology with bioprocessing, pharmaceutical formulation and therapeutic delivery. It is suited to research interested in antimicrobial resistance, scalable manufacturing and the development of phage-based medicines. Students will work within Malik’s group at Loughborough University and can shape a proposal around the theme most closely aligned with their interests.

The opportunity is supported through the China Scholarship Council–Loughborough scheme.

Funding details

Fully funded through the China Scholarship Council–Loughborough scheme. Loughborough University pays 100% of tuition fees for three years. The China Scholarship Council provides a living allowance, return airfare and visa fees.

What's required

Open to outstanding Chinese nationals ordinarily resident in mainland China. Applicants should email a CV and a short note identifying their preferred research theme; the proposal will then be developed with the supervisor. The post does not specify particular academic qualifications, grades, language test requirements or technical prerequisites.

How to apply

Email Danish Malik at [email protected] with your CV and a short note explaining which research theme interests you. Discuss and shape the proposal with the supervisor, then submit the Loughborough application by 4 January 2027.
