PhD Studentship in Microbiology at the University of Cambridge, Department of Chemistry, with Professor Erwin Reisner. The project sits in the Reisner Laboratory and focuses on microbiology, biochemistry, chemistry, and biohybrid technologies. The research aims to engineer live cells to convert carbon dioxide and other feedstock chemicals into bespoke complex chemicals, and to interface these cells with light-harvesting semiconductor systems for semi-artificial photosynthesis of organic chemical...

[4-year PhD studentship including tuition fees paid directly to the University, a stipend of £21,805 for 2026/27, and a Research Training Support Grant of £5,000 per year.] This 4-year PhD studentship at the University of East Anglia forms part of the Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership. The project, Discovering the Next Generation of Antibiotics , addresses one of the most urgent challenges in modern bioscience: the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the need ...

PhD project in chemical biology and microbiology focused on developing new ways to target bacteria by disrupting essential cell division protein interactions . The project addresses the urgent problem of antibiotic resistance and aims to design, synthesise, and test compounds that block protein-protein interactions needed for bacterial growth and spread. The work uses Mycobacterium smegmatis as a harmless model for Mycobacterium tuberculosis , with an emphasis on discovering peptide-based or rel...
