PhD opportunity at the University of St Andrews in the School of Biology / Biomedical Sciences Research Complex, as part of the EASTBIO BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership. The project is titled “Mechanism and consequences of lethal zygosis in bacteria restricting AMR plasmids” and focuses on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), conjugative plasmids, restriction-modification (RM) systems, bacterial defence systems, plasmid transmission, and phage therapy. The research asks how defence-induced lethal ...
