Master’s Opportunities in Synthetic Biology in United Kingdom

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of York in the Frei Lab , working in collaboration with the INEOS Oxford Institute for Antimicrobial Research . This interdisciplinary studentship sits within the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Chemical Synthesis for a Healthy Planet (CSHP CDT) and combines machine learning , automated synthesis , robotics , antibiotic discovery , and inorganic chemistry . The project focuses on developing metal-based antibiotics using sustainable high-throug...

Imperial College London’s Department of Chemical Engineering is advertising a funded PhD project in engineering biology for food and medicines . The project is led by Prof Karen Polizzi and focuses on the application of engineering biology to develop systems for recombinant protein expression . The research spans both cell-based and cell-free expression platforms and includes application areas such as vaccines and alternative proteins . This is a funded PhD opportunity open to applicants worldwi...

PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick within the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership on engineering broad-spectrum phage cocktails and synthetic depolymerases as next-generation antimicrobials against uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) . The project addresses antibiotic resistance in UPEC, a major cause of urinary tract infections. The research builds on six newly isolated and characterised lytic bacteriophages with broad host-range coverage and putative phage-encoded...
