 About the Program

This post offers an exciting opportunity to work on a new approach to the treatment of bacterial infections by inhibiting the attachment of the pathogen to the human host cell. This project aims to develop these into more effective anti-bacterial drugs by designing more potent and stable peptides and peptidomimetics. The new anti-adhesives will be tested in a complex 3D model of human skin using clinical isolates of pathogenic bacteria, and in a human bladder model under flow conditions using UREC.

 Requirements

  • PhD in microbiology or related subject area either awarded or submitted.
  • Previous mammalian cell culture experience is essential as is experience in designing and developing research, troubleshooting and problem-solving.
