🎓 PhD Position! How does antibiotic resistance evolve in mixed communities? 🦠

Antibiotic resistance remains one of the great challenges to human health and whilst we understand a lot about resistance mechanisms much of this work has been limited to simple laboratory studies. In the real-world bacteria often live in complex communities of many species where they must compete to survive. We have recently found that selection of antibiotic resistance in biofilms can happen readily but that the responsible mutations can have significant fitness costs.

This project will explore how resistance can emerge in mixed species biofilms and understand which mechanisms of resistance are viable in competition. The student will be based in the groups of Professor Mark Webber and Dr Matthew Gilmour and will use Salmonella as a model organism.

1 in 5 people in the UK are estimated to be deficient in vitamin D during winter and spring 📉

Our ViTaL-D Study aims to understand whether tomatoes biofortified through gene-editing to be high in vitamin D leads to higher levels of active vitamin D in the blood
