Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is an effective pathogen of humans and animals and is well known as the leading cause of often-fatal infections in newborn infants. Little is known about how GBS resists the immune system and colonises to cause invasive disease. This PhD will develop a new...

Primary supervisor - Dr Paul Crichton Mitochondria in our cells harness energy through the breakdown of nutrients to produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. However, in specialised brown adipose tissue, popularised as ‘good fat’, the conventional process is ‘short circuited’ by a...

Primary supervisor - Dr Myriam Charpentier Nitrogen (N) acquisition is fundamental for plant growth. However, N is poorly available in soils, leading to extensive and costly chemical fertiliser applications. It is estimated that 50-70% of nitrogen-derived fertilizer provided to the soil is lost,...
