Summary
Our PhD/MPhil Microbiology programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Microbiology.
Microorganisms play pivotal roles in everyday life, from elemental cycling and the production of food to life-threatening infections of man and animals.
At Manchester, there are two main research topics - Molecular Bacteriology and Molecular Mycology.
Molecular Bacteriology is focused on studying bacterial pathogens of man and includes the following areas: - The role of bacterial polysaccharides and glycoconjugates in disease;
-
Relationship between infection and gut flora;
-
Structural biology of cell surface proteins in bacterial pathogens including their interaction with the immune system and implications for vaccine development;
-
Adaptation of intracellular bacterial pathogens to life inside the cell;
-
Development of novel approaches to combat antibiotic resistance;
-
Mechanisms used by bacterial pathogens to handle heavy metals and their role in host-pathogen interactions.
