PhD in Genetic

PhD studentship to use novel genomic methods to track genome rearrangements in Acinetobacter baumannii and understand how chromosomal changes increase pathogenicity and provide an advantage in hospital settings./nYou will use a combination of genomic, genetic, and molecular tools to study a collection of recent A. baumannii isolates from infected patients at the nearby Queen Elizabeth hospital. The project is supervised by Professors David Grainger (UoB), Katie Hopkins (UKHSA), Jessica Blair (UoB) and Willem van Schaik (UoB).
