PhD in Biology

This project will develop phage therapies to combat antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. Using patient-derived bacteria and phages, the student will identify effective phage combinations, study bacterial survival mechanisms, and optimise treatments. The aim is to create personalised, safe, and clinically ready therapies, offering sustainable alternatives to antibiotics and addressing antimicrobial resistance./nThis is a Wessex Medical Research PhD studentship jointly funded with Rosetrees Trust. The studentship is primarily intended for UK candidates; however, applications from EU candidates will also be considered. Applications from candidates outside these regions will not be considered./nLocation: University of Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom.
