Supervisors: Dr. Michele Crotti Dr. Martyna Michalska Abstract: Biofilm-associated infections account for nearly 80% of human microbial infections and are notoriously resistant to antibiotics and disinfectants. With antimicrobial resistance (AMR) on the rise, there is an urgent need for...

PhD Studentship: Nanopore Technology for Rapid and Accurate Measurement of Antibiotic Concentrations
for small-molecule sensing. By engineering nanopores with molecular recognition elements such as DNA aptamers, this project will enable multiplexed, real-time detection of diverse antibiotics, supporting both

mycobacterial infections. The student will characterise their mechanisms of action using cross-linking mass spectrometry and assess their effects on mycobacterial membrane integrity and cell wall metabolism
-
on recent advances in recombinant RNAP production, cryo-EM structural elucidation, and fragment-based screening, the project will integrate fluorine-based NMR spectroscopy with active learning algorithms and

for developing new treatments against drug-resistant infections. Their rapid action and ability to target bacteria in several ways make it difficult for antimicrobial resistance to emerge. Despite this promise
