Overview
About the programme
Microorganisms play pivotal roles in everyday life, from elemental cycling and the production of food to life-threatening infections of man and animals.
On this Microbiology program at The University of Manchester, there are two main research topics - Molecular Bacteriology and Molecular Mycology. Molecular Bacteriology is focused on studying bacterial pathogens of man.
Programme Structure
Research areas include:
- 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 transition metals and their role in host-pathogen interactions;
