Accepting PhD Students
PhD projects
We are interested in using information about the molecular microbiology and physiology of bacteria to develop processes. We focus on three main areas:
- Development of bioprocesses that generate high-value products (for example recombinant protein biopharmaceuticals, polymers, small molecules);
- Understanding biofilms and they ways in which their structure and function are regulated and might be modulated; and
- Developing processes that are designed to eliminate contaminating bacteria from product streams (for example foods and waste streams).
