Masters in Biology at the University of York, aiming to leverage the natural resources of phages, using global and local collections of skin microbiomes, combined with synthetic biology, to develop prototype therapeutic phage applications.
Research objectives include Mining microbiome data for a database of skin-associated viruses and Synthetic ‘rebooting’ of Staphylococcos aureus infecting phage.
Training will be provided in bioinformatic analysis (Meaden lab), synthetic phage rebooting (Fogg lab) and skin microbiology (Thomas and Rudden labs). The student will also benefit from the wider Skin Research Centre network across the University of York and Hull York Medical School.
