About the Project
Rising levels of antimicrobial resistance pose a serious threat to global health and modern medical treatments. The slow pace of antimicrobial discovery has driven the rediscovery of an old idea: using the natural viral predators of bacteria, phages, to treat infections. Conventional phage therapy, using naturally occurring phages, has been proven safe and effective across 1000s of individual patients for a wide range of bacterial diseases. Rollout of conventional phage therapy in the clinic has, however, been slowed by logistical, regulatory and commercialization barriers. Synthetic genomics allows phage genomes to edited, recombined or designed from scratch. Synthetic phages are a pathway to more standardized, scaleable and commercializable phage therapeutics, overcoming regulatory and commercialization barriers. Robust genome safeguarding will be essential for the broad adoption of synthetic phage therapeutics.
In this project we will develop genome safeguarding technologies for synthetic phages that prevent their unwanted release into natural environments and ensure robust protection of intellectual property. These genome safeguarding technologies will be built-in to synthetic phage therapeutics for treatment of multidrug resistant bacterial infections and tested in relevant preclinical infection models.
The project will offer broad training in synthetic genomics and synthetic biology, microbiology and phage biology, infection biology and evolutionary biology. The student will gain expertise in statistical analysis, bioinformatics, data visualisation and experimental design. The project will provide experience in developing a novel biotechnology including training in innovation, commercialisation and business development and opportunities to interact with regulators and policy-makers.
