About this position

Primary Supervisor - Dr Stefan Bidula Fungal infections are responsible for over 1.5 million deaths each year, cause substantial agricultural losses, and are becoming increasingly difficult to treat due to rising antifungal resistance. To develop the next generation of antifungal therapies, we need a better understanding of the fundamental biological processes that enable fungi to grow and cause disease. This PhD project will investigate the role of unusual DNA and RNA structures known as G-quadruplexes (G4s) in regulating the metabolic changes that occur when fungal spores germinate. Germinat
