With our Postgraduate Open Day fast approaching (3 Nov), we introduce five PhD students who are already making waves at Cambridge.

The amount of antimicrobials given to animals destined for human consumption is expected to rise by a staggering 52% and reach 200,000 tonnes by 2030 unless policies are implemented to limit their use, according to new research. 

Almost one in four of the world’s cases of tuberculosis (TB) are in India and the disease is constantly adapting itself to outwit our medicines. Could the answer lie in targeting not the bacteria but its host, the patient?

Bacteria 'plan ahead' by tightening their belts to help them survive looming lean periods, researchers at Cambridge have discovered.

Can whole genome sequencing provide the forensic information needed to map and control the global spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria?

Targeting the ‘conversations’ that bacteria have with one another could herald a new generation of therapeutics that curb the virulence of infectious microbes.

A new multidisciplinary research programme aims to develop a single vaccine that will combat four major respiratory pathogens of pigs.
