The aim of this studentship is to design heterogeneous glycosystems with selective targeting of different bacterial populations. The candidate will use an interdisciplinary approach involving polymer and glycochemistry to create these glycosystems, which will be characterized using SEM, AFM, and TEM in Swansea University's advanced laboratories. The effectiveness of these materials will be tested on various bacterial strains at the Institute of Life Sciences. A comprehensive training program will be provided by a supervisory team with expertise in chemistry, natural products, and microbiology.
