Unravelling the regulation of programmed cell death in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms
One 4-year PhD Studentship in Professor Cynthia Whitchurch’s lab at the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore – starting January 2026. The studentship will be funded for 4 years which includes tuition fees and a bursary. Students can be from Singapore or overseas.
Project summary
Programmed cell death (PCD) pathways are genetically encoded programmes that lead to cell suicide. Whist it seems counter-intuitive that single-celled bacteria would maintain cell suicide pathways, PCD is beneficial to multicellular bacterial communities. We have determined that Pseudomonas aeruginosa has 3 PCD pathways that intersect to enable explosive cell lysis for the release of extracellular DNA and other matrix components required for biofilm formation. This project aims to understand how these complex pathways that lead to PCD in P. aeruginosa are regulated. The project will use a range of cutting-edge approaches including molecular microbiology, transcriptomics, bioinformatics, AI and advanced microscopy.
Requirements
Applications are invited from candidates with a Bachelors degree with Honours (2nd class upper division) or equivalent, or Masters degree in Microbiology, Biochemistry, Biomedical Sciences or a related discipline. Additionally, experience in molecular microbiology, microscopy and microbial genomics would be advantageous. However, in the absence of this additional experience the applicant should be keen to learn relevant skills in these areas.
Note that the following will be required of the candidate that is selected for this studentship (the application has to be submitted by the July 31st 2025):
1. Valid TOEFL/IELTS/GRE/GMAT/GATE scores (A valid GRE/GMAT score is required for applicants who are not graduates of the Autonomous Universities in Singapore, unless there is specific requirement state…
I have an exciting opportunity to join my research team in Singapore @scelse.bsky.social as a PhD student to explore programmed cell death in biofilms. See below for more information and please share widely!
