Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

Dear Web Surfer

Read on if you prefer to endure a corporate paint of my profile. But if you want to know more about me, my research and my training style, don't waste your time here and browse directly http://publish.uwo.ca/~mvalvano/

I accept postgraduate students from diverse ethnic backgrounds and with education in any discipline of biology.

Particularly, I consider those who reply YES to the following questions:

Do you enjoy adventure and exploration and don't care being frustrated from time to time?

Have you ever wondered how does it feel to discover something new?

Do you like a life with excitement?

Research topics in my lab include:

- Cellular Microbiology: interactions of bacteria with innate immune cells
- structure/function/assembly of Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane with a focus on lipopolysaccharide biogenesis and functional modifications
- molecular mechanisms of intrinsic antimicrobial resistance and heteroresistance.

For more details concerning style of supervision and required experience visit http://publish.uwo.ca/~mvalvano/graduate-ad.html.
