Research Training

The McDevitt laboratory has a number of opportunities for students interested in developing their practical laboratory skills through Honours, Masters, or PhD research. The projects available combine multidisciplinary approaches, including microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, and biophysics, to investigate how pathogenic bacteria cause disease and how knowledge of these fundamental processes can be exploited for novel antimicrobial development.  

​

All of our projects will help you develop a strong range of scientific skills that will enable you to undertake further studies or help you embark on a career in research science.
