PhD Studentship in Animal Welfare: Improving end-of-life welfare for laboratory rodents
Overview. Interested in improving the end-of-life experiences of laboratory rodents? The aim of this PhD is to evaluate the welfare implications of different methods of killing for laboratory rodents. Read more
The function and mechanisms of animal defensive coloration
“The colours of many animals seem adapted to their purposes of concealing themselves, either to avoid danger, or to spring upon their prey.” Darwin, E. Read more
Exploring the impact of microplastic-bacterial complexes on animal health and the gut microbiome
Plastic pollution is a global issue and rapidly emerging as a crisis for both environmental and human health. Read more
Animal movement, route choice and energetic landscape in the Arctic
Scientific research has focused on the Arctic recently as this region is at high risk from the effects of climate change. However, a major challenge holds back our ability to understand the potential impacts of environmental change; our lack of knowledge about what animals do in the wild. Read more
Combining cognition with conservation to help save a critically endangered species
Cognition, which encompasses the mental processes behind perception, learning, decision-making and memory, underlies many animal behaviours. Read more
Social and climatic influences on animal habitat use and movement patterns
All animals constantly make spatial decisions relating to the different areas in which they live, but we know relatively little about how social and climatic factors influence habitat choices and movement patterns. Read more
Novel AI methods for zoonotic disease prevention and prediction - Host association studies of Salmonella Typhimurium using Machine Learning
In this PhD project you will join a Government-Academia collaborative project to develop novel computational approaches to detect and predict a type of infectious diseases termed zoonotic disease that can be transmitted between species, from animals to humans (and vice-versa). . Read more
Genome to phenome: exploiting multi-omics and deep learning strategies to decipher the importance of isoforms in animal health and behaviour. Epigenetics. Transcriptomics. Proteogenomics. Bioinformatics.
Overview. The molecular process that leads to multiple mRNA transcripts being produced from the same segment of DNA (aka gene) is known as alternative splicing (AS). Read more
How does dietary phytase improve animal nutrition? (BREARLEY_U23CASE)
This is a collaborative program of hypothesis-driven research between UK industry, AB Vista, a division of AB Agri, and the UEA. Read more
