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
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

QUADRAT DTP: Is nibbled, riddled and rotten good for health? Biodiverse stimulation of antiparasitic chemical production by plants and fungi
About the Project. Control of parasitic infections in grazing livestock is under severe strain from drug resistance and climate change, and new approaches are urgently needed. Read more
Mathematical modelling of transmission and worldwide distribution of neglected zoonotic diseases (Q fever)
A 3-year fully funded position is available to contribute substantially to the development of a new modelling approach for the prediction and control of zoonotic diseases (Q fever). Read more
Machine learning for tracing pathogens in the food chain
Salmonella is the most important food chain pathogen globally[1], causing infection and mortality in farmed animals and gastrointestinal infection of humans via consumption of contaminated foodstuffs. Read more
Respiratory and anaesthetic characterisation, animal well-being, and refinement of advanced cardiovascular research models in large animal
Supervisors. Vito Domenico Bruno (primary supervisor), Raimondo Ascione. Background. Millions of patients globally are still suffering with severe cardiovascular disease leading to death or debilitating complications such as myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, and limb amputation (1-2). Read more
The Survivin Interactome in Health and Disease
Survivin is a small protein that is essential for life but that also contributes to disease, most notably cancer, in which its abnormal overexpression is linked to therapeutic resistance and metastasis. Read more
Establishing an effective 3D cell culture model for the study of infectious respiratory diseases
Infectious respiratory diseases pose serious threats to human and animal health due to their high mortality and morbidity rates. Lung structure and composition varies between species. Read more
SCENARIO: Generating and evaluating the next generation of ensemble atmospheric dispersion forecasts (SC2023_42)
Research Group:
SCENARIO NERC DTP
Many hazardous events including volcanic eruptions, chemical or radiation releases, industrial fires and wildfires, release aerosols and gases into the atmosphere. Read more
A platform to investigate multi-tissue crosstalk mediated by exercise induced soluble factors released from human skeletal muscle
The benefits of exercise are well documented, whereby people regularly undertaking some form of physical activity score highly in measures of fitness, health and mental wellbeing. Read more

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 relationship between dietary micronutrients (e.g. iron, zinc and vitamins), and the gut microbiota: Can dietary micronutrient regime be exploited to support gut health?
The gut microbiota has a significant influence on host health, including nutrition, development of the immune system, infection… Read more
Health and wellbeing in an endangered non-human primate across an anthropogenic gradient
Project summary. This exciting opportunity integrates conservation management and animal wellbeing, using thermography and other non-invasive biomarkers of health and welfare, to assess the impact of anthropogenic disturbance in an endangered non-human primate. 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
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
