Project at Queen's University Belfast: Climate-Friendly Beef: Long-Term Assessment of Methane Inhibitors
Livestock contributes 30% of methane released into the atmosphere, more than any other single source. The UK Committee on Climate Change (2020) has recommended a 64% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, as necessary, to meet the 2050 targets. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast: Rethinking Animal Farming for Healthy Diets and a Healthy Planet
Foods like meat, milk, and eggs are a big part of many people’s diets. They provide protein and important nutrients that help us stay healthy. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast: Exploring the North Ronaldsay Sheep Microbiome: Unlocking Enzymes for Sustainable Agriculture and Biotechnology
Microalgae or seaweed-based livestock feed has shown promise in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Read more
A One Health approach to vitamin D biofortification in pork
Research Group:
Biomedical Sciences
The PhD project addresses public health challenges related to vitamin D deficiency through novel biofortification processes with a strong focus on animal welfare. Read more
Project at University of Reading: Exploring the sensory and appetite-regulating potential of edible insects in adults with obesity
In 2023, 64% of adults in the UK were classified as overweight or obese, reflecting a rising trend in obesity rates. This places a significant strain on the NHS, which spends an estimated £19 billion annually on obesity-related health issues. Read more
NAPIC: Design and prototyping of a novel biosensor for measuring nutritional equivalence of plant based proteins
This fully funded PhD place provides an exciting opportunity to pursue postgraduate research in the fields of Chemistry and/or Biochemistry. Read more
Project at University of Reading: Designing next-generation plant-dairy hybrid ingredients to support gut health and immunity
Emerging evidence suggests that ‘hybrid’ or blended food matrices have the potential to introduce the next-generation of functional, healthy, and more sustainable food ingredients. Read more
NAPIC: Plant proteins as modulators of gut-brain axis and their contribution to metabolic health
This fully funded PhD place provides an exciting opportunity to pursue postgraduate research in a range of fields relating to Nutrition, Human Physiology and Cell Biology. Read more
NAPIC: Microbubbles stabilised by plant protein-polysaccharide complexes: from oral processing to rational design of sustainable food foams
One full scholarship is available in the School of Food Science and Nutrition in 2025/26. This scholarship is open to Home (UK, Ireland) and international applicants and covers UK tuition fees plus a maintenance grant (£19,237 in 2024/25) for full-time study. Read more

EastBio - Impact of the soil ecosystem on gastrointestinal nematodes of grazing sheep
Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) parasites of sheep have a profound impact on animal health and welfare and the sustainability of the industry. Read more
Cardiovascular and Neuromuscular Functions around the Clock: Harnessing Protective Endogenous Mechanisms towards Smarter Design of Novel Therapies and Interventions
Optimal tissue and organ is essential for long-term health and quality of life. One such important regulator within the body is related to circadian rhythms, which control ~24h cycles in many physiological processes such as sleep/wake cycles, physical activity/rest cycles, drug metabolism and hormones.
