Moving softly: how the interplay of neuronal circuits and biomechanics enables complex movement in soft-bodied animals

Soft bodied animals can radically change their body shape, squeeze through cracks, then crawl, roll, tunnel, or even jump. Controlling soft bodies is difficult because they have highly non-linear physical properties and virtually unlimited degrees of freedom. Read more

Adaptation to environmental change in animals: ecology, evolution and genomics.

How are animals able to live in different environments, with different temperatures, energetic demands, diet, predators, parasites or pH? Thanks to advances in gene sequencing technology, we are in a remarkable period of discovery about the genomic basis of adaptation and how this depends on the intricacies of ecology and environment.

Antimicrobial resistance dynamics and antimicrobial use in wildlife rehabilitation facilities in the United Kingdom

Supervisors. Dr Fernando Sanchez-Vizcaino Buendia (primary supervisor), Dr Irene Bueno. Background. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest global public health threats of the 21st century (Prestinaci et al. Read more

The Biosynthesis of Neurotransmitter Molecules: An evolutionary perspective

We research the evolutionary origins of the biosynthesis of biochemicals that are important to human health and wellbeing. Neurotransmission is in many ways the defining characteristic of animals, which are multicellular organisms that can sense changes in their environment and react quickly. Read more

Development of lung in vitro model to assess antimicrobial activity

When developing new inhaled antibiotics to treat lung infections, they will need to be tested before being given to humans. Current methods to test inhaled antibiotics are based on animals which are both inhumane and lack efficacy. Read more

Uncovering anti-arrhythmic potential of stellate ganglion purinergic receptors.

Background. Cardiovascular disease affects over 30% of people worldwide, and is one of the leading causes of death each year. Elevated sympathetic nerve activity is a common feature of cardiovascular disease, contributing to end-organ damage, morbidity and mortality [1-3]. Read more
