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.

(EPSRC DTP) Capturing images projected on the retina in freely moving animals to understand visuomotor transformations in real life conditions
NATURE & SCOPE. Most of what we know about how the brain process visual information comes from studies in which animals are immobilised. Read more
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
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
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
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
Investigating the mechanistic effects of nutraceuticals on myoblast proliferation and differentiation for healthy muscle ageing and improved performance
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
Define the underlying mechanism of action of fertilised egg yolk as a nutritional supplement on muscle using an in vitro model and -omics technologies. Read more
Design and Synthesis of novel analogues of Hipposudoric Acid for therapeutic use
Research into novel antimicrobial agents has never been more pressing with the ever-increasing resistance towards traditional medications. 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

EPSRC DTP Project: New Manufacturing Processes and Materials for Shearing Blades
The department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath is inviting applications for the following fully funded PhD project, expected to commence in September/October 2023. Read more
The effect of developmental enrichment on personality, stress physiology and conflict management behaviour in a highly social fish
Group living offers many advantages for animals, including protection from predators and the opportunity to cooperate. However, as resources like food or reproductive opportunities are limited, group living often leads to conflict. Read more
