Neural circuitry underlying goal directed search behaviour in Drosophila larvae
Dr C Larsen, Dr M Meyer
Applications accepted all year round
Animals including humans make choices continuously based in past experience, present sensory input and internal state. A major goal in neuroscience is to identify the neural circuits underlying goal directed choices and to elucidate the neural computation driving goal orientated behaviour.
Links between animal behaviour, health and welfare
Dr SDE Held
Applications accepted all year round
An animal’s behaviour both causes and reflects changes in its health and welfare. The biological processes underlying these relationships are increasingly well understood in humans.
Investigating Cryptosporidium host-parasite interactions
Dr A Tsaousis
Application Deadline:
20 March 2019
Cryptosporidium is a single-celled intracellular eukaryotic parasite infecting nearly all animals. Members of this group are also opportunistic parasites of immunocompromised humans, causing cryptosporidiosis, the second most prevalent diarrhoeal disease in children.
Modelling the deformation of cells
Dr F Perez-Reche
Applications accepted all year round
Cells are the elementary building blocks of living organisms. The correct functioning of living organisms is therefore conditioned to the ability of living cells to withstand forces and deformations and to promptly adapt to their mechanical environment.
