Non-target impacts of biological control: what are the ecological consequences of releasing a non-native parasitoid wasp in the UK?
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Biological invasions are a major consequence of human trade and environmental change, and also one of the main threats to global biodiversity (Strayer 2012). Read more
MScR: Understanding the consequences of unpredictable cold stress events on a beneficial insect and the implications for natural pest control in agricultural landscapes
The earth is currently experiencing rapid changes in climate. As ectotherms, insects are highly susceptible to temperature change, with temperature impacting all aspects of their fitness. Read more
Novel stochastic control method for a class of complex networks
Complex systems, which contain large ensembles of elements interacting with each other and are affected by noises and uncertainties, have become one of the major research fields due to their presence in the real life. Read more
Computational Modelling and Control of Nonlinear and Fluidic Systems with Application to Immunology
Our laboratory specializes in the use of optimization-based methods to model, analyze and control uncertain, nonlinear and fluidic (PDE) systems. Read more
Oscillations in biological systems
Living systems are complex and are based on the basic building blocks of genes, proteins, chemical reactions, and physical forces. Read more
Transcriptional control of vascular development
Sprouting of new capillaries from pre-existing vessels (angiogenesis) promotes the formation of almost all blood vessels during development, growth and tissue regeneration. Read more
Intelligent Microrobots for Biomedical Applications
Brief Overview. We are excited to announce a funded studentship for a dedicated PhD candidate who wishes to contribute to pioneering research at the intersection of microrobotics and biomedicine. Read more
Design and Control of Agile Fingertips for Dexterous Manipulation
Research Journey. Join us on an exciting research journey where you will explore unconventional grasping strategies using agile fingertips. Read more
Proteomic analyses of adhesion signalling in cancer
Why adhesion? Cell surface adhesion receptors play key roles in the control of cell movement, survival, division and differentiation. Read more
Developing Circularity: The industrialisation of technologies for biological polishing of wastewater
Treatment of wastewater is an essential process for water reuse in municipal, agricultural and industrial processes. Read more
Computational Light Microscopy — Making the Invisible Visible
Light is a most versatile tool to study life. Optical microscopy opens a unique window into the inner workings of biological development without interfering with its delicate processes. Read more
Developing a novel cancer vaccine for low mutation burden tumours derived from the non-coding genome
Our laboratory aims to understand how mutation in tumour suppressors and oncogenes causes cancer. We focus on understanding the biochemical basis of oncogene and tumour suppressor activity in order to develop new cancer therapies. Read more
Control and inhibition of virus replication
The Tuplin laboratory utilises a range of cutting-edge approaches to investigate how arboviruses - specifically Chikungunya, Dengue and Zika viruses - control replication and translation of their genomes through interactions between RNA structures, host cell proteins and non-coding RNA, and the potential of such RNA elements/interactions as novel therapeutic targets.

FULLY FUNDED PhD - Design of Next Generation Controlled Environment Systems for Optimised Plant Growth
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Background. Over a century of research has generated a detailed understanding of how plants perceive and adapt to changes in environmental conditions, with vegetative growth, flowering time, and grain yield each dependent upon light, humidity and temperature conditions. Read more
Fully-funded White Rose BBSRC DTP Biology project: Deciphering how GSK-3β activity is coordinated in time and space to control neuronal development
Lead supervisor. Dr Ines Hahn. Co-supervisors. Dr Peter O'Toole and Dr Gareth Evans. The student will be registered with the Department of Biology. Read more
