Bioelectrical control of epithelial cell behaviour
Bioelectrical behaviours, such as ion transport and action potential firing, are key features of “excitable” neuronal and muscle cells but are less well understood in “non-excitable” epithelial cells. Read more
The genetic and developmental control of complex nanostructure formation in butterfly wing scales
Butterfly wings are natural wonders, covered in colourful scales that are used for signaling, thermoregulation and to help with aerodynamic performance. Read more
Funded PhD NERC GW4+ DLTP - Power and politics in the animal world: African wasps as a model system
In this PhD, you will explore what makes the powerful powerful. Why do some animals dominate others, and how do they stay in power? You will turn to one of the most fascinating social organisms on the planet. Read more
Deep Learning for Process Control and Predictive Capability for Laser Machining
Supervisory Team: Ben Mills, James Grant-Jacob. Project description. Advances in lasers now allow the laser-based processing of almost any material. Read more
Unravelling seasonal dynamics of arthropod predator-prey networks by genomic approach in flower strip mediated rice agroecosystems
Predator-prey network forms the backbones of ecosystem, and detailed knowledge of predator-prey interaction can enhance understanding of the community and its supporting ecosystem service like pest control. Read more
Exploring the interplay between ageing, gut microbiome, and neurodegenerative diseases
Project Overview. Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease represent major health risks in ageing societies. Read more
The regulation of platelet function - towards new strategies to prevent thrombosis
Project Overview. Platelets perform a pivotal role in the regulation of haemostasis, a physiological response to injury that prevents excessive bleeding. Read more
Multilevel selection on transposition rates in cancer
Cancer is an evolutionary process. Cells in a tumour vary due to mutation, and so over many generations they adapt in response to both intrinsic selective pressures (such as anoxia) and extrinsic selective pressures (such as chemotherapy). Read more
EastBio: Revealing gene networks that control cereal development
All cereal crops are grasses, meaning that the grass family provides more than 50% of global calories. The grass leaf underpins this crucial productivity and yet we do not understand the gene regulatory networks that control its development. Read more
Discovering the gene regulatory networks that control cereal development
All cereal crops are grasses, meaning that the grass family provides more than 50% of global calories. The grass leaf underpins this crucial productivity and yet we do not understand the gene regulatory networks that control its development. Read more
How GABA neurones in the DVC control glucose metabolism
The Dorsal Vagal Complex (DVC) of the brain is an important regulator of glucose metabolism and food intake. The Nucleus of the Solitary Tract (NTS) in the DVC senses insulin and triggers a neuronal relay to decrease hepatic glucose production (HPG) in rodents. Read more
Funded PhD open to UK-domiciled, home fee applicants of Black African, Black Caribbean or other Black or mixed Black heritage - Multifunctional flower strips and insect support in a changing climate.
Climate change is leading to warming winters in temperate regions. As a result, many beneficial insects are no longer entering into a winter diapause and are instead remaining winter-active. Read more
Exploring Non-Canonical Ubiquitination and Its Biological Roles
Ubiquitination is a fundamental post-translational modification (PTM) crucial for a wide range of cellular processes, including protein degradation, localization, quality control, DNA repair, cell signaling, and immune responses. Read more
Deciphering morphogenesis of early human brain development in health and disease
Primary Supervisor: Dr Isabel Palacios. Co-Supervisor(s): Dr Julien Gautrot (SEMS). Funding: China Scholarship Council (CSC). Read more
Funded PhD - Architectural immunity in ants
Human and animal societies function as complex systems, whose properties emerge from who individuals interact with, where, and when. Read more
