Sex Determination and the Extinction Vortex

University of Leicester

College of Life Sciences

Research Group: Genetics

This PhD will investigate whether the risk of extinction in Hymenoptera is greater than most other insect species because of a synergistic interaction between extrinsically driven decline and an intrinsic factor, their mechanism of sex determination. Read more

Why do we get sick when we are stressed?

University of Leicester

Department of Respiratory Sciences

Hypothesis. We hypothesise that host stress, via catecholamine stress hormones (norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine), plays a critical role in triggering the transition of Streptococcus pneumoniae from a benign coloniser in the nasopharynx to an invasive pathogen. Read more
