Investigation and Characterisation of Cytochrome P450 enzymes in Mycobacteria Species
Mycobacteria are important pathogens in humans and other animals, and include Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB). Read more
Surviving Perturbations: Quantitatively Understanding Microbial Community Robustness
The Project. Multispecies microbial communities can outperform single species in, for example, producing pharmaceuticals or fighting infections. Read more
Durham Doctoral Teaching Fellowship: Carbon dioxide biology in sustainability and health
Background. The role of carbon dioxide in the history of life on Earth is unequivocal. Global carbon dioxide fixation by ancient bacteria, approximately 2½ billion years ago, generated the atmospheric oxygen that permitted the evolution of the Earth’s dizzying array of multicellular organisms. Read more
Dynamic lighting intervention to reduce falls and improve health in care home residents
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death in adults aged 65 or older. The additional economic impact of falls is immense. Read more
Elucidating the pathobiology of Candida albicans
The Hall lab is interested in understanding the biology and virulence factors of fungal pathogens. Our research largely focuses on the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans, which causes a range of infections from superficial mucosal infections (i.e. Read more
Novel AI methods for zoonotic disease prevention and prediction - Host association studies of Salmonella Typhimurium using Machine Learning
In this PhD project you will join a Government-Academia collaborative project to develop novel computational approaches to detect and predict a type of infectious diseases termed zoonotic disease that can be transmitted between species, from animals to humans (and vice-versa). . Read more
Epigenetic regulation of skin wound healing
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Skin in the largest organ in the human body consisting of epidermis, dermis and subcutis. It also contains epithelial appendages, including hair follicles and sweat glands. Read more
Analysis of pathogen determinants recognized by the hypervariable immune receptor Dscam
Background. To mount an immune response, host organisms must first recognize the pathogen with which they are infected. The first line of defense against pathogen infection in animals is provided through the innate immune response. Read more
Developing a drug screening platform for gregarines infecting shrimp
In collaboration with Skretting in Norway and Prof. Sonja Rueckert (University of Duisburg-Essen) we have a fully funded PhD studentship that will be based at the School of Biosciences at the University of Kent and is led by. Read more
Biological Sciences: Fully Funded PhD Scholarship: Behavioural Metrics of Welfare in Aquaculture
Funding providers: Swansea University's Faculty of Science and Engineering and VisiFish Ltd. Subject areas: Animal Welfare, Animal Domestication, Behavioural Indicators, Machine Vision, Artificial Intelligence. Read more
Building confidence in non-protected zebrafish embryo-larvae as a viable alternative to mammalian DART assessment.
Location. Biosciences, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Streatham Campus, University of Exeter. The NC3Rs, in collaboration with the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, is inviting applications for a fully-funded PhD studentship. Read more
Leverhulme Trust funded PhD Studentship in Psychology – A psychophysics and eye tracking approach to find visual features for human activity recognition
Overview. Are you interested in learning how the human brain understand people's activities in a scene much better than existing computer systems? It is proposed that people combine prior knowledge of scenes with visual features to understand complex activities (e.g., hugging vs fighting). . Read more
Pollen-Pistil communication strategies during plant reproduction: Acceptance or Rejection
Fertilization in higher plants is the result of a series of successful interactions between pollen and pistils of the same species. Read more
PhD in Food Web Networks and Environmental Change: Exploring how natural and anthropogenic stress influence the structure and dynamics of communities.
The interactions among species define a food web network. In these networks, species have dynamics (e.g. numbers and biomass), the community has structure (e.g. Read more
PhD studentship: Spatial transcriptomics and organismal novelty
Our lab is using multidisciplinary approaches to understand the evolution of animal bodyplans, organismal novelties and major evolutionary transitions. Read more
