EastBio - How Plants Breathe in a Warming World: Temperature Control of Stomata Development

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

Mean global temperatures have already risen by 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and could climb by another 4°C by 2100. Climate change is already affecting crop yields, and without effective mitigation, global yields of major crops could decline by as much as 36% by the end of the century. Read more

Role of non-canonical autophagy in liver lipid metabolism in response to unhealthy diets (BERAZA_Q27DTP)

Quadram Institute Bioscience

Graduate Programme

Obesity has epidemic proportions in the UK as more than 60% of adults are overweight and 33% have fatty liver. Poor dietary habits (western diets) are the main contributors to obesity and liver steatosis, where lipid accumulation becomes toxic for hepatocytes leading to cell death and consequent inflammation.
