A miRNA taming floral homeotic genes
Background. The floral structure significantly influences the interaction of angiosperms with their environment, not least because it defines the set of species by which plants are pollinated. Read more
Chemical Sensors for Small Robot Submarines
Supervisory Team. Dr Adrian Nightingale, Prof Blair Thornton, Prof Xize Niu. Project description. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs – “robot” submarines) offer an efficient way to perform tasks in remote marine locations. Read more
Life Cycle Assessment for Absolute Environmental Sustainability
Vacancy information. The Department of Chemical Engineering at UCL (. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/chemical-engineering/). is one of the top research and teaching departments in the UK, with world-class standing. Read more
The molecular basis of symbiosis establishment in beetles
Background. Beneficial symbioses with bacteria are widespread and important in insects, allowing them to exploit otherwise inaccessible ecological niches. Read more
Evolutionary significance of mixtures of defense chemicals in trophic interactions
Background. In many trophic (and parasitic) interactions, the prey organisms defend themselves by toxic compounds (defense chemicals). Read more
Genetic determination and phenotypic plasticity of color polymorphisms in grasshoppers
Background. All species are variable in coloration, but in some species, multiple discrete color variants coexist within local population. Read more
Impacts of disease (chytridiomycosis) and environmental contaminants on wildlife conservation (amphibians)
Wildlife are in peril due to numerous threatening processes. Amphibians (especially frogs) are the most endangered Class of Vertebrates. Read more
Give and take – substrate shuttling in microbial communities on macroalgae
Background. Diatoms are photosynthetic microalgae that contribute to approximately 20% of global CO. 2. fixation. These algae were for a long time considered as phototrophs using exclusively photosynthesis to serve their metabolic requirements. Read more
Structural basis of two-component system signaling
Background: . As bacteria explore new habitats, go to war with competitors or collaborate against common enemies, they rely heavily on intra- and interspecies communication and precise molecular scouting of their environment. Read more
Processing of olfactory and auditory cues in the insect brain
Background. As peripheral sensory organs, insect antenna detect multimodal environmental information. The receptor neurons that path information to the brain code for instance auditory, olfactory and hygro-thermosensitive information. Read more
Adapting SIRIUS and beyond for Electron Ionization fragmentation
Background. Mass spectrometry (MS) is the analytical platforms of choice for high-throughput screening of small molecules. MS is typically used in combination with a chromatographic separation technology; gas chromatography (GC-MS) is arguably still the best separation tool for compounds amenable to the technique. Read more
Fungal life in soil: attachment and microbial communication
Background. Fungi are drivers for soil bacterial community structure. At the same time, fungal hyphae are “highways” for bacterial movement in soil. Read more
Regulation of water and nutrient cycles with Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in a changing environment
Reference number. SCEBE-20-002-AGOSF. Aim & Scope. Climate change and population growth are threatening the quality and resilience of the Earth’s ecosystems. Read more
Self funded MSc By Research Project - Cooperation in wood ants: testing quality-distance trade-offs in resource-sharing networks
. Background. Many animals collect resources and defend them from others; in contrast, peaceful sharing of resources between groups is very rare. Read more
Development of an in vitro culture system to study the lung microcosm in airway diseases
Project Highlights. Characterise complex interactions of microbes and viruses within the lung microcosm. Gain mechanistic insight about the role of the lung microbiome as a driver of chronic airway diseases and their exacerbations. Read more
