eastbio PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 12 eastbio PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
EASTBIO: Development of an in vitro culture system generating chicken dendritic cells
Dendritic cells (DCs) are key antigen-presenting cells that serve as pivotal regulators in both adaptive and cell-mediated immunity. Read more
EASTBIO: Using CRISPR technologies towards the identification of host genes underpinning the zoonotic potential of avian influenza
Influenza A virus circulates globally in migratory wild aquatic birds, frequently but unpredictably spilling over into domestic poultry, causing huge economic burden. Read more
EASTBIO: Evaluation of the efficiency of commercial rations in UK dairy farms
The ability of ruminants to turn human-inedible products into human-edible products is of large significance in terms of global food security. Read more
EASTBIO: Exploring Interactions between Mussels and Pathogenic Vibrio for Enhanced Shellfish Health and Food Safety
A unique opportunity to advance sustainable aquaculture through an innovative study on mussel health and food safety. This project explores how pathogenic Vibrio bacteria interact with mussel (Mytilus spp.) immune responses, with the potential to improve the resilience of farmed shellfish against infectious diseases. Read more
EASTBIO: Closing the genotype-to-phenotype gap: leveraging multi-omics data to transform precision selection in pigs
In contemporary livestock breeding, quantitative genetics models are used to select breeding animals to enhance productivity, reproduction and health. Read more
EASTBIO: Determining the requirement for heterotypic Cadherin expression in fusing epithelia during embryonic development
This project aims to understand the requirement for heterotypic Cadherin expression in tissue fusion during embryonic development. Read more
EASTBIO: Investigating the effect of zinc oxide on the gut microbiome, post-weaning disease, and AMR in pigs
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated candidate to investigate the impact of zinc removal from piglet diet on the composition, diversity and development of the faecal microbiome, from weaning through to finisher life stages. Read more
EASTBIO: Building Resilience in Farm Animals: Neurobiological Insights from Environmental Enrichment in Pigs
Resilience is the capacity of an organism to adapt to and recover from adversity. In domestic animals including the pig there is growing interest in the role of environmental enrichment in increasing resilience to physical and psychological challenges. Read more
EASTBIO: Co-infection, metabolism and lamb survival: an investigation into the factors that underpin sustainable lamb production in UK sheep flocks
Improving lamb survival is a key priority for the UK sheep industry, as it strives to enhance animal welfare, environmental sustainability and profitability. Read more
EASTBIO: Genetic regulation of crustacean shell colour patterning
Shell colour patterning in crustaceans is fundamental to providing them protective camouflage that has likely led to their success in many marine environments. Read more
EASTBIO: Prediction of capsule type to improve efficacy of phage cocktails for eradication of multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli from the gastrointestinal tract of colonised livestock species
Escherichia coli is ubiquitously found in the gastrointestinal tract of healthy animals but is also responsible for a diverse range of intestinal and extraintestinal infections both in animals and humans. Read more
EASTBIO: MegaPhase: Pedigree phasing and imputation for mega-scale whole genome sequence data
This project will develop new methods and software for phasing and imputation of whole-genome sequence data in pedigreed populations. Read more
