Combining Synthetic Biology and Modelling to Understand and Predict Evolution
Mutations, and their effects on organismal fitness, lie at the heart of understanding and predicting evolution. Because of its central role in determining evolutionary outcomes, much experimental and theoretical effort has been put into describing the fitness effects of mutations. Read more
Investigation of a Novel Regulator of Plant Yield and Fitness in Plants
Autophagy is an incredibly important and highly conserved process across eukaryotes and involves the regulated destruction of unnecessary or damaged components within the cell. Read more
Assessing the impacts of targeting mRNA translation machinery on metabolic fitness and treatment response of glioblastoma cancer cells
Research Group:
The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research
The current standards of care for glioblastoma are rarely curative, highlighting the urgent need for a better understanding of its biology to enhance the development of innovative therapeutic approaches. . Read more
Killing time! How circadian immunity and resource availability interact during malaria infections
Research Group:
Edinburgh Infectious Diseases
Project offered for Ker Memorial PhD Studentship in Infectious Diseases. Malaria infections famously run like clockwork. When synchronous parasite replication within red blood cells completes and progeny are released, fever is triggered and recurs at intervals of 24, 48, or 72 hours, depending on the Plasmodium species.

Breaking bad: Evolution by loss-of-function
Paradoxically, the first step adaptation to a new environment often involves losing genes, rather than gaining new ones—a phenomenon observed across the tree of life. Read more
Testing Robotics and Autonomous Systems Using Search-based Techniques
Research Group:
Applied Computing
Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) are becoming indispensable for human productivity and it is estimated that there will be a £13 billion global market for RAS by 2025. Read more
Musculoskeletal health in children
Poor musculoskeletal health is one of the greatest health burdens in Tasmania and worldwide. It is often perceived that poor health is all about aging, but nothing is less true. Read more
Understanding the ecological and evolutionary effects of heatwaves in tropical species and ecological communities
Heatwaves are considered one of the most threatening processes for our plants and animal species as the Earth’s climate warms. There is much to understand about how our species and the ecological communities they form will change and adapt through heatwaves. Read more
Explainability of Agent-based Models as a Tool for Validation and Exploration
This project is part of a unique cohort based 4-year fully-funded PhD programme at the. UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Safe and Trusted AI. Read more
Stress responses in crops and sustainable production of chemicals and biomass
The project aims at elucidating several aspects of the control of plant stress responses to identify environmentally friendly forms of plant protectants and phytopharmaceuticals, leading to enhanced crop yields and solutions for animals and human health. Read more
A platform to investigate multi-tissue crosstalk mediated by exercise induced soluble factors released from human skeletal muscle
The benefits of exercise are well documented, whereby people regularly undertaking some form of physical activity score highly in measures of fitness, health and mental wellbeing. Read more
