The sub-lethal impact of pesticides on foraging in bumblebees - linking landscape-scale behaviour change to molecular and physiological responses to understand the mechanism & mitigate its effects

University of Sheffield
School of Computer Science
The focus of the PhD is to understand the effects of pesticides on bees from a physiological perspective (differential gene-expression, metabolomics) and connecting this to behavioural changes in the field, by using a new landscape-scale tracking system, that allows us to track the bee as it forages, and record behaviour using an accelerometer.

How is genomic DNA packaged in the malaria parasite apicoplast organelle?

University of Sheffield
School of Biosciences
While it is common knowledge that DNA is the genetic material of all organisms, how this polymer, which is often 50 to 1000 times in length compared to the dimensions of the cell/nucleus, is organised to fit within a cell remains one of the major unanswered questions of cell biology. Read more

Different but moving together: Mechanisms of heterogenous collective cell migration

University of Sheffield
School of Biosciences
Collective cell migration is fundamental to embryonic development, tissue repair and cancer invasion. Much of what we know about this process comes from studying relatively uniform groups of cells. Read more

Life and death in the age of vancomycin: visualising how Clostridioides difficile survives antibiotic treatment at the single cell level.

University of Sheffield
School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences
What if giving a patient more antibiotic let more bacteria survive?. That is what happens with Clostridioides difficile, the human pathogen that kills more than 2,000 people every year in the UK alone. Read more

Engineering Stomatal Dynamics: Cell Wall Architecture, Remodelling and Deformation

University of Sheffield
School of Biosciences
How do plants control their stomata, the microscopic pores that determine how much CO₂ they take up and how much water they lose? Stomata open and close rapidly, requiring guard cells to undergo dramatic changes in shape and volume and the cell wall surrounding these cells must simultaneously be strong enough to constrain their shape and sufficiently dynamic to allow movement.

Uncovering the molecular mechanisms of PIKfyve complex regulation

University of Sheffield
School of Biosciences
How cells control how they process intracellular compartments is key to maintain normal function and defective trafficking is often the main cause of diseases such as neurodegeneration and cancer. Read more

Should I stay or should I go? How do immune cells know when to leave sites of tissue damage?

University of Sheffield
School of Medicine and Population Health
Cancer, neurodegeneration and COPD are all associated with chronic inflammation, leading to tissue damage and disease. However, failures of immune cells to respond or remain at injuries leaves patients exposed to infection and compromises regeneration. Read more
