The student will have the opportunity to work on a project analysing data from large-scale longitudinal and developmental cohorts with a focus on infant and child phenotypes. Read more
Fungi have beneficial but also detrimental properties. They are used for the production of foodstuffs and valuable pharmaceuticals and enzymes. Read more
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been extremely successful in identifying DNA variants that are associated with a wide range of complex human traits and common diseases. Read more
Plant form is shaped by both genetics and environment; changes in response to temperature can be the most dramatic of all. Many plants synchronize flowering with spring by sensing and storing an epigenetic ‘memory’ of cold, which then affects the timing, morphology and productivity of the inflorescence produced.

The MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit at the University of Bristol is the leading group for the development and application of causal analysis and evidence triangulation in health research to improve lives. Read more
This project is part of the DPhil in Biology at the University of Oxford. Seeds and pods communicate to coordinate reproductive development from fertilisation to seed maturation. Read more
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
Background. Anxiety disorders are becoming increasingly common, with the incidence of chronic anxiety increasing by 50% in the past 20 years, particularly among young adults. Read more
Our previous work on the genetic analysis of individuals with the inherited retinal disease Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy (FEVR), has helped identify a new angiogenesis pathway, the Norrin/beta-catenin pathway. Read more
The optic nerve is a special sensory nerve that transmits visual impulses from the retina to the brain. Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) is a chronic, progressive optic neuropathy of multifactorial origin that affects 1 in 10 elderly individuals. Read more
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is an inherited condition, where patients exposed to anaesthetic drugs are susceptible to a dramatic hyperthermic and hypermetabolic response that can contribute to a significant proportion of post-operative morbidity and deaths. Read more
Developmental eye defects that affect the front of the eye give rise to a spectrum of congenital ocular phenotypes that affect the cornea, lens, iris, trabecular meshwork or the globe itself. Read more
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a small lipid molecule frequently elevated during inflammation and cancer through increased synthesis by cyclo-oxygenase 2 (COX-2). Read more
