Using markers of gene evolutionary age to identify function within gene regulatory networks related to embryo implantation
Healthy ageing starts from conception. Environmental influences during early development affect the risk of developing chronic diseases in later life and impact a healthy ageing trajectory. Read more
Sex and Reproduction During the Evolution of Apes
. Reproduction is the prime imperative for species and even helps define life itself. For humans, reproductive biology, mating behaviours, and parenting overlap in profound and complex ways throughout our lives. Read more
Using synthetic biology to understand the evolution of antibiotic resistance
Imagine an architect, tasked with converting an old stadium into a building with a different function, without demolishing it. Read more
Research opportunities in the Department of Archaeology
The Department of Archaeology at York is a vibrant research community and a centre of excellent research-led teaching. Read more
The evolution of antimicrobial resistance in human infections
Antibiotics are our main defence against bacterial infections, but rising levels of resistance risks rendering antibiotics ineffective. Read more
De Novo Mutations and Human Disease
De novo mutations (DNMs) are a significant contributor to human disease, affecting ~1:300 new births. We study the mechanisms by which these spontaneous mutations arise in the first instance, concentrating on the tissue where most originate, the human testis. Read more

Predicting urban evolution by means of human cognitive characteristics
With rapid urbanisation around the globe, understanding of emergence mechanisms involved in both human behaviour and urban development is important. Read more
A multidisciplinary approach to understanding the evolution of human healthcare networks
Human healthcare networks are unique in the animal kingdom. While many species provide care to kin (genetic relatives), humans are the only species which also provide widespread, cooperative care to strangers (i.e., doctors, nurses). Read more
Cell biology and evolution of cancer metastasis
We are interested in the spread of cancer, a process called metastasis. Metastasis is responsible for the majority of cancer deaths and there are currently no effective treatments to stop this process. Read more
HFSP funded studentship on the evolution of insect sperm form and function
University of Lincoln is offering one fully-funded PhD studentship in connection to a three-year Human Frontiers Science Program project entitled “The evolution of sperm cell shape and motion”. Read more
PhD Studentship in Development of Human Gastric Process Computational Models for the Design of Foods with Optimised Nutrient Uptake and Satiety
The Food Consortium CTP is looking for a PhD candidate for the BBSRC funded project “Development of Human Gastric Process Computational Models for the Design of Foods with Optimised Nutrient Uptake and Satiety” based at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Imperial College London. Read more
Evolution of vertebrate blood vessels
The blood vessels are the core elements of the circulatory system of animals, and their malfunction is related to most human diseases including cancer and heart attacks. Read more
Autonomous Robot Evolution
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Nanoscience
This research will investigate the long-term vision of a technology enabling the evolution of entire autonomous robotic ecosystems that live and work… Read more
Agent-based cyber-physical production systems for Industry 4.0
This project aims to develop novel methods and software tools for the implementation of highly adaptive multi-agent systems for manufacturing control, applying plug-and-produce technology to cyber-physical systems. Read more
