EASTBIO: Next-generation technologies for the biosurveillance of marine invasive species.
Invasive species are one of the biggest causes of global biodiversity loss and species extinction, represent a major threat to food security and livelihoods, and are a potent vector in the emergence and spread of wildlife, livestock and human diseases. Read more
Ecosystem functioning: a Southern and Northern Hemisphere freshwater comparison
Project Background. Freshwater ecosystems provide key ecosystem services but are among the most threatened globally due to pollution, eutrophication, overexploitation, land-use change and invasive species (Dudgeon et al. Read more
Fish pass installation and weir removal effects on river ecosystems
River fragmentation due to the regulation of flows for water supply, navigation and energy is a major stressor impacting river ecosystems worldwide (Grill et al., 2019). Read more
Understanding extinction risk in the Anthropocene
We live in a humanized world in which even the most remote areas have been affected by the actions of our species. Human impacts have caused a widespread loss of biodiversity, to the point that we have likely entered the sixth mass extinction event on Earth, the first primarily caused by humans. Read more
PhD in Food Web Networks and Environmental Change: Exploring how natural and anthropogenic stress influence the structure and dynamics of communities.
The interactions among species define a food web network. In these networks, species have dynamics (e.g. numbers and biomass), the community has structure (e.g. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Using cognitive tests to predict effectiveness of detection dogs in human health and related contexts
Dogs play an increasingly important role in human health. Their acute sense of small is harnessed as they are trained to detect a range of medical conditions (e.g. Read more

Microbial Response to Global Change
In some from or fashion, every lifeform on Earth has been impacted by human activity, including microorganisms. Many of these microbes are involved in global biogeochemical cycling, breaking down or converting essential elements such as carbon and nitrogen. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast: Environmental DNA from Fasciola parasites as a novel biomarker to improve agriculture in the UK
Fasciola hepatica, usually termed "the temperate liver fluke", is found worldwide and causes disease known as fasciolosis. This infection caused by helminth parasites, primarily impacts on ruminant production, including within the UK and many other European countries. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Exploiting interkingdom bacterial- fungal chemical signaling to tackle antimicrobial resistant fungi
Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) remain an unresolved clinical issue that significantly impacts patients’ lives and global economies. Read more
How does Aspergillus fumigatus activate the inflammasome?
Invasive fungal infections are a major cause of mortality, with more people dying from the ten main invasive fungal diseases than from tuberculosis or malaria. Read more
Self Funded PhD project: Biological Evaluation of Ruthenium (II) complexes Targeted against Breast Cancers (BRUT BC)
MCF-7 cells are primary tumour invasive breast ductal carcinoma which have both oestrogen and progesterone receptors. Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) inhibits the growth of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Read more
Conservation of pollinator biodiversity and sustainable management of pollination services in agroecosystems
Wild and managed pollinators provide a wide range of benefits to society in terms of contributions to food security, farmer and beekeeper livelihoods, social and cultural values, as well as the maintenance of wider biodiversity and ecosystem stability. Read more
