The gut microbiome is integral to the development of a normal immune system (Gensollen et al 2016). Disruption to the microbiome during early life – e.g, via antimicrobials, milk replacer, different diets - has long-lasting impacts on immune function in animals. Read more
Notch is one of the major highly conserved signalling pathways that regulate cell-cell communication which involves gene regulation mechanisms that control multiple processes during development and adult life, including cell fate specification within progenitors. . Read more

Circadian clocks are present in most tissues and cells throughout the body, and have a crucial role in health and disease. Removal of clock factors can cause dysfunction. Read more
The formation of the brain involves a complex choreography of events and players during development. While this process is continuous, there are however critical periods in which this process is particularly susceptible to perturbations. Read more
This project represents a unique opportunity to undertake a fully funded PhD studentship, sponsored by BP (subject to contract) in the broad area of electric vehicle (EV) battery sustainability and circular economy. Read more
The overarching goal of our research is to identify and characterise the protein kinase signalling pathways that control stem cell pluripotency and differentiation and determine how protein kinase signalling is disrupted to cause human developmental disorders. . Read more
Pests and diseases are a major threat to food security with losses ranging between 20-40%. Aphids are one of the most devastating insect pests, globally. Read more
Many drugs that are developed experimentally against pathogens fail, and one of the most common causes is due to an inability to efficiently enter the cell. Read more
ADP-ribosylation is a fundamental posttranslational modification where ADP-ribose is linked on to target proteins by ADP-ribose transferases and removed by the ADP-ribose hydrolases. Read more
An efficient source of renewable energy, which is increasingly the preferred solution for realising the UK’s short- and long-term energy demand, is offshore wind. Read more
