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

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?

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

Breathing in ageing: how fine particulate air pollution disrupts brain cell homeostasis.

Project Description. Air pollution is one of the greatest environmental threats to human health. 99% of the world’s population lives where air quality exceeds WHO guidelines, which contributes to accelerated ageing, increased mortality and reduced health span [1–3]. Read more

Different but moving together: Mechanisms of heterogenous collective cell migration

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

Translational regulation by alternate transcript isoforms

How does a cell regulate the amount of protein made from a gene? While transcriptional regulation is extensively studied, the rules governing translation efficiency, how effectively an mRNA transcript is turned into protein, remains less well explored. Read more

Going Through a Phase: Decoding Surface Variation and Glycan Switching in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Bacterial surface structures dynamically remodel to survive host immune pressures. In Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a high-frequency genetic mechanism known as phase variation toggles surface protein and glycan expression ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’. Read more
