Natural toxins and their synthetic analogues as tools to study ion channels and as potential drugs and pesticides
The project will use a combination of electrophysiological techniques such as voltage-clamp and patch-clamp with molecular biology and protein expression to understand how natural toxins and their synthetic analogues act on ion channels in the nervous system. Read more
The cost of highly hazardous pesticide self-poisoning in India
Over 700,000 people die by suicide annually and 80% of these deaths occurring in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Suicide by pesticide ingestion is the second most common means of suicide globally - 10-20% of all suicide deaths are by pesticide self-poisoning. Read more

Manipulating the plant phyllosphere microbiome for plant and environmental health.
Healthy plants, like all higher organisms, host an extensive commensal microbial community or microbiome. Non-pathogenic microbes in many cases benefit the host. Read more
Establishing a Chitin Synthesis Reporter Assay for Pesticide Research
Agriculture is reliant on the chemical control of insect pests and fungal pathogens to ensure crop productivity. However, in recent years there has been an increase in resistance to chemical control amongst pest populations, leading to a loss of efficacy of previously effective control measures. Read more

Population genomics of insect communities
Declines in insect populations and species are arguably one of the most concerning symptoms of the biodiversity crisis, given their importance in underpinning food webs and ecosystem processes. Read more
Processing biomass waste for remediation of polluted waters through targeted engineered nanoparticles and nanomaterials (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/GIRON)
Humans are significantly transforming the Earth’s ecosystem by generating waste that leads to contamination of land surface and water, among other environmental problems. Read more
Impacts of disease (chytridiomycosis) and environmental contaminants on wildlife conservation (amphibians)
Wildlife are in peril due to numerous threatening processes. Amphibians (especially frogs) are the most endangered Class of Vertebrates. Read more
