Exploring The Utility of Transcriptomics Data in Toxicology
One of the challenges for the future of agriculture is to sustainable increase food production, using only the same or ideally less land area, to provide the quality and quantity required to meet the needs of an increasingly affluent & growing human population and simultaneously mitigating climate change and protecting or regenerating biodiversity.

Assessment of the impacts of regulatory anaerobic crop protection product degradation protocols on soil microbial communities to determine the variation between laboratory and field DT50 trials. (ref: RDFC22/HLS/APP/SHERRY)
Microbial communities are key drivers of soil biogeochemical cycling providing numerous critical ecosystem services and are key contributors to the global response to climate change [1]. Read more
Sustainable urban horticulture: managing soils for nutritional crops
Our research has demonstrated that there is potentially enough land in UK urban areas for urban horticulture to make an important contribution to UK fruit and vegetable production1. Read more
Photolysis reaction mechanisms with emerging and new technologies
Background. Photochemistry controls a vast array of the natural and man-made processes known to science. photosynthesis, atmospheric and combustion chemistry, plasma technology, solar energy. 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

Biological management of the potato cyst nematode
The potato is one of the UK’s most valuable arable crops and represents a market worth £4.1 billion annually. However, growers face major challenges in sustaining high yields and crop quality. Read more
Know your enemy: a mathematical framework for competition in bacterial communities
Bacteria are found in almost every facet of the natural and manmade worlds. Nearly all bacteria live in biofilms. Biofilms are social communities of microbial cells that underpin diverse processes including sewage bioremediation, plant growth promotion and plant protection, chronic infections and industrial biofouling.

Removing organic contaminants from drinking water; testing the effectiveness of a novel water treatment technology
Research Group:
Molecular Environmental Sciences
Although the United Nations General Assembly, through resolution 64/292, explicitly recognized the human right to water and acknowledged that clean drinking water is essential to the realisation of all human rights, still around 663 million people worldwide lack access to an improved water source, making this one of the biggest environmental problems of our time.

Algae Feedstock for Food Security
There is an urgent need to find innovative and sustainable solutions to meet the demands of feeding the growing global population. Read more
Development of materials for environmental monitoring and remediation
. A healthy environment brings enormous benefits, however, our current lifestyle causes continuous release of a broad range of harmful contaminants. Read more
Live Plants Imaging: investigating signalling and response mechanisms
To achieve food security, we can improve the efficiency of food production while reducing the use and cost of pesticides. To tackle both challenges, efficiency and cost, we propose to select crop varieties that are more resilient against pests and diseases. Read more
