Accelerating molecular phylogenetic inference using high performance computing.
Molecular phylogenetic inference, constructing evolutionary histories from molecular data, is an activity universal to all biological disciplines. Read more
The evolution of mating systems and parental care: phylogenetic analyses
Mating systems and parental care are some of the most variable social traits. The project uses vertebrate diversity to understand the evolution of breeding system variation in fishes, amphibians, reptiles birds and mammals. Read more
Algorithms to help make Darwin's dream a reality (HUBERK_U23CMP)
The emergence of antibiotics resistance in bacteria and new organisms such as the zika virus [i] has major ramifications for public health. Read more
Novel AI methods for zoonotic disease prevention and prediction - Host association studies of Salmonella Typhimurium using Machine Learning
In this PhD project you will join a Government-Academia collaborative project to develop novel computational approaches to detect and predict a type of infectious diseases termed zoonotic disease that can be transmitted between species, from animals to humans (and vice-versa). . Read more
Testing the accuracy of evolutionary inferences from morphological phylogeny
Research Group:
Interdisciplinary Centre for Ancient Life
Phylogenetic data are fundamental for understanding evolution. Building and analysing trees from genotypic and phenotypic data is necessary to reconstruct evolutionary relationships, diversifications, rates, and dynamics. Read more
Evolutionary Perspectives on Medicinal Plant Use
Project Overview. This project uses phylogenetic comparative methods to characterise medicinal plant use. You will use published data to identify the ethnobotanical uses of selected species, and the extent to which they are characterised in terms of phytochemistry and pharmacology. Read more
Computational identification of genomic threats pathogenetic bacteria using machine learning (MOULTONV_U23CMP)
Infectious diseases present a significant threat to the health of the UK population and economy, accounting for 1 in every 14 deaths and with overall annual costs estimated at £30bn each year. Read more
iCASE ‘MRC23IIAREx Developing novel microfluidic platforms for antibiotic discovery
Project Summary. Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most pressing public health challenges and threatens the ability to effectively fight infectious diseases, with around 10 million people predicted to die annually of infections by 2050. Read more
Pathogen surveillance from wastewater using real-time nanopore sequencing
Genomic surveillance from wastewater was used successfully during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic to inform public health measures by monitoring case numbers and the emergence of new variants. Read more

The neurobiological bases of the Cambrian explosion.
Project Highlights. · Nervous system. · Phylogeny. · Metazoa. · Monoamines. Overview. While it is well established that the Cambrian explosion required a radical change in animal behaviour (e.g. Read more
Evolving Threat Detector: Automatic Detection of Novel and Emerging Antimicrobial Resistance Using Multi-Modal Data
Description. The main aim of this PhD project is the development and evaluation of methods for automatically identifying emerging and evolving antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. Read more
Effects of forest diversity on aquatic-terrestrial linkages and processes
Tree species, functional and genetic diversity is known to mediate ecosystem processes and functioning of the forest ecosystems. However, forest ecosystems are connected to other ecosystems through the flow of species, energy and elements. Read more

Investigating human-wildlife movements in Britain’s biogeographic history: A case study in red deer
Background. During the Last Glacial, the British and Irish Ice Sheet covered the majority of the North Atlantic Archipelago. Read more
Development and Evolution of Shapes: Investigating the genetic pathways governing the leaf shape in Arabidopsis
The shapes and sizes of organisms and organs are scrupulously conserved within a species. What regulates the shapes and sizes of organisms and their lateral organs are intriguing and fundamental questions in Biology. Read more
Antimicrobial resistance dynamics and antimicrobial use in wildlife rehabilitation facilities in the United Kingdom
Supervisors. Dr Fernando Sanchez-Vizcaino Buendia (primary supervisor), Dr Irene Bueno. Background. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest global public health threats of the 21st century (Prestinaci et al. Read more
