How will changing fire reshape carbon storage in African savannas?

University of Sheffield
School of Biosciences
Terrestrial ecosystems absorb approximately a quarter of human CO₂ emissions, helping to slow climate change. Yet efforts to protect and enhance this carbon sink have focused heavily on forests, which are increasingly vulnerable to wildfire and other disturbances. Read more

UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: Deciphering S6K2 signalling networks at the interface of plant growth and environmental stress

Teesside University
BBSRC NEEDL DLA Partnership
How do plants decide whether to grow or survive when faced with environmental stress?. Plants constantly adjust their growth and metabolism in response to changing environmental conditions. Read more

Decode the Secret Language of Mistletoe

University of York
Department of Biology
Fully funded PhD studentship | YBDTP | Pallavi Singh Lab | CNAP, University of York. How does a parasitic plant persuade another plant to sustain it for decades? Mistletoe does something remarkable. Read more

UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: From condensates to infection: spatial phase behaviour of aggresomes in pathogenic Escherichia coli

Durham University
BBSRC NEEDL DLA Partnership
How do bacteria reorganise their internal molecular machinery within the complex environments of a biofilm or an infected host? This PhD will investigate remarkable bacterial “aggresomes” – dynamic biomolecular organelle condensates of protein and mRNA that form without surrounding membranes and are associated with stress tolerance, dormancy and antibiotic persistence (PMIDs.

UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: Mapping translational stress-signalling networks in plant tissues using Bio-orthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT)

Durham University
BBSRC NEEDL DLA Partnership
How does a plant coordinate a stress response across distinct cell types, and what signals link them? This project addresses that question using a genuinely new methodological approach. Read more

UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: Deciphering how ant-farmed plants break the rules of nitrogen uptake

Durham University
BBSRC NEEDL DLA Partnership
Every year we spread more nitrogen fertiliser on fields than crops can use. Over half washes into rivers or escapes to the atmosphere, and fixing that is one of the hardest problems in agriculture. Read more

Decoding photoperiodic flowering in sugar beet

University of York
Department of Biology
How does a plant know when the day is right to flower, and can we use that knowledge to build better crops? Sugar beet is an exceptional system for answering this question. Read more

Cracking the Ralstonia biofilm: discovering enzymes to protect crops from bacterial wilt

University of York
Department of Biology
Bacterial wilt is a devastating plant disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, a pathogen that infects more than 200 plant species, including important crops such as tomato and potato. Read more

Musculoskeletal and physiological responses to short-term vortex wave stimulation in older adults

University of Birmingham
School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences
Reductions in muscle mass and function are known to occur with ageing and disuse. While resistance exercise training is known to minimise these detrimental changes, it is not always feasible due to counterindications or personal preferences. Read more

Exercise-Induced Extracellular Vesicles and Tissue Crosstalk in Health

University of Birmingham
School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences
Exercise improves health throughout life, but the signals that coordinate adaptation between tissues remain poorly understood. Cells release small membrane-bound particles called extracellular vesicles into the circulation. Read more

How Does Heterogeneity in Antibiotic Accumulation Shape the Evolution of AMR?

University of Birmingham
Department of Immunology and Immunotherapy
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health threat. A key determinant of antibiotic efficacy is the intracellular drug concentration, yet our understanding of this parameter is largely based on population-level measurements that mask important cell-to-cell variability. Read more

EastBio: Investigating the dynamic regulation of tissue disassembly and death in vivo

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
Tissues and organs are not only built, they must also be dismantled and removed at the appropriate stage. Tissue disassembly and death are fundamental to normal development and physiology, while their disruption underlies developmental disorders and diseases such as cancer. Read more
