Misfolded proteins represent a continuous threat to cell viability, which if allowed to accumulate can disrupt cellular function and induce cell death [1].

Background. Private water supplies (PWS) are a concern to public health, both globally and locally, as they are vulnerable to breakdown and subsequent ingress from agricultural run-off and septic tank failures, leading to potential consumption of microbial (and other) contaminants.
This exciting PhD opportunity will explore new methods to characterise water for process selection, optimisation and treatment. The effective removal of complex organics is of critical global importance in providing safe drinking water.
Massive parallel sequencing ("Next Generation" Sequencing, NGS) became the main method for analysis of DNA/RNA sequence and copy number changes in biological samples.
Background. The Dornoch Firth is Scotland’s least industrial Firth and a Marine Protected Area. Native oysters (Ostrea edulis) were fished-out in Europe in the 1800’s and are now a rare “missing” shellfish habitat of high nature conservation importance.
