Understanding the ecological and evolutionary effects of heatwaves in tropical species and ecological communities
Heatwaves are considered one of the most threatening processes for our plants and animal species as the Earth’s climate warms. There is much to understand about how our species and the ecological communities they form will change and adapt through heatwaves. Read more
Behavioural adaptation to climate change in birds
It has been suggested that social species have evolved in harsh environmental conditions, allowing for successful reproduction and survival in environments where pairs alone cannot succeed. Read more
EASTBIO: Enhancing quantitative traits through genomic investigation of allelic haplotypes and configurations of candidate genes in potato cultivars
Background. Potato is one of the top important staple crops, however its increment of yield that attributed to genetic gain over the course of the breeding has been quite limited and negligible compared to other major crops. Read more
Surviving Perturbations: Quantitatively Understanding Microbial Community Robustness
The Project. Multispecies microbial communities can outperform single species in, for example, producing pharmaceuticals or fighting infections. Read more
Transferability of genetic risk scores for complex human diseases across diverse population groups
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been extremely successful in identifying DNA variants that are associated with a wide range of complex human traits and common diseases. Read more

Deciphering the regulation of forces and cell shape of the neuroepithelium during early development of the human brain.
Supervisors: . Dr Isabel Palacios . (SBBS, QMUL), . Dr Julien Gautrot. (SEMS, QMUL) and . Dr Keng Hwee Chiam. Read more
Cell signalling and gene expression dynamics in Drosophila
During Drosophila development, cell signalling and gene expression are regulated in space and time to allow the correct cell fate decisions. Read more
The impact of different ways of communicating about resilience on suicidal experiences
Suicidal experiences such as thoughts, urges, plans and attempts are associated with immense psychological pain and distress. Such experiences are far more prevalent in people who have severe mental health problems, including depression, anxiety and psychosis. Read more
Testing effect of environmental exposures on subsequent human generations
We are seeking a PhD candidate to join our research team in this exciting project funded by the Australian Research Council. The research group has conducted work within genetic epidemiology, focusing on pregnancy related exposures and outcomes. Read more
EASTBIO: Context is everything – how do plants organise receptor complexes to regulate growth, fight pathogens and mitigate environmental stress?
Climate change is one of the biggest threats to global food production, leading to unpredictable weather patterns and geographical migration of pathogens. Read more
Nanobody technology: feeding target authentication and mitigation strategies in crop protection.
Research Group:
Neurosciences
A 4-year BBSRC/UKRI and industry funded PhD focussed on the genetic and wider experimental tractability of the free-living C.elegans to develop nanobody technology to mitigate damaging agricultural effects of plant parasitic nematodes. Read more
Role of mitochondrial morphology in controlling mitochondrial DNA inheritance during Drosophila germline development
Mitochondria are small organelles primarily involved in energy production and cellular metabolism. They contain their own small circular genome, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Read more
