The role of the immune system in women’s reproductive health
The human endometrium is a highly dynamic tissue that rapidly regenerates over approximately 20 days and differentiates to form a uterus lining receptive to embryo implantation, further transforming into decidua to support embryonic development, or breaking down before regenerating a few days later.

Sex and Reproduction During the Evolution of Apes
. Reproduction is the prime imperative for species and even helps define life itself. For humans, reproductive biology, mating behaviours, and parenting overlap in profound and complex ways throughout our lives. Read more
Characterising male reproductive tissues for the development of accurate preclinical models
Project. This project is seeking to recruit a PhD candidate to work as part of an ERC Starting Grant funded project (alongside two postdoctoral researchers and three other PhD candidates). Read more
Investigating the structural and molecular mechanisms of male fertility by cryo EM
In this project you will study the structure and function of macromolecular complexes found in male Drosophila seminal fluid that are essential for fertility. Read more
Redefining the use of steroids in endometriosis: key mechanisms and new solutions
Endometriosis is a debilitating condition that affects an estimated 190 million women of reproductive-age worldwide [1]. In endometriosis, cells similar to the lining of the uterus typically form lesions around the bowel, ovaries and bladder, causing chronic inflammation and scarring. Read more

The role of plant metallothioneins in drought tolerance and zinc seed filling
Minerals are essential for all organisms, including plants and animals. It is estimated that over 2 billion people suffer from micronutrient deficiency, with severe health and socio-economical consequences. Read more

Elucidating mechanisms of chromosome mis-segregation and aneuploidy in mammalian eggs and embryos
This project is available through the MIBTP programme. The successful applicant will join the MIBTP cohort and will take part in all of the training offered by the programme. Read more
Making multiple sperm types in the same testis - Transcriptional control of sperm heteromorphy
*Please note that this project can be completed as a PhD or MPhil*. Normal sperm production and function is critical for reproduction and thus species survival. Read more
Modelling scar formation in endometriosis
This opportunity will remain open until the position has been filled and so early applications are encouraged. Endometriosis affects 10-15% of women during their reproductive years and is often associated with debilitating pelvic pain and impaired fertility. Read more
Environmental Effects on Inbreeding Depression (Distance Learning Project)
Background. Inbreeding is an important issue in evolutionary biology and ecology because of its profound implications for genetic variation and the evolution of mating systems and reproductive strategies. Read more
Nitrate supplementation in pregnancy: maternal, fetal and offspring outcomes
Maternal diet has a significant impact of on fetal growth and development, as well as pregnancy outcomes and long-term offspring health. Dietary patterns… Read more
Evolution of ecological and species diversity in freshwater fishes
Ecological, morphological and evolutionary diversification among sympatric individuals often reflects divergent selective pressures along environmental gradients. Read more
How do hormones regulate memory?
Deficiencies of thyroid hormone are common throughout the globe. Adult-onset hypothyroidism is prevalent in around 8-10% of the population and is associated with reproductive disorders, anxiety, depression, and impairment of memory. Read more
De Novo Mutations and Human Disease
De novo mutations (DNMs) are a significant contributor to human disease, affecting ~1:300 new births. We study the mechanisms by which these spontaneous mutations arise in the first instance, concentrating on the tissue where most originate, the human testis. Read more
