Quantifying the likelihood of persistent extreme weather events in a changing climate

University of Exeter
Mathematics and Statistics
Background. Persistent extreme weather events such as heatwaves, cold snaps, or particularly rainy and/or stormy seasons have huge socio-economic impact; estimating the probabilities of their occurrence which can inform assessments of health or flood risks is therefore an important task. Read more

Eastbio: Molecular basis of viral superinfection exclusion

University of St Andrews
School of Biology
Background. Viral superinfection exclusion (SIE) occurs when a virus that has successfully established infection in a host cell subsequently prevents further infection by the same, or closely related viruses. Read more

Are forests becoming more vulnerable to climate extremes?

University of Exeter
Mathematics and Statistics
Background. Forests absorb ~30% of the carbon dioxide (CO2) humans emit each year, making them one of the most important natural brakes on climate change. Read more

Eastbio: FoxP2 in Flight: Transgenic Bats and the Molecular Genetics of Speech and Language

University of St Andrews
School of Biology
Have you ever wondered how humans evolved the ability to speak to one another, which other animals share that ability, or how it is encoded in our genes and the brain? Our lab aims to answer these questions by studying vocal learning, the ability to modify vocalisations through experience, which underlies human speech and is found in only a handful of other species.

Interpretable probabilistic AI for quantifying climate impacts on health

University of Exeter
Mathematics and Statistics
Background. Climate change is affecting human health, but evidencing how and by how much, is a challenge. The effects are often indirect, driven by interacting factors like temperature and air quality, while health data are frequently patchy or incomplete. Read more

Eastbio: Design, synthesis, and mechanism of action of inhibitors of the human enzyme 2′-deoxynucleoside 5′-phosphate N-hydrolase 1

University of St Andrews
School of Biology
The human enzyme 2′-deoxynucleoside 5′-phosphate N-hydrolase 1 (DNPH1) catalyses the N-ribosidic bond hydrolysis of the noncanonical nucleotide 5-hydroxymethyl-2′-deoxyuridine 5′-monophosphate, producing 5-hydroxymethyluracil and 2-deoxyribose 5-phosphate. Read more
