OPTIMAL - Oxidative Potential of Source-ApportionedParticulate Matter and its Toxicological, Immunological and Epigenetic Signatures in Human Lung Cell Models

  Research Group: Environmental Research Group
Air pollution contributes to more than 7 million premature deaths each year. Although particulate matter (PM) exposure is clearly associated with adverse health effects, the most harmful chemical components remain uncertain. Read more

Testing classical nucleation theory through chemical and isotopic effects on heterogeneous ice nucleation

Ice nucleation is important in atmospheric clouds and hence influences weather and climate, yet our ability to predict whether a particular material will nucleate ice remains extremely limited (Knopf and Alpert, 2023). Read more

The sub-lethal impact of pesticides on foraging in bumblebees - linking landscape-scale behaviour change to molecular and physiological responses to understand the mechanism & mitigate its effects

The focus of the PhD is to understand the effects of pesticides on bees from a physiological perspective (differential gene-expression, metabolomics) and connecting this to behavioural changes in the field, by using a new landscape-scale tracking system, that allows us to track the bee as it forages, and record behaviour using an accelerometer.
