Assembly and Robotics Innovation in Steel Building Erection (ARISE)
This exciting project unites economists, civil engineers, computer scientists, robotics experts and safety specialists across a number of countries to consider the development and introduction of a new type of structural steel connection that is designed for rapid assembly, disassembly, and robotic assembly.

Innovative Spectroscopic Approaches to Water Quality Monitoring
Providing clean water to a growing global population is a huge challenge and there is now a pressing need for us to develop better methods to measure water quality, since these underpin efforts to prevent pollution and measure the success of remediation efforts. Read more
New tools for new antibiotic targets – The development of novel probes for mechanistic studies on bacterial glycolipid-processing enzymes
In 2019 antimicrobial resistance (AMR) killed more people than breast cancer, HIV and malaria. Addressing AMR is a real-world need (QUB Strategy 2030). Read more
An ecological approach to zoonotic parasite invasion into the UK through pet movement and climate change
Pet travel and imports bring risks of zoonotic parasite introductions. Changes in pet travel rules, commercial activity and rehoming from overseas have broadened possible sources and routes of infection, while the likelihood of exotic parasite establishment increases as climate warms. Read more
Law at Queen's: Postgraduate Research Opportunities
We have over 100 years of achievement in both education and research, and we offer PhD supervision across the legal field, supporting a range of approaches--from the doctrinal to the sociolegal, comparative, criminological and critical. Read more
Linking buffalo behaviour and movement ecology with risks of zoonotic disease transfer between contiguous domestic animals and human populations
Protected areas and wildlife reserves in developing countries maintain biodiversity and can also provide economic help for local communities. Read more
One-Flu: Wastewater-Guided Environmental Surveillance Platform to Understand the Ecology of Zoonotic Influenza A Virus (IAV) Threats
As evidenced by the current Covid-19 pandemic, the human population remains highly susceptible to zoonotic viral threats. Novel respiratory-borne, viral pathogens are of particular concern, given their pathogenic potential, ease of transmission, and lack of effective “off-the-shelf” pharmaceutical interventions. Read more
Zoonotic Pathogen Growth Rate – A Marker for Environmental Mapping of Disease Virulence and Therapy Resistance
The Challenge. Fasciola hepatica is a zoonotic pathogen that causes fasciolosis in animals and humans. Control is precarious and in the absence of an effective vaccine reliant on a small portfolio of flukicides to which resistance is growing. Read more
Developing heartworm diagnostics towards improved understanding of infection risk and disease preparedness
Heartworm (HW) is a zoonotic, mosquito-borne infection of dogs. Caused by the nematode Dirofilaria immitis, HW causes congestive heart failure in dogs, and pulmonary/subcutaneous dirofilariasis in humans. Read more
Using Data analytics to design innovative clinical trials in respiratory disease
Opportunities to test and bring new drugs and technologies to clinical care are delayed by our current clinical research ecosystem that is often extraordinarily complex and expensive. Read more
Parametric study of electrolyte flow in 3D-printed operando redox flow cells
Redox flow batteries (RFB) are a promising technology for stationary energy storage systems which will become a real necessity as we transition to a low-carbon energy landscape that relies more heavily on intermittent renewable energy. Read more

Identification of novel clinically actionable molecular subtypes in non-functioning pituitary neuroendocrine tumours
Research Group:
The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research
The pituitary is a small gland (about the size of a pea) below the brain. It secretes hormones that cascade throughout the body to regulate things like growth, fertility and metabolism. Read more

Nature-inspired and SERS-based characterisations of micro- and nano-plastics
Micro- and nanoplastic (MNPs) contamination has recently caused significant public concerns due to their potential adverse impact on human health, organisms, and ecosystem. Read more

Multispecies grasslands: Is this the solution to climate change and sustainable ruminant production systems?
The overall objective of Re-Livestock is to evaluate and mobilize the adoption of innovative practices applied cross-scale (animal, herd, farm, sector and region) to reduce GHG emissions from livestock farming systems and increase their capacity to deal with potential climate change impacts.

Extracellular vesicle-mediated regulation of B cell responses in autoimmune diabetic model
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
Autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, type I diabetes and systemic lupus, affect up to 10% of the population with debilitating symptoms and a significant economic burden. Read more
