Virus diversity and disease on UK trout farms: metaviromic approaches for improved fish health
What problem will I be helping to solve?. We know that about a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions come from food production. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Wild solutions: unlocking the potential of native grass microbiomes to boost crop resilience to environmental stress
Project Overview. As climate change, modern agriculture, and land-use changes continue to degrade soil health and threaten global food security, there is an urgent need for sustainable solutions. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Effects of climate extremes on the reproduction of trees: how does drought affect seed production?
Background. Reproduction is key to the resilience of forests, but we know little about its response to climate change. For example, severe summer droughts increase tree mortality and reduce tree growth, but for most species we don’t know how seed production responds. Read more
Fee Waiver PhD Scholarship: Exploring the market demand and potential for paludiculture crops in the UK
Applications are invited for a PhD Scholarship with tuition fee waivers funded by the Sustainability Research Institute (SRI) as part of the University of East London (UEL) Year of Science Festival celebration. Read more
Can AI-based weather and climate models enhance humanitarian response and energy planning?
Background. As climate change continues to unfold, enhanced early warning systems for natural hazards are a key part of disaster risk reduction. Read more
Integrating weather and climate information into innovations and metrics for agricultural advisories
Background. Rainfed agriculture is a vital source of food and income for subsistence farmers in Kenya. Agricultural yields across Kenya are highly impacted by variations in rainfall on timescales from days to decades, with climate change altering the profile of rainfall-related risk. Read more
Boosting genetic immunity of pea against downy mildew pathogen (ARORA_J25CASE)
Pea (Pisum sativum) is an essential crop for sustainable agriculture, valued for its nitrogen-fixing capabilities and as a key source of plant-based protein. Read more
CASE Project: Revolutionising Early Detection of Crop Pathogenesis using AI-based analysis of digital Imagery.
This project will be undertaken in collaboration with Data Dynamics Ltd and includes a minimum 3-month placement based at the Industry Partner's premises. Read more
CASE Project: OptiPol - Optimised composting of poultry manure for sustainable processing of farm waste
This project will be undertake in collaboration with Newquip Ltd and will involve a minimum 3-month placement based at the Industry Partner's premises. Read more
Decoding the Cross-talk Between RNA-binding Proteins, Phosphorylation, and Molecular Chaperones in Post-Transcriptional Gene Regulation in Toxoplasma gondii
This exciting PhD project aims to unravel the fundamental molecular mechanisms controlling gene expression in the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, an organism of significant importance in veterinary and agricultural biosciences. Read more
Viral infection capacity across crustaceans of economic importance
Crustacean diseases cause economic damage to industry and the environment. Billions are lost on a yearly basis due to disease in crustacean aquaculture and, in wild systems, crustaceans commonly introduce disease-causing microbes as biological invaders. Read more
Genomics and genetics of traditional smallholder crops: amaranth and cowpea
Traditional, or underutilised, crops are not traded internationally, but can play a role in the resilience and sustainability of local food systems. Read more
Developing novel insecticidal proteins for crop protection
Project Overview. Undertake a cutting-edge PhD research project at the UoY’s Centre for Novel Agricultural Products (CNAP), focused on addressing one of the most pressing challenges in agriculture. Read more
Chemical warfare in the rhizosphere: unpicking the defensive role of plant root exudates against the bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum
Background. R. solanacearum is a devastating bacterial plant pathogen which causes potato brown rot and bacterial wilt diseases. It has a global distribution, wide host range, and no effective control methods. Read more
