Genetics of flowering shoot temperature responses in plants

Durham University Department of Biosciences

The shape of plants is shaped by both genetics and environment; changes in response to temperature can be the most dramatic of all. Read more

Understanding the evolution of gene regulatory networks through biophysical modelling and machine learning

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

The ability to coordinate the expression of genes within a cell is at the heart of life. When and how much of a specific gene is turned into a protein is essential for organisms to respond to their environment and to manage resources. Read more

In silico modelling of endocannabinoid evolution

University of Worcester Research School

In the brain, the endocannabinoid (eCB) system maintains adequate neurotransmission (Lu and Mackie 2016). Indeed, the eCB system provides a negative feedback mechanism, preventing over-activation of synaptic transmission. Read more

The evolutionary basis of feeding preferences: A Geometric Framework approach

The University of Western Australia School of Biological Sciences

Despite the essential role food plays in our lives, we have little understanding of how different nutrients work together to impact functioning, or the reasons individuals choose certain combinations of food. Read more

Supervisors: Dr Y Z Foo, Prof L Simmons

Year round applications PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Accelerating molecular phylogenetic inference using high performance computing.

University of Reading Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Project Overview. Molecular phylogenetic inference, constructing evolutionary histories from molecular data, is an activity universal to all biological disciplines. Read more

The role of regulatory evolution in phage ecology

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

The regulation of genes crucially determines the fitness and function of all organisms. This is particularly relevant for bacteriophages, the viruses that infect bacteria, as they rely on a tightly scheduled program for a successful infection. Read more

Supervisors: Dr M Lagator, Dr CI Igler

Improving Photosynthetic Efficiency - Engineering and Evolution of Light-Harvesting Complexes via Synthetic Biology

University of Liverpool Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology

Photosynthesis is the ultimate source of food and energy for almost all forms of life. Using sunlight as the energy input, photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere generating the oxygen and carbohydrate that support complex life. Read more

Supervisor: Dr D Canniffe

Cell biology and evolution of cancer metastasis

University of Reading Department of Biomedical Sciences

We are interested in the spread of cancer, a process called metastasis. Metastasis is responsible for the majority of cancer deaths and there are currently no effective treatments to stop this process. Read more
