The impact of horizontal gene transfer on the evolution of eukaryotes
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is defined as the movement of genetic material across extended phylogenetic distances. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme - Understanding the link between population-level processes and broad-scale biodiversity patterns
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
EASTBIO: Tackling antibiotic tolerance in Gram-negative bacteria
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major problem that is expected to continue to grow. However, currently, many more people die of infections caused by bacteria that do not show genetic resistance to antibiotics. Read more
EASTBIO: The contribution of environmental sensing by Pseudomonas aeruginosa to antimicrobial resistance and infection outcomes
Bacterial pathogens possess remarkable phenotypic plasticity, enabling them to survive in a range of hostile environments. Read more
EASTBIO: Cracking the code - characterising plant genes shaping microbiota composition at the root-soil interface
This project aims at gaining novel insights into the genetic relationships between plants and microbial communities populating the interface between roots and soil, collectively referred to as the rhizosphere microbiota. Read more
The role of maternal effects in the evolution of offspring traits in Soay sheep
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
The environment an individual experiences in early life can have profound effects on traits expressed throughout life, and in turn on fitness. Read more
EASTBIO: Unravelling the Role of Rare Variants Linked to Language-Related Traits
What genes influence language abilities in humans? What molecular mechanisms mediate the effects of specific genetic mutations on language abilities? How did language evolve? Answering these questions is very challenging, but the integration of genomic technologies and large cohorts has led to highly promising discoveries. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme - Traits innovation and elaboration in marine ecosystems
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more

The evolutionary genomics of life-history adaptations in pinnipeds
Pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, fur seals and walrus) are keystone marine predators, and sentinels for marine ecosystem health. Read more
Understanding Causal Effects of Perturbations on Social Systems to Allow Prediction of Natural Populations’ Responses to Change
Natural populations are often experience a variety of perturbations, ranging from extreme seasonal changes, weather events, disease outbreaks, or anthropogenic pressures. Read more
Adaptation to extreme environmental change: Consequences of multiple stressors for species interactions and their extinction risk
The increasing rate at which climate change is occurring, and the frequency and magnitude of change, means that environments can be unpredictable, they can change abruptly, and they can be extreme. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Migration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa towards antibiotics: mechanisms and consequences
Background. P.aeruginosa is a globally significant “priority” bacterial pathogen (WHO) that causes life-threatening antibiotic-resistant infections. Read more
