Hindcasting faunal distributions in the Holocene to understand interactions between ancient societies, biodiversity and climate
BACKGROUND. Faced with the urgent challenge of predicting the consequences of current and future climate change, it is imperative that we seek to learn lessons about climate-animal-human relations from the long-term records available from the past. Read more
Mapping chondrocyte inflammatory responses using gene editing approaches
Healthy cartilage in our joints is essential for us to maintain an active life into old age. The cells that maintain cartilage are called chondrocytes and maintenance of their phenotype is important for healthy ageing. Read more
Characterising the genetic control of quality attributes in Pak Choi Brassica rapa subsp. Chinensis (L.).
Sustainable vegetable production requires the constant development of new resilient varieties that are suited to a variable climate. Read more
Dissecting bacteriophage:treponeme interactions to develop novel therapeutics for bovine digital dermatitis
Bovine digital dermatitis (BDD) is a severe, infectious, foot skin disease affecting cattle worldwide. This disease causes severe pain resulting in ruminant lameness and impacting animal welfare. Read more
Expanding the metabolism of the most primitive phototroph
Carbon fixation and conversion into carbohydrate is one of the dominant biochemical processes in nature, supplying the cellular building blocks for all living organisms. Read more
Investigating the role of chromatin in regulation of co-transcriptional RNA quality control
Transcription, the first step in gene expression, underpins life. Elimination of aberrant transcripts is vital for proper gene expression and of paramount importance to cellular homeostasis. Read more
Novel role of non-coding RNAs in regulating genomic DNA methylation
One of the biggest surprises of the human genome sequencing was the finding that a majority (~75%) of the genome is transcribed into non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that do not code for proteins. Read more
Stem-cell based tissue engineering for animal health: defining mechanical strain and growth factor combinations for structural and functional maturation
This project offers an exciting opportunity to develop bioengineered tissue replacements and therapies for tendon and ligament injury. Read more
Development and evaluation of lateral-flow test for rapid detection of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae in poultry clinical samples
Background. Protecting the health of poultry is fundamental in ensuring their welfare, health and production. Often, early diagnosis provides opportunities for early intention to safeguard the health of poultry flocks and avoid production losses. Read more
Development of sensitive molecular viral assays to screen anti-SARS-CoV-2 formulations
The CASE PhD studentship provides an exciting and innovative collaboration between the University of Liverpool and Unilever to develop novel assays to monitor the anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity of newly developed products. Read more
The effect of pressure modulation on cell fate decisions during early development
This exciting project offers an opportunity for a motivated student to contribute to new understanding of the influence of physical/mechanical signalling on cell decision making during development. Read more
Developing novel technologies to analyse cellular differentiation processes during embryonic development in vivo and ex vivo
During embryogenesis, all cell types of the body are being established through carefully controlled differentiation processes. In mammals, one of these organ systems of central importance is the vasculature. Read more
A conflict of interests: How do viruses manipulate their mosquito-vector to increase their own transmission?
Hosts and their pathogens are often in conflict for their optimal survival/reproduction strategy. In some cases the goals are so different that pathogens have evolved a means of manipulating their hosts’ behaviour. Read more
Diversifying the histone code: defining the role of non-canonical phosphorylation in chromatin structure
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histones are known to direct chromatin structure and thus gene transcription. Read more
Climate-sick reindeer: developing model-based decision support tools to inform veterinary interventions for brainworm in managed reindeer
Reindeer herding is central to indigenous Sami culture, identity, and food security. Sustainable herding practices with high levels of animal welfare require up to date knowledge about disease and changing disease risk throughout the year. Read more
