Achieving European freedom from a major invasive alien species: Reeves’ muntjac
Invasive alien species cost the global economy over US$300 billion annually and cause considerable environmental damage (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10530-021-02568-7). Read more
Adapting to climate change on subtropical reefs
Subtropical reef ecosystems with coral communities differ from their tropical coral reef neighbours, as they are shaped by a biogeographical overlap of taxa at their range margins, endemic species and seasonal species assemblages (Sommer et al. Read more
Ageing to Arrhythmias
Cardiac arrhythmias are a leading cause of sudden death and morbidity. This project aims to identify why they occur in the elderly and novel routes to therapies. Read more
How to regulate plasticity in the brain

Seeing inside the brain of Alzheimer’s disease by cryoET
The aim of this PhD project is to determine the in situ 3D molecular structures associated with AD to understand disease mechanisms and molecular pathways that can lead to the rational design of a mechanism-based therapy. Read more
Developing adjuvants to improve the antibacterial efficacy of fusidic acid: a novel approach to Antimicrobial Resistance?
Background. The antibiotic fusidic acid (FA) blocks bacterial protein synthesis by interacting with Elongation-factor G (EF-G). Resistance to FA is caused by FusB, which interacts with EF-G, altering its motion. Read more
