Analysis of pathogen determinants recognized by the hypervariable immune receptor Dscam

University of Birmingham School of Biosciences

Background. To mount an immune response, host organisms must first recognize the pathogen with which they are infected. The first line of defense against pathogen infection in animals is provided through the innate immune response. Read more

Understanding eye-hand coordination in object interception - a computational modelling approach

University of Birmingham School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences

This PhD project with Dr Yeo will focus on understanding how we perform interception. Interceptive movements--such as catching a gently thrown ball, quickly grabbing a tilting cup to avoid spilling or even just handshaking someone--feel like trivial everyday tasks for us that seemingly look too simple to study.
