Past in present soils: Leveraging development-led archaeological data to generate insights into urban soil development and soil health
Healthy soils are essential to a sustainable future. In today’s rapidly expanding urban contexts, they are fundamental to improving biodiversity, storing water, supporting urban farming, and improving wellbeing. Read more
Development and evaluation of novel nitrogen removal strategies for animal slurries and anaerobic digestates for precision fertiliser application in a global context
Project Title: Development and evaluation of novel nitrogen removal strategies for animal slurries and anaerobic digestates for precision fertiliser application in a global context. Read more
Identifying host genetic factors shaping rhizosphere microbiome during root disease (ARORA_J23CASE)
Legumes play an important role in the diversification and sustainability of agriculture. Peas are a valuable legume crop as they contribute to meeting the growing demand for plant protein worldwide. Read more
Nanobody technology: feeding target authentication and mitigation strategies in crop protection.
Research Group:
Neurosciences
A 4-year BBSRC/UKRI and industry funded PhD focussed on the genetic and wider experimental tractability of the free-living C.elegans to develop nanobody technology to mitigate damaging agricultural effects of plant parasitic nematodes. Read more

PhD Studentship in Renewable Energy: Enhanced biohydrogen production using synthetic biology in extremophiles
Overview. The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities (ReNU). is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
A combined remote sensing and machine learning approach to monitoring crop stress and predicting crop yield
Optimising crop yield under current and future growth conditions is a key priority for ensuring future food security. Read more
Processing biomass waste for remediation of polluted waters through targeted engineered nanoparticles and nanomaterials (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/GIRON)
Humans are significantly transforming the Earth’s ecosystem by generating waste that leads to contamination of land surface and water, among other environmental problems. Read more
Towards engineering the plant microbiome: A molecular dissection of plant-bacteria-fungi interactions
Unsustainable farming practices, such as excessive fertiliser application, have caused environmental damage and led to a food system reliant on fossil fuel intensive processes. Read more
Developing nanomaterials to enhance and future-proof crop yields
Plants are critical for food security, carbon capture and the production of many of the materials we rely on. Novel ways to enhance plant growth and productivity are being investigated, and one of these is by looking at modifying plants at the nanoscale. Read more
MSc by Research: Signaling pathways controlling epidermal development in cereals
Plants living on land face brutal threats from pests, dehydration and temperature. To survive and thrive, land plants evolved a waxy ‘cuticle’ and distinctive epidermal cells such as gas pores and defensive barbs. Read more
MSc by Research: Jasmonate control of barley development
From the earliest farmers to modern plant breeders, humans have continually modified the body plan of cereals, sometimes drastically, to generate higher grain yields. Read more
MSc by Research: The Generation Gap – understanding tissue communication during grain development
Cereal grain provides more calories than any other source to our diet, making grain production vital to food security. We study grain development in barley, a globally important cereal, and a powerful genetic model system. Read more
MSc by Research: Regulation of Architecture in Barley
Plant architecture, or body plan, plays a key role in determining grain yield of crop plants. However, we have little understanding of the molecular genetic basis of architecture in the temperate cereals such as barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), especially in comparison to the warm weather crops such as rice (Oryza sativa). Read more
MSc by Research: Do any Bacillus subtilis strains have an inhibitory effect on phytophthora pathogens and potential as a future biocontrol?
The world needs a sustainable and secure supply of fresh and affordable food. Increased demand for berries is driven by their popularity and consumer belief in their healthful properties. Read more
MSc by Research: The role of 5’-UTRs in temperature-regulated gene expression
Plants display a remarkable degree of developmental plasticity, tailoring their growth and shape to their environment. Read more
