How is climate change driving the re-emergence and evolution of anthrax
Bacillus anthracis is the spore-forming bacteria which causes Anthrax. It persists in the environment as inert spores which are ingested/inhaled by susceptible grazing animals. Read more

Balancing benefits and trade-offs from future forests
Expansion of forest cover is recognised as an essential tool in our efforts to reduce rising greenhouse gas concentrations and mitigate a broad range of negative impacts resulting from the climate crisis. Read more
The Internal Condensation Engine for power generation from low temperature waste heat
Supervisory Team. Gerald Muller. Project description. In the UK, there is a potential of low temperature waste heat and waste steam with temperatures of 80 to 150 C of 7 TWh per year, this corresponds to 40% of the total waste heat production. Read more
Concentrating solar mirror for high temperature solar power
Supervisory Team. Gerald Muller. Project description. Solar power is a major component of the drive towards a CO2 free power generation. Read more

How does dietary phytase improve animal nutrition? (BREARLEY_U23CASE)
Fungi are highly adaptable to their environment and produce a vast number of bioactive molecules when under stress. These molecules not only provide fungi with a survival advantage but many have antimicrobial, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, cholesterol-reducing, and insecticidal properties. Read more
Heat shapes plant growth - unravelling crosstalk between temperature and hormone signalling pathways in the control of leaf development
Ambient temperature has profound effects on almost all aspects of plant development, from the onset of seed germination and seedling establishment to flower and fruit production, and thereby also impacts crop quality and yield. Read more
Within-host drivers of zoonotic disease dynamics
Project overview. Individuals are host to a diverse set of organisms, including parasite communities of helminths, protozoa, bacteria, and viruses, but how each component interacts is unclear. Read more
One-Flu: Wastewater-Guided Environmental Surveillance Platform to Understand the Ecology of Zoonotic Influenza A Virus (IAV) Threats
As evidenced by the current Covid-19 pandemic, the human population remains highly susceptible to zoonotic viral threats. Novel respiratory-borne, viral pathogens are of particular concern, given their pathogenic potential, ease of transmission, and lack of effective “off-the-shelf” pharmaceutical interventions.
