Contribution of insula activity to control of tic-like movements and other behaviours relevant to Tourette’s syndrome: integrative neuroscience studies in rats iCASE project
Industrial partner Neupulse. Human brain imaging studies have linked activity of the insula brain region to action/movement control and motor tics – repetitive movements that resemble normal movements but are produced outside the normal context of these movements and are characteristic of Tourette’s.

The role of maternal effects in the evolution of offspring traits in Soay sheep
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
The environment an individual experiences in early life can have profound effects on traits expressed throughout life, and in turn on fitness. Read more
Validating quantitative measures of uncertainty in communicative interaction as indicators of affective valence in wild animals
Applications are invited for a fully-funded three year PhD to commence in October 2025. . Read more
Understanding Causal Effects of Perturbations on Social Systems to Allow Prediction of Natural Populations’ Responses to Change
Natural populations are often experience a variety of perturbations, ranging from extreme seasonal changes, weather events, disease outbreaks, or anthropogenic pressures. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Migration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa towards antibiotics: mechanisms and consequences
Background. P.aeruginosa is a globally significant “priority” bacterial pathogen (WHO) that causes life-threatening antibiotic-resistant infections. Read more
Modelling rare genetic disease variants in Neurodevelopmental Disorders: strengthening Xenopus as a key screening tool for diagnosis and improved mechanistic understanding.
Applications are invited for a fully-funded three year PhD to commence in October 2025. . The PhD will be based in the Faculty of Science and Health and will be supervised by Dr Annie Godwin, Dr Helen Willsey (UCSF) and Professor Matt Guille. . Read more
E5 DLA Project; Investigating the Biodiversity and Ecological Determinants of Fungus Gnats (Sciaridae): An Emerging Pest in Glasshouse Environments
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
As the UK transitions towards a ban on peat in plant-growing media, the adoption of more sustainable alternatives such as wood fibre, wood chips, and green compost has led to a rise in the prevalence of fungus gnats in glasshouse environments, where they can become significant pests. Read more
E5 DLA Project; Social networks, fitness and ageing in a wild vertebrate population
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Social behaviour varies considerably among individual animals within natural populations. Mounting evidence from field studies shows that this variation has important consequences for individual health and fitness. Read more
E5 DLA Project; The role of maternal effects in the evolution of offspring traits in Soay sheep
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
The environment an individual experiences in early life can have profound effects on traits expressed throughout life, and in turn on fitness. Read more
E5 DLA: Impacts of climate change on the development, persistence, and consequences of animal personalities in amphibians
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Most animals show consistent behavioural differences among behavioural traits, referred to as animal personalities, and different behaviours are linked across different contexts, referred to as behavioural syndromes. Read more
Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Cold Signalling in Somatosensory Neurons
Temperature influences almost every aspect of life in animals posing a huge impact on their quality of life. It is thus not surprising that detection of ambient temperature is one of the most fundamental aspects of physiology across the animal kingdom. Read more
Brainstem circuits in stress-induced changes to behaviour and physiology
A key function of the brain is to constantly monitor our environment – both our surroundings as well as our internal state. As an example, as we eat our stomach distends. Read more
Molecular mechanisms of selective autophagy during the course of ageing
Ageing is a complex process that involves a progressive decline in physiological functions of an organism, eventually causing disease and death. Read more
Developmental genetics and transcriptional profiling of craniofacial development
We study how tens of thousands of neural crest cells, each belonging to a limited set of discrete neural crest stem cell populations are creating complex 3D structures such as teeth, craniofacial structures, heads and tongues. Read more
Plasma membrane organisation in tissue formation and patterning
What is the role of plasma membrane organisation in tissue formation and patterning? . Tissue development and patterning rely on an intricate interplay of cellular interactions, gene regulatory networks, morphogens, and environmental/mechanical cues. Read more
