A multidisciplinary study of dune environments; past to present
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
Modelling effects of microclimate variability on climate-induced ranges shifts in Madagascar
Anthropogenic climate change (ACC) is anticipated to significantly alter the future distribution of plant species in tropical regions. Read more
Comparative and population genomics of Drosophilidae
Our lab seeks to understand the drivers of genome evolution; where two genomes are different, why are they different? What are the relative roles of selection… Read more
Antiviral defence during early development
The major innate immune response against viruses, the type I interferon response, is inactive during the very early days of embryonic development. Read more
Why are some lineages of plants more diverse than others?
Begonia has over 2000 species, it's sister genus Hillebrandia has only one species. Within Begonia some early branching lineages have produced only a few species, where sister lineage have radiated. Read more
Investigating how chromatin guides de novo DNA methylation
DNA methylation is the most common epigenetic mark found in mammals and is associated with gene repression. It is catalysed by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and dysregulation can cause developmental diseases and cancers. Read more
Metagenomics and Modelling of Synthetic and Bioaugmented Microbial Communities for Bioremediation and Animal Health
Microorganisms and their communities are fundamental to natural environmental processes, human and animal health, and tackling the challenges of industrial contamination, waste treatment and sustainable energy generation. Read more
Dissecting the molecular mechanism of chromosome segregation in the marine plankton Diplonema papillatum
We are interested in discovering the fundamental principle of chromosome segregation in eukaryotes. Our focus is on the kinetochore, a highly complicated macromolecular protein machine that assembles onto centromeric DNA and interacts with spindle microtubules during mitosis and meiosis. Read more
Mathematical models of RNA and protein dynamics and their integration with gene expression data
A gene regulatory network involves a set of genes interacting with each other to control cellular functions. For example, in autoregulation, a protein expressed from a gene activates or suppresses its own transcription, thereby regulating the number of proteins through negative or positive feedback [1].

Navigating risk: The ecology, evolution, and genetics of pathogen avoidance behaviour
Behavioural immunity is an animal's first line of defence against infection, characterized by behaviours that help animals avoid contact with infectious environments or infected conspecifics. Read more
Investigating the Interplay Between Epigenetic Modifications and Gene Editing in Algae
Epigenetic modifications play a crucial role in regulating gene expression in all organisms, including algae. They can also influence gene editing by modulating CRISPR/Cas targeting and activity, as well as subsequent DNA repair processes (1). Read more
Genomic architecture of speciation and gene flow in an exceptionally diverse primate group
The chromosomal theory of speciation stipulates that differences in karyotypes, consisting of fissions and fusions, and intrachromosomal structural variants, are strong barriers to gene flow. Read more
Role of kinetochore proteins in building and regenerating neural circuits
The brain is a complex network of billions of neurons structured through highly specialized compartments. dendrites that receive signals, and axons that transmit them. Read more
Real-Time Control and Analysis of Molecular Dynamics Using High-Speed AFM Height Spectroscopy Mapping
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Molecules exhibit dynamic behaviours that occur over a wide range of time and length scales, often requiring atomic-level spatial resolution and microsecond temporal resolution for accurate characterization. Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Understanding how damaged DNA is excised and repaired to maintain genome integrity and prevent cancer.
Background. DNA is constantly damaged and must be repaired to prevent genome instability and cancer. Conversely chemotherapy typically induces DNA damage to cause cancer cell death. Read more
