In situ analysis of the T-cell receptor repertoire in colorectal cancer
As cancer cells divide their DNA accumulates new mutations, some of which will lead to the generation of neoantigens – mutant peptides that can be recognised by immune cells as non-self. Read more
Fossil insights into the developmental evolution of animal bodyplans during the “Cambrian Explosion”
PROJECT TITLE. Fossil insights into the developmental evolution of animal bodyplans during the “Cambrian Explosion”. Lead Institution. Read more
Modelling the effect of quorum sensing in fluid flow on biofilm function
Research Group:
Ecology and Evolution
We need to understand microbial communities, whether in the context of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) or their key role in global carbon cycling. Read more
Developing gregarine apicomplexans as aquatic symbiosis model system
The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation’s Symbiosis in Aquatic Systems Initiative, seeks to advance the understanding of aquatic symbioses that include microbial partners. Read more
Bees and Buzz Pollination In Crops: Evaluating The Potential For Matching Bee Vibrations and Buzz-Pollinated Crops To Improve Fruit Yield
Pollination is a major limitation of soft fruit production. Improving pollination therefore increases yield and quality of many soft fruits and vegetables. Read more
HFSP funded studentship on the evolution of insect sperm form and function
University of Lincoln is offering one fully-funded PhD studentship in connection to a three-year Human Frontiers Science Program project entitled “The evolution of sperm cell shape and motion”. Read more
Sex and Reproduction During the Evolution of Apes
. Reproduction is the prime imperative for species and even helps define life itself. For humans, reproductive biology, mating behaviours, and parenting overlap in profound and complex ways throughout our lives. Read more
Harnessing the power of plant social interactions to breed better rice
Applications are invited for a fully funded, 42 month PhD studentship commencing in October 2022 at the University of Aberdeen, as part of The newly established. Read more

EASTBIO: The role of operons and RNA spliced leader trans-splicing mechanisms in parallel evolution of eukaryotic parasitism
Supervisors. Dr Marius Wenzel -. University of Aberdeen, School of Biological Sciences - marius.wenzel@abdn.ac.uk. Professor Jonathan Pettitt. Read more
Improving Photosynthetic Efficiency - Engineering and Evolution of Light-Harvesting Complexes via Synthetic Biology
Applications will be reviewed until a suitable candidate is appointed. Photosynthesis is the ultimate source of food and energy for almost all forms of life. Read more
Engineering more water-use efficient crops: functional genomics of CO2 fixation during Crassulacean acid metabolism
The world is getting hotter and drier due to climate change, and the human population is growing rapidly to the extent that it has been predicted that we will need to increase crop yields by 50 - 70 % by 2050 in order to feed the predicted 9 - 10 billion people. Read more
Identification of cis- and trans-acting genetic modifiers of somatic expansion as novel therapeutic targets in the repeat expansion disorders
At least 40 human disorders, including Huntington disease and myotonic dystrophy, are caused by the expansion of a simple sequence repeat [1]. Read more
Evolution of ecological and species diversity in freshwater fishes
Ecological, morphological and evolutionary diversification among sympatric individuals often reflects divergent selective pressures along environmental gradients. Read more
Institute of Biodiversity, Animal Health & Comparative Medicine
The Institute is a fundamentally multidisciplinary research body with a key strength of working on interdisciplinary boundaries. We are unique in the UK in our ability to link research on animal diseases, production and welfare with ecological and evolutionary approaches. Read more
Shedding light on the functioning of root-fungal symbioses with high resolution isotopic imaging
In this exciting multi-disciplinary project, you will work at the interface between physical and biological sciences, using the latest technologies in both to address key questions that underlie food security in the face of changing climates. Read more
