  Diet and mTor signaling in ageing-related neurodegenerative disease
University of Sheffield Department of Animal and Plant Sciences
  Dr M J P Simons, Dr S Sweeney
Applications accepted all year round
Reducing food intake robustly increases lifespan in model organisms. When this data is extrapolated to humans, the predicted gain in healthy lifespan beats curing all stroke, diabetes, cancer and cardiac disease.

  How does rising atmospheric CO2 change the productivity of crops and trees?
University of Sheffield Department of Animal and Plant Sciences
  Prof C P Osborne
Applications accepted all year round
Professor Colin Osborne, Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK. New research in the lab investigates how plant growth is controlled by the supply of carbon from photosynthesis (source strength) verses the demand for carbon in growing tissues (sink strength).
