Development of effective phage cocktails for precise crop protection measures

Crop production plays a crucial role in ensuring global food security and maintaining economic stability, especially with the global population projected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, necessitating a 70% increase in food production. Read more

Modelling the spread and control of livestock and zoonotic infectious diseases

Mathematical models are extensively used in both public-health and veterinary-health policy planning. Modern predictive models are now at the heart of policy decisions, and such models are having an increasing role in supporting decisions associated with livestock infections. Read more

Assessment and engineering of the Brassica self-incompatibility locus to enhance seed production

Genetic diversity enables species to adapt to changing environments. If a plant produces pollen that fertilises its own stigma, a process known as self-pollination, the resulting progeny will lose genetic diversity and could become inbred and thus less competitive. Read more

Integration of environmental signals in plants

Plants use a diversity of signals from the environment to make decisions during their life cycle. This project will focus on understanding how multiple signals from the environment are integrated to control seed dormancy. Read more

A view from inside; how pathogen effectors choregraph organelles to suppress plant immunity and promote colonisation

Biotic stress contributes disproportionately to crop losses, accounting for more than of 25% of global yield. Thus, developing novel approaches to restricting pathogen infections of crops and consequently improving yields must be a key futurey objective for food security. Read more

Upcycling Farm Residues into Fungal Bio-inks for 3D Printing

This research plan is a collaboration between the School of Life Sciences and the School of Engineering, which will see the candidate work on fundamental aspects of biomaterials development while at the same time leading to practical applications of 3D bio-printing. Read more

Unravelling the global microbiome of crop plants to improve sustainability and food security

Plants live in close association with complex communities of microbes which together constitute their ‘microbiome’. The microbiome interacts with the plant in numerous ways; some microbes are beneficial and promote plant growth, while others are pathogens which reduce crop yields. Read more
