Competition and cooperation relationships within human microbial communities.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

Typical studies of the human microbiome identify dysbiosis by sampling from healthy individuals, comparing them to individuals with a particular disease state, and reporting changes in the presence and/or abundance of bacterial species. Read more

Exosome biogenesis and organelle trafficking in neurodegeneration.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

Scientific summary. Intracellular transport pathways are fundamental for cell structure and function. Due to their longevity, complex morphology (long axonal and dendritic extensions) and requirement to maintain synaptic transmission, neurons are heavily dependent upon intracellular transport.

Adaptation to environmental change in animals: ecology, evolution and genomics.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

How are animals able to live in different environments, with different temperatures, energetic demands, diet, predators, parasites or pH? Thanks to advances in gene sequencing technology, we are in a remarkable period of discovery about the genomic basis of adaptation and how this depends on the intricacies of ecology and environment.

Identification and characterisation of bacteriocins from environmental samples active against strains of Clostridium difficile.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

Clostridiodes difficile is a cause of neonatal enteritis in livestock such as pigs, cattle and horses. Affected animals develop respiratory problems, abdominal distention and bloody diarrhoea leading to weight loss and in extreme cases mortality. Read more
