• We offer MPhil and PhD supervision in the following subjects areas associated with environment science:
  • Applied and environmental biology
  • We conduct research on organisms and processes of commercial and environmental importance, embracing experimental approaches that encompass genomics, molecular biology, biochemistry and physiology.
  • Our research provides evidence for the underlying molecular and physiological processes that affect animal behaviour and physiology.
  • Our research is driven by the desire to develop new biological systems that address health, food, energy and water security. The applied nature of our work has led to the launch of successful spin-out companies, such as Geneius.
  • These companies offer graduate employment opportunities and make a substantial contribution to the local economy. The commercial applications that result from our research range from natural products discovery and creation of novel antimicrobials and biopesticides to sustainable methods of reducing food spoilage.
