Ecology and conservation

Our Ecology and Conservation Research Group works to understand patterns observed in nature - species and habitats. This often includes anthropogenic effects.

We collaborate with a variety of organisations concerned with species and habitat conservation, including statutory responsibility. We work with research partners and conservation practitioners from the UK and across the globe.s and clinical pharmacy.

Our research covers:

  • genetics
  • conservation
  • human-wildlife interactions
  • ecology

Biological, clinical and environmental systems modelling

The Biological, clinical and environmental systems modelling group focuses on analysing the structure and dynamics of complex biological and clinical systems. We have a specific interest in investigating spatially and temporally heterogeneous processes in biology. We are driven by practical problem solving through the use of modelling.

Applied and Environmental Biology

We conduct research on organisms and processes of commercial and environmental importance. Our experimental approaches include:

  • genomics
  • molecular biology
  • biochemistry
  • physiology

Some examples of the commercial applications we develop include:

  • natural products discovery
  • creation of novel antimicrobials and biopesticides
  • sustainable methods of reducing food spoilage
  • microbes involved in biofuel production
  • uses of microbes in bioremediation of polluted environments
