We supervise MPhil and PhD students whose interests match the expertise in these areas of biology:
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

You can find more information about staff specialisms on the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences website.
We invite you to propose your own research topic, or you can follow one of the projects suggested on the School of Natural and Environmental SciencesÊwebsite. If you wish to develop your own research topic, you are recommended to contact a potential supervisor at the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences to develop your ideas, before submitting your formal application via the Applicant Portal.
You will benefit from two supervisors from our research community. You are encouraged to present your research results at our annual Postgraduate conference. You'll also benefit from training in a wide range of transferable skills, such as statistics and web design, through the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering (SAgE) Graduate School.
Industry
The School of Natural and Environmental Sciences has good contacts with industry and hosts seminars and workshops, some of which are attended by visiting professors from industry. Biology students have the opportunity to participate at national and international conferences and to supplement their income by undertaking undergraduate laboratory demonstrating.Ê
