BBSRC Institute Strategic Programme: Delivering Sustainable Wheat (DSW) Partner Grant
Delivering Sustainable Wheat (DSW) programme is needed because wheat is an indispensable global staple and the major crop of the UK and Western Europe. Wheat will play a crucial pa...
Collaborative Research:The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) regulates intracellular iron homeostasis via reversible binding of a [2Fe-2S] cluster in Escherichia coli
This NSF award will support a collaborative project of Dr. Huangen Ding (Louisiana State University) and Dr. Codrina V. Ewbank-Popescu (University of St. Thomas) for research condu...

Trojan Horse: Using virus-like particles as RNA delivery devices in invertebrates as a pest-control strategy
This proposal aims to spark a revolution in agricultural pest control for the 21st century. Since the middle of the twentieth century, insect pests have been controlled primarily t...
Bluetongue virus changes the emission of volatile organic chemicals in the body odour of sheep and cattle during infection
Mammals, including humans, constantly emit hundreds of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) as part of body odour and their individual composition alters in response to underlying bio...
Cultivating through Crises: Empowering African Small-Holders through Histories of Creative Emergency Response (CCEASH)
CCEASH aims to adopt a historiographical approach in order to demonstrate how smallholder farmers in Elgeyo-Marakwet County (EMC), Kenya, innovate and respond in times of crisis. T...
SusAgriChem - Sustainable Formulation of Agri-Chemicals via Dynamic Molecular Interfaces
Modern specialty chemicals are advanced multi-component systems that can contain immiscible fluids (e.g., water and organics), active ingredients, and several agents (e.g., surfact...
Transforming Food System Relationships
In this project, we will investigate the role that regional food systems could play in promoting healthier and more sustainable production and consumption practices, and how we can...
Northwest European Seasonal Weather Prediction from Complex Systems Modelling
The atmospheric circulation and jet stream (giant current of air) over the North Atlantic strongly influence seasonal weather conditions over Northwest Europe. Recent extreme seaso...
CAREER: Regional control of local functions: Dispersal and the biodiversity-ecosystem function relationship
Biological diversity has the potential to maintain healthy ecosystems. Multiple species work together to recycle nutrients, detoxify water and soils, and maintain water availabilit...
Efficient Bayesian modelling of infectious diseases in wildlife
Infectious diseases of wildlife result in significant welfare and conservation costs to wild animal populations. For example, chytridiomycosis is a fungal pathogen driving the mass...
Molecular mechanisms that boost systemic immunity in plants
Plants are sessile organisms that lack circulating immune cells. To fight bacterial infections, plants use small, mobile metabolites that travel throughout their vascular system to...
Data driven life science skills development - equipping society for the future
Executive summary We aim to develop and deliver workshops that help health and bioscience researchers - in academia, industry and society as a whole - to be both competent and c...
Negotiating the Modernity Crisis: Globalization, economic gain and the loss of traditional and sustainable food practices in Turkey
A globalized food system, seemingly of international benefit, poses many hidden dangers, particularly for developing countries. A desire within LMICs to modernize and enter the glo...
Agri-system histories and trajectories: crops, landscapes, and heritage
We aim to create a holistic framework to study traditional agri-systems within their local agroecological, cultural, and historical settings, focusing on Tigray in the northern Eth...
Bioproduction of a high-value synthetic ketone ester and its precursors for a UK-based value and supply chain
Biological technologies are important in the production of many types of products, and will become increasingly important in future, for several reasons: (1) Much conventional man...
Constructing Cosmoscapes of Climate Change through Reciprocal Anthropology
The vast scale of climate change constitutes an urgent motivation for human communities and academic disciplines to converse and collaborate, and many are seeking more sustainable...
RESEARCH-PGR: Genetics and Mechanisms of Microbe-dependent Heterosis
In corn and many other crop and wild plants, hybrid cultivars are larger, more resilient, and more productive than their inbred parent cultivars. This phenomenon, called hybrid vig...
Discovering reasons for global atmospheric methane growth using deuterium isotopes
This proposal is to measure and model deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) isotope ratios in methane, to constrain the uncertainties in the global methane budget. Measurement will include 1) F...
Co-production of healthy, sustainable food systems for disadvantaged communities
Our vision is to provide citizens of culturally-diverse disadvantaged communities with choice and agency over the food they consume, by co-developing new products, new supply chain...
