Order by Lab name

Caixian Tang - Plant-soil science

Research in this group focuses on soil and nutrient management, soil-plant interactions and the impacts of climate change on soil processes.

Gendall Lab - Plant development and physiology

Our research is based on plant energy metabolism: the impact of energy and stresses on plant quality and yields and the effectiveness of phosphate fertilisers in current agricultural practices.

Grant Lab - Nematode genetics

Our lab is focussed on the development and application of tools to elucidate and manipulate gene function in parasitic nematodes of mammals.

 Parish & Li Lab - Plant development and biotechnology

We are researching plant hormones, regulation of pollen development, and MYB genes and plant development.

Peter Sale - Plant-soil systems

Our research is focused on soil-plant-system interactions.

Plummer Lab - Molecular interactions at the plant-fungal interface

Our research is focused on the interactions of pathogenic fungi and plants.

Spithill Lab - Parasitology

The work of Professor Terry Spithill and his team of researchers is focuses on the issues around drug resistance threatening the control of liver fluke parasites (Fasciola hepatica, Fasciola gigantica) which cause major diseases in man and animals throughout the world.

Stear Lab - Animal parasitology & immunogenetics lab

Our group is led by Professor Mike Stear, who has over 40 years of experience in parasite research. The major aim of the group is to understand host-parasite interactions in animals, and to use this understanding to improve methods of parasite control.
