Come along to hear three RSB graduates talk about their diverse careers in science and ask your questions on what you can do with a PhD in biological sciences!
Devastating fungal diseases threaten global food security and plant and animal populations, highlighting the need for rapid and accurate identification of fungal pathogens.

Wheat is an important food supplier contributing to about one-fifth of worldwide daily caloric and protein needs.

I have developed a novel E.coli based directed evolution system to evolve Ribulose-1,5 -bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), the rate-limiting enzyme in the Calvin Cycle of photosynthetic organisms.

Accurate estimation of gas exchange parameters has always been a fundamental aim of plant physiologists; from the more general assumptions and calculations presented by Moss and Rawlins (1963) up to the widely used model introduced by von Caemmerer and Farquhar (1981).
Animals live in an ever-changing world, but environmental perturbations are occurring at an alarming rate - threatening biodiversity and population persistence.

This thesis aimed to resolve how cyanobacterial Rubisco interacts with its binding partners both in vivo and in vitro.
I examine how some established population genetic models can be extended to accommodate insights from newer data and analytic methods.
Individuals can benefit by varying their investment in offspring. The optimal amount of investment may vary in relation to both climatic conditions and social conditions (such as the number of carers for the offspring).
