Philosophy

Science is a blast: we aim to have fun. Operating within a supportive research environment our lab provides a place for interdisciplinary thinkers interested in an independent and creative approach to doing science.

Our lab is comprised of scientists and researchers from a variety of disciplines:

  • Evolution
  • Microbiology
  • Genetics
  • Ecology
  • Parasitology
  • Plant-microbe interactions
  • Biochemistry

Research

Our main research themes integrate a range of scientific disciplines — from experimental evolution, to parasitology, to infectious disease, to the evolution of individuality, to genetics and protein work. Our interests also span several hierarchical levels, from genes (and proteins), the chromosomes, cells, kin-groups through to ecosystems. Follow the links below to find out a little more on each of the research areas listed below.
