We undertake world-class research many areas of biology, from genomics and cells, to whole-organism biology and evolution, to population biology and ecosystems.
I love bats!
Listen, and I’ll tell you all about my job and the animals I study.
What is your research about?
My research focuses on understanding the impact of human development on wildlife and examining the ecological responses of species to climate change.
I combine novel genetic tools with field experiments and ecological and statistical modelling.
Who do you work with?
Collaboration is an essential part of modern science.
I work closely with academics, government bodies and charities around the world to deliver cutting-edge research projects and to improve conservation measures for threatened species.
