Biological Sciences Research Group
Faculty of Education, Health and Sciences
The Biological Sciences Research Group has research interests that are wide ranging and cut across many disciplines. Our members work together on national and international collaborations, and bring to the Group a diverse collection of specialisms and expertise, which enhances our research. The group currently has several significant research areas, specifically:
- Plant conservation biotechnology, particularly the
development and exploitation of cryopreservation - The function and evolution of nuptial feeding in insects
Molecular conservation genetics and evolutionary biology
Cell biology of gynaecological and breast cancers - Biophysical applications in biological and forensic sciences
Interactions of toxic metals with biota; risk
assessment of elements to human health
