Life Sciences Building Project Link<\/a><\/p>\n I studied undergraduate Biology at the University Of Nottingham, focussing mainly on genetics. During this I carried out two summer placements working on animal parasitology\/immunology and electrophysiology, so have quite a broad range of experience. The parasitology involved measure macrophage response to a bovine brain parasite, whilst during my second placement I characterised the mode of action of centipede venom on a fly Na channel using two-electrode voltage clamping.<\/p>\n Research Project:<\/p>\n My PhD focusses on non-genotypic heterogeneity (NGH) in wild and domesticated yeast strains. NGH is a form of phenotypic, but not directly genetic, variance between individual clonal yeast cells. I am currently working on a new, less time consuming, method of measuring NGH that can subsequently be used throughout my project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PhD: Adaptation to environmental stress by evolution of non-genotypic heterogeneity within microbial populations Life Sciences Building University of Nottingham Email David Foster Project Link I studied undergraduate Biology at the University Of Nottingham, focussing mainly on genetics.
