Dr Graziella IossaItaly course lead
I am a behavioural and evolutionary ecologist with broad interests in evolutionary and ecological mechanisms. My research is on reproduction and the interplay between evolution, behaviour and ecology. I have worked with mammals and insects in the lab and in nature.
Professor Anna WilkinsonMy research focuses on understanding animal cognition as part of a biological framework. I am interested in the way reptiles and amphibians perceive the world, how they learn about their environment and how they use and retain this information. More in general, I am interested in how animals process the vast amount of information that they perceive daily, why they attend to certain elements of their environment and how flexible their use of this information is.
Dr Simon CleggI am a veterinary microbiologist who is particularly interested in infectious agents of animals, the effect that they have on the animal (and on humans) and how they are transmitted. This could be parasitic infections- such as worms or ticks, bacterial infections, including antimicrobial resistance, and viruses. I also have interests in how human-animal interactions allows for transmission of infectious agents.

Dr Iain StottIain works with mathematical models, statistical analysis, big(-ish) data and develops new software. His research understands how environmental and human disturbances to ecological system structures affects their resilience and their function over time and across space.
Dr Mark OdellMy subject specialism is in protein biochemistry. I use recombinant protein expression and purification to allow my group to study protein properties, functions and enzyme mechanisms. I am particularly interested in investigating factors that promote protein crystal growth. Work in my group also explores the development of new compounds that have anti-microbial properties including a new class of inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
