Biology
The School promotes an interdisciplinary approach to both applied and fundamental research problems and to postgraduate training. Research in the School is organised into three major interdisciplinary centres: the Scottish Oceans Institute (SOI), Biomedical Sciences Research Complex (BSRC) and Centre for Biological Diversity (CBD). Together these centres encompass the full spectrum of research in biological sciences, spanning investigations on the properties and behaviour of individual molecules to planetary environmental dynamics.

Fantastic feasts and where to find them : using biologging to investigate foraging behaviour of marine megafauna across a range of spatiotemporal scales
(University of St Andrews, 2021-12-01) - ThesisUnderstanding the strategies animals use to locate, select, and capture prey can guide more robust conservation efforts. In marine megafauna, foraging is often inferred from infrequent surface positions using biotelemetry ... -
Statistics, machine learning and deep learning for population genetic inference
(University of St Andrews, 2021-06-30) - ThesisDeciphering the evolutionary changes from raw DNA data effectively without the loss of intrinsic information has been the fundamental and core work in population genetics. However, some statistical challenges still restrict ... -
The investigation into protein Willin/FRMD6 in neuronal polarization and associated molecular mechanisms
(University of St Andrews, 2021-06-30) - ThesisNeuronal polarization is defined as the biological process where neurons obtain their molecular, morphological, and functional asymmetries between dendritic and axonal compartments. Establishing neuronal polarity, especially ...
