Journal Article
Stetkiewicz, S., Menary, J., Nair, A., Rufino, M., Fischer, A. R. H., Cornelissen, M., …Davies, J. A. C. (2023). Food system actor perspectives on future-proofing European food systems through plant breeding. Scientific Reports, 13(1), Article 5444. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-32207-1

Crop improvement is a key innovation area in the pursuit of sustainable food systems. However, realising its potential requires integration of the needs and priorities of all agri-food chain stakeholders. In this study, we provide a multi-stakeholder...

Biology, epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of selected fish-borne parasitic zoonoses (2021)
Journal Article
Cong, W., & Elsheikha, H. M. (2021). Biology, epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of selected fish-borne parasitic zoonoses. Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine, 94(2), 297-309

Fish-borne parasites have been part of the global landscape of food-borne zoonotic diseases for many decades and are often endemic in certain regions of the world. The past 20 years or so have seen the expansion of the range of fish-borne parasitic z...

Cordycepin, a metabolite of Cordyceps militaris, reduces immune-related gene expression in insects (2020)
Journal Article
Woolley, V. C., Teakle, G. R., Prince, G., de Moor, C. H., & Chandler, D. (2020). Cordycepin, a metabolite of Cordyceps militaris, reduces immune-related gene expression in insects. Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 177, Article 107480. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jip.2020.107480

Hypocrealean entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) (Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota) are natural regulators of insect populations in terrestrial environments. Their obligately-killing life-cycle means that there is likely to be strong selection pressure for trait...

Productivity framework (2018)
Journal Article
Wagstaff, C., Kendrick, F., Dennis, C., Hollington, P., Hess, T., Brameld, J., …Mason, B. (2018). Productivity framework. Food Science and Technology, 32(4), 56-61. https://doi.org/10.1002/fsat.3204_16.x

Researchers look at skills shortages and careers pathways in the agrifood industry. Sustaining the agriculture, food and drink industries requires human capital. Current estimates calculate that the agrifood supply chain employs approaching 4m people... Read More about Productivity framework.

The effects of milking frequency in early lactation on milk yield, mammary cell turnover, and secretory activity in grazing dairy cows (2014)
Journal Article
Murney, R., Margerison, J. K., Stelwagen, K., Wheeler, T., & Singh, K. (2015). The effects of milking frequency in early lactation on milk yield, mammary cell turnover, and secretory activity in grazing dairy cows. Journal of Dairy Science, 98(1), 305-311. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2014-8745

In dairy cows, short-term changes of milking frequency in early lactation have been shown to produce an immediate and a long-term effect on milk yield in stall-fed cows. The effect is controlled locally within mammary glands and could be a function o...
