Dr. Hazel Davey
Reader in Biology
Research Focus
Current research funding from BBSRC and EU to enhance our understanding of stress responses
Scientific Activities
Microbial physiology using the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a biotechnologically relevant setting to understand viability and vitality, stress response and heterogeneity. Methods include flow cytometry and radio-frequency impedance spectroscopy. Part of this work is undertaken collaboratively with AU spin-out company Aber Instruments Ltd.
