Current research projects

The School of Health's Biosciences Research Group is currently involved in a number of projects in the area of microbial survival mechanisms.

Current projects include:

• The effects of novel preservative regimes on the growth and survival of food pathogens
• The use of essential oil vapours for reducing microbial contamination
• The control of Clostridium difficile in the community
  

Research is also being undertaken in a range of other areas including molecular biology, microbiology, physiology and nutrition.
